Title: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: CF DolFan on December 08, 2010, 09:23:54 am I had read where we we made an agreement with the Giants and were going to New York and practicing on Friday. They were giving us use of their practice facility and stadium. I don't ever do this but I went to a Jets message board to lurk and they are pissed thinking they will lose their cold advantage. The fans are wanting to declare war against the Giants.
I don't know if it will help but just the fact it upsets Jets fans cracks me up!! Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Jim Gray on December 08, 2010, 09:38:01 am I agree, anything that pisses off the Jets' fans is good in my book. Thanks NY Giants.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: jtex316 on December 08, 2010, 10:00:20 am The Dolphins definitely owe the Giants a favor somewhere down the line. First we beat the 18-0 Pats in the Super Bowl to save the '72 team, and now this.

Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 11:56:04 am Here is what I don't get.....
The Dolphins are flying up a day early to get ready for the weather...and then they are practicing in the Giants indoor practice facility. The weather inside the Giants indoor practice facility is very similar to Miami indoor practice facility. Around 65 degrees, dry with no wind. The Dolphins should be practicing OUTDOOR in the cold, like it will be on game day. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Phishfan on December 08, 2010, 12:43:47 pm ^^^ Where are you getting that? I haven't heard a thing about using an indoor facility.

Quote • The Dolphins will fly to New Jersey Friday morning and will practice at the Giants’ indoor practice facility later that afternoon. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: CF DolFan on December 08, 2010, 01:11:06 pm ^^^^ Who cares? If it causes the Jets fan to feel uncomfortable then it is all worth it.
Quote Are u fucking joking? Home field advantage is huge!! Even more so with cold bs warm weather teams. The dickhead giants just reduced our home field advantage, making it as easy as possible. This is beyond dick! This sentiment is hilarious to me!! Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 08, 2010, 01:17:37 pm Like most everyone is saying: pissing off Jets fans = fun!
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 01:19:50 pm ^^^^ Who cares? If it causes the Jets fan to feel uncomfortable then it is all worth it. No argument here. I love the fact that Jets fans are going nuts over it. But if I was the coach of the Dolphins and flying to NJ a day early, we would practice outside. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: CF DolFan on December 08, 2010, 01:23:52 pm Game time temperature should be about 50 degrees with a chance of rain. Certainly not as bad as it could be.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Phishfan on December 08, 2010, 01:58:52 pm http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2010/12/jets_coach_rex_ryan_draws_para.html I'd guess that is a reporting error, but it is just a guess. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Jim Gray on December 08, 2010, 02:49:23 pm I was just looking at the Gang Green forum to get a sense of how the Jets fans are feeling.
Wow.....talk about negative. You would think they were 3 - 9 instead of 9 - 3. I understand that was a nasty whipping they took on MNF, but the knee-jerk reaction is amazing. Some fans don't expect them to win another game. I believe the Jets are a bit overrated, but I still consider them among the best teams in the NFL. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Brian Fein on December 08, 2010, 02:52:47 pm not for anything but it was colder than that here this morning....
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Pappy13 on December 08, 2010, 03:00:34 pm The Dolphins are flying up a day early to get ready for the weather...and then they are practicing in the Giants indoor practice facility. I don't think they are flying in early to get used to the weather. Do you ever really get used to cold weather? I think flying in a day early has more to do with limiting distractions. Miami flew to Oakland a day early and I think Sparano thought it helped or maybe he's just superstitious and doesn't want to break the pattern. It's gives Sparano one more day to get them all into a hotel room and away from the South Florida nightlife for a night. I think that's the biggest thing.Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 03:01:02 pm I was just looking at the Gang Green forum to get a sense of how the Jets fans are feeling.

