ROOK’S RECAP 6.0

“Now if six turned out to be nine
I don't mind, no baby i don't mind”
- Jimi Hendrix "If six was nine ", 1968

FINAL SCORE: BROWNS 41 DOLPHINS 31

The Lead Item:

Six. Nine.

When the late great Jimi Hendrix scribbled these lyrics down some 40 years ago, little did he know that six would in fact turn out to be nine; at least for the Dolphins anyway. For you see, they are now 0-6 on the season, tying a franchise record for the worst start to a season set back in 2004 (see Rook’s recap week 6, 2004)

But upon further review, if you look back to last season, the fins lost their last 3 games putting them 0 fer u guessed it…9….and that my rookaholics is the worst losing streak in team history.

But I don’t mind, baby I don’t mind, because let’s face it, this is the lowest of the low. We can now accept that this is the worst fins team ever assembled. They now have the record, no matter how many more they lose in a row, they are the WORST NOW!!!   

So it can’t get any worse. We’re at the bottom, and it hurts but I know it will never hurt like this again because there’s nowhere to go but up.

But we do have to face the rest of the season and there are some key things you are gonna need to get through this:

Rook’s Rest-of-season Survival Kit:

1. Crossed fingers – 2 chances to beat the pats and destroy their perfect season hopes….I think we can all agree that would be as good as a Superbowl win right about now.
2. “London Calling” CD from The Clash – Gonna be cool to see them overseas, like fish out of water if you will.
3. Mute Button – For Monday Night game vs The Steelers when the 3 stooges Kornholio, jerkjaws, and tir –geek-o talk about how bad our team is
4. TV schedules for Michigan and LSU – Michigan has OT Jake Long and LSU has DT Glenn Dorsey. The fins are on the clock and either of these two will fill a big hole.

Without this Kit you will end up looking like this:

With it you will look like this:

Cheers to:Cleo Lemon. Looked like that girl you knew when you were in junior high who looked kind of sketchy, but as you got older, she started gettin’ hot. By the time you graduated she was a full fledged babe!!! Let’s hope Cleo becomes a babe if ya know what I’m sayin’.

Jeers to:Courtney Bryan. Who is he ?!? He’s not even on the team roster in Madden 08 !

Dawg-O-Meter: The Dawg-0-meter is set at 0 for the rest of this season. Apparently the man responsible for reading the meter jumped off a bridge.

Ally’s All-star dolphin:  Ronnie Brown. 4 games in a row with over 100 yds rushing.

Bum(s) of the week:  Might as well go back to another from the game in Miami! Nice!

Melanie’s Quote of the week
