Unbeaten but not fully legitimate. I'll take it.

I'm from Miami and my dad bought Dolphins season tickets for the family beginning in 1972. I attended every game that season, still remember almost every detail, and absolutely cherish it. Yes, I root for the final unbeaten to fall. It is the highlight of every season.

While I'm still a Dolphins fan it isn't remotely the same as those years. I felt insulted by the Marino era and the pantyhose passing reliance. Then they abandoned the wondrous Orange Bowl for a sterile dump in an irrelevant location. I despise that stadium and always will, no matter how many laughable patches they apply. The most recent slap was changing to the motion sickness logo a few years ago. Nobody slants the mascot in the opposite direction as the natural curvature of the helmet, so it didn't surprise me that Mike Dee and Steven Ross were dense enough to try it. There is no chance I would ever buy or own a piece of Dolphins merchandise with that motion sickness logo.

Until recently I attended one Dolphins game per year, if a ticket became available for 25 bucks or thereabouts. Otherwise it's not worth it.

I was rooting for Hurricane Irma to leave everybody and everything else alone, but rubble that stadium completely.