Some fans don't expect them to win another game. I believe the Jets are a bit overrated, but I still consider them among the best teams in the NFL. I think it is part of Jet history. '08 they were 8-3 and ended the season 9-7. They have done similar many times over the past 4 decades. Every Jets fan knows if there is one franchise in the NFL that could start the season 9-2 and then miss playoffs -- its the Jets. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 03:12:01 pm Do you ever really get used to cold weather? Absolutely. Just like you can get use to hot weather. That's why in Miami when it is 63 degrees in January and the natives are bundled up but the tourist who flew down from -3 degree weather are wearing shorts. The bodies are accumulated to different temps. Or in late Sept when the tourists are complain it is unbearably hot the natives are calling it a relieving cool spell. The coldest I have ever been was scraping ice off the car at the airport after returning from a week long vacation in Florida. My body had gotten use to 90 instead of zero. That was hardly the coldest night of the winter but it felt like it to me. Within a week my body was to normal and I was X-C skiing the following weekend. Tough to get accumulated to the cold in just two days. But I would try and do some of that. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: masterfins on December 08, 2010, 05:48:22 pm Do you ever really get used to cold weather? The Bills never would have been in four Super Bowls if they didn't have home field advantage in the playoffs. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 09:35:19 pm I really hope the Dolphins win and then the first thing he says in his post game presser is to thank Mara and the Giants for the use of the facilities and that he feels this contributed to the win.
I know several Jets fans whose heads would literally explode. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 08, 2010, 10:06:00 pm They are not going a day early to get acclimated to weather.
They are going up there a day early to to see a Broadway play. How special. Quote Dolphins owner Stephen Ross saw Mara at the premiere of the Broadway play "Lombardi" in late October and told him that he was thinking of taking his NFL team to the play before their game against the Jets. That's when he initially talked about using the Giants' facility. Ross formally asked the Giants about a month ago for use their indoor facility for a Saturday walkthrough. A week later, the Dolphins asked to use the field both late Friday for a practice and Saturday for a walkthrough. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/40574309 Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Spider-Dan on December 08, 2010, 11:25:19 pm The Bills never would have been in four Super Bowls if they didn't have home field advantage in the playoffs. They did win 2 playoff games on the road in 1993.Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: TonyB0D on December 10, 2010, 08:50:20 pm hey guys,
it's been 20 degrees here all week, all they have to do is shut the heat off. also, the place has huge windows and garage doors, just open those suckers up and it will be frosty in 5 minutes! Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 11, 2010, 07:57:12 am as someone mentioned they flew in early to see the Lombardi broadway play. Ross wanted the team to see that.
I mean the season is over, why not have a little fun. Let the guys see New York City during the HOLIDAY season. It is a site to behold. Let them see a broadway play. Good job by Ross for doing this. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 11, 2010, 01:11:57 pm They are promoting team unity. They are not giving up.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 11, 2010, 03:06:09 pm They are promoting team unity. They are not giving up. They gave up last week. That was obvious with that performance. They mailed the Cleveland game in. But the trip to NYC early and broadway. Just a nice owner giving his team a little something. I got no problem with that. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 11, 2010, 03:39:38 pm ^ That's your opinion only. Not mine.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 11, 2010, 03:49:53 pm NE practiced outside yesterday to get ready for the anticipated cold weather in Chicago. The Patriots have considerable more experience with cold weather games than the Dolphins. The Dolphins flew up a day early to prance around NYC and see a Broadway show. And with the rare opportunity to practice in the cold they passed. They are mailing it in.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 11, 2010, 03:55:16 pm ^ That's your opinion only. Not mine. The scoreboard and lazy play and lack of effort backs up my stance. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Frimp on December 12, 2010, 10:20:31 am Looks like the Giants will be able to come to the stadium to see us beat the Jets!
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on December 12, 2010, 10:44:15 am Looks like the Giants will be able to come to the stadium to see us beat the Jets! How? They are in KC. But if it turns out they are going to play MNF at the U Minn stadium. I think the favor the Giants is gonna want returned is some help packing up the outdoor gear to be sent to Minn. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 12, 2010, 11:42:29 am They are going to play that game on Monday in Detroit or New Orleans.
The Giants PR guy tweeted this morning something to the effect of (not exact quote)....hey maybe we can play in Miami. We sort of have working relationship with them. ha ha ha Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: bsfins on December 12, 2010, 11:50:48 am NFL network is saying Detroit, I'm a little surprised St. Louis is in the conversation
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Frimp on December 12, 2010, 01:41:26 pm They are going to play that game on Monday in Detroit or New Orleans. The Giants PR guy tweeted this morning something to the effect of (not exact quote)....hey maybe we can play in Miami. We sort of have working relationship with them. ha ha ha The fans would be used to it..seeing a team other than Miami win there. lol Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 12, 2010, 04:12:28 pm NFL network is saying Detroit, I'm a little surprised St. Louis is in the conversation They needed stadiums with FOX games were on Sunday where FOX camera crews were already set up and in place. That is why Indy wasn't a serious discussion and Detroit was chosen and in the running with other sites that were mentioned. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 12, 2010, 04:27:59 pm The Rams are on the road. There would not have been crews in place here.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 12, 2010, 04:32:41 pm The Rams are on the road. There would not have been crews in place here. and thats why they werent selected. It was between Detroit and New Orleans in the end. But Indy and St.Louis were mentioned as back-up plans because both were dome teams and the Giants had to play in a DOME because they didn't pack any cold weather gear or cleats. They were back up plans Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 12, 2010, 04:38:45 pm I was answering to B. Don't get so defensive.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: MikeO on December 12, 2010, 04:40:01 pm I was answering to B. Don't get so defensive. Not defensive. Just participating ::) Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: StL FinFan on December 12, 2010, 04:41:59 pm Trying to backpedal because you didn't know the Rams were on the road and won't admit it. I am done here before the thread gets locked.

I am done here before the thread gets locked. Here you go de-railing a thread again. Unreal. Simple, level headed conversation you had to go ruin. Grow up child. GROW UP! P.S...I never said the Rams were on the road. Learn to read! Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: Jim Gray on December 12, 2010, 07:37:13 pm I hope the Jets fans continue to overreact to the Giants letting Miami use their facilities. The win is great, but if the Jets think they were screwed out of it.......it's even sweeter.
Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: CF DolFan on December 13, 2010, 08:33:47 am I think I like this lurking on their board. I know it's bad but I do draw some amount of pleasure from their pain!
Quote Fans at the game -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There seemed to be a lot of Jets fans who came to the came WITH Dolphins fans. First off, fuck you. Second, to all season ticket holders who sold your season ticket's to today's game without knowing who the buyer was: 1. it's fan appreciation day. 2. what, are you afraid of rain/cold? 3. don't tell me it's the product on the field, because before these last two weeks, we were all flying high. 4. if you really need money to where you can't make sure it's a Jets fan you're selling/giving to, maybe you shouldn't own season tickets. 5. fuck you The fucking upper deck was crowded with Dolphins fans and they were fucking obnoxious and retarded. Not like, quiet Dolphins fans, or people who came to watch the game; belligerent drunk retarded disgusting Dolphins fans. People that make me sick, that make my blood boil. And people who sold/gave their tickets to them should be fucking ashamed. I did find it nice that most of them think the conditioning coach should be fired immediately. Title: Re: Dolphins to practice in New York on Friday thanks to Giants Post by: dolfan13 on December 13, 2010, 08:43:17 am that is pretty funny :)
