ROOK’S RECAP 4.0

 

I’m such a baby yeah the Dolphins make me cry

-Hootie and the Blowfish

 

 

 

THE LEAD ITEM

TWO WORDS: OH. NO

 

I never thought I would have to use the classic Hootie line at this point of the season. The dolphins are supposed to be at least 3-1 right now. But 1-3? What? This team had one of the easiest opening four games known to man. Opening night against a team without their starting QB; Week 2 against a weak QB; Week 3 against the Titans, the third worst team in football; and week 4 in Houston, the second worst team in football. And now they find themselves in a major, major hole. I don’t know what to expect from the rest of the season only to say to leave Daunte in and get him back to form for next season. The dolphins stink. We’ve been duped by the media!! We’ve been duped by SI.

 

THE GAME

To be honest I never watched the debacle. The Dolphins games are so far down the importance totem pole, nobody was showing it on any screen in any bar in Halifax. So, instead I went to see the Halifax Mooseheads play the St. John’s Fog Devils. Halifax were leading 11-2 in the second period (Groan) when I decided to find a TV with NFL scores. I finally asked a bartender at the stadium and here’s how it went.

 

Rook: What was the score of the dolphins game?

Bartender: Houston won 17-15 (laughs)

Rook: What? Are you kidding? (everyone around bar laughs because I am a dolphins fan)

Bartender: I even picked that one. 17-15 is a pro-line tie. Miami sucks this year man.

Rook: great. (Groannnnn)

 

FINAL SCORE: Houston 17 Miami 15

 

Cheers to: Wes Welker. New record holder in dolphins kickoff return yardage

Jeers to: Miami for losing to Houston again!!!  What is it with this team.

 

Ally’s All Star Dolphin: Marty Booker

 

Dawg-o-meter: 2

TWID (this week in dolphins history)

 

October 4, 1981. Wide receiver Nat Moore sets Dolphin record (since broken) with 210 receiving yards (on seven catches) as Miami and New York Jets play to 28-28 tie. Two days later Egyptian president Anwar Sadat is assassinated by Islamic extremists during a military parade in Cairo. They said that jihad made them do it. The more things change the more they stay the same.
