Rooks Recap 2007

ROOK’S RECAP 4.0


I’m Taking my chances,
Letting down my defences
- Crush

 

FINAL SCORE: RAIDERS 35 DOLPHINS 17

The Lead Item:

Terrible. Defence

Wow!! How the mighty have fallen. I remember listening to all the pundits saying the Dolphin D is getting old and may soon break. I shrugged it off of course because we all know that the Dolphin D is solid right!...right? WRONG. The sheddawgs were actually at the game, or was it raider practice on Sunday. 299 yards rushing on the ground. 176 yards from the backup running back. 3 rushing TD’s for Daunte Culpepper. All those numbers amount to one thing: The Dolphin defence is worse than the Dolphin offence, and that’s saying something. We need Zach baddddd…..


Cheers to: Miami Dolphins cheerleaders for A) wearing white and B) continuing to do their thing in the pouring rain..”That does not Suck”

Jeers to: Jason Taylor. What’s going on man! Stupid penalties and missed tackles.

Dawg-O-Meter: Gotta crank it up a bit since we were there. Lets give it a 7.

Ally’s All-star dolphin:  Ronnie Brown. Again this week. He ran over a guy!!!!  It was awesome.

Bum of the week:  Already jeered JT so lets go with Trent Green…brutal QB.

Melanie’s Quote of the week

This one comes from a disgruntled season-ticket holder sitting close to myself and Sheddawg Aaron. As he leaves during the 3rd quarter he turns to another season-ticket holder and says:

In all my years coming here, this is the worst I’ve seen.”

THE GAME OUTSIDE THE GAME ( Special FANDANGO 2007 Edition)

I really don’t know where to begin recapping the weekend that was Fandango 07. So I think I will just throw out some observations of what I saw and what went down.

10 things you need to know about FANDANGO 07

10) The beaches are even better in person than they are on TV. The water is so friggin warm compared to our waters.

9) You can get 18 beer for $11.99 at the grocery store. Trust me when I say we took full advantage of that deal day in and day out. Plus, the beer boxes had Dolphin team helmets on them. Classy!!!

8) Driving down Ocean Drive was like actually playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for PLaystation, or watching Miami Vice, CSI: Miami, or Scarface….Insane!!!!

7) MANGOS MANGOS MANGOS

6) The hardcore American in the pool in South Beach who drank our Iceberg Vodka. We gave him a stiff one and what did he do? Held his glass in the air, splashed in right down in the chlorine water to get some mix, and continued to drink…..What is that? A double Vodka and Pool Water. OR a crazy Californian….u decide!

5) I gotta say touring Dolphin Stadium was amazing. We got to go down on the field, we toured the Locker Room, we saw all the jerseys hanging in the lockers. We got to see some renovations to the building. Did you know Dolphin Stadium has over 2700 TV Screens. And you know what, every Sunday in 07-08, the Dolphins will suck on every one of em.

4) The Hall of Legends. We saw Dan Marino’s encased locker from his last ever game. Complete with shaving gel and underarm deodarent. Right Guard on both if you were wondering.

3) Papa John’s Pizza. Man! That stuff is like crack.

2) Dr. Martin Luther King Drive. Somehow we managed to find ourselves on this street more than others. There are over 650 streets named after Martin Luther King in the US and the one in Miami is pretty shady. To quote the great comedian Chris Rock “If you find yourself on Martin Luther King, Run!!!!!!”

1) The 2Michelles. nuff said!

Fandango-ism’s 07: Quotes or words often said by the dawgs during the trip.

“That does not Suck”
“All the time at it”
“Yase”
“At the Dollhouse in Fort Lauderdale”

Rook’s Unforgettable Fandango Moment: 10 Guys in a van driving down some unknown street, totally lost, singing “very Rose Has It’s Thorn” by Poison for no apparent reason. It wasn’t on the radio, we hadn’t heard it all weekend, but we just sang it LOUD!
