How I found TDMMC: I was reminiscing about bad Dolphins drafts with my buddy Carlos (That's Thundergod to you) when the name "Yatil Green" came up.  Carlos and I wondered whether Yatil had ever even caught an NFL regular season pass.  I Googled the star-crossed receiver, and his "Ring of Dishonor" story came up front and center.

About Me:  My favorite teams are the Dolphins, Heat / Spurs (I'm not originally a Miamian, and I've loved the Spurs since I became a hoops fan in 1989), Cardinals / Marlins (see above, have loved the Cards since 1982), and Miami Hurricanes. I've lived in 6 countries and speak 3 languages fluently.  I love playing sports (contact sports only while my knees don't suck; I'll learn golf later), movies, reading and, apparently, obsessing over the Dolphins.  I live in unincorporated-Dade-soon-to-be-annexed-into-Coral-Gables.

How did I find thedolphinsmakemecry.com?:
I've been friends with Dave Gray for a few years now. I've lurked here before and read some of the stuff you guys have been posting for a couple months and find it amusing.  I'm not a football fan at all and always decided the site was not for me.  I don't know why, but I gave in and signed up today. 

Short Personal Summary:
I currently live in Boca Raton, FL and have just purchased a home in Lake Worth, FL.  I work in Fort Lauderale at a privatley held ISP named Affinity and work as a Project Manager for our Engineering department.  I have a beautiful girlfriend named Jessica who is currently knitting a sweater somewhere most likely.

Been here for just over a year after finding this place while randomly looking for a UK Dolphins fansite.

Been a dolphin fan since the late 80's when my Dad used to watch it, in those days in the UK you were either a 49er or a dolphin but luckilly I made the right decision (Sorry 'Stroke ;))  Left Football for a while but got back into it 2 years ago just in time for "that season".

So a little about me, I'm a graduate engineer, I work in Bristol, I play football for the Bristol Aztecs www.aztecs.co.uk (http://www.aztecs.co.uk) I'm a corner back in case you're interested :)  I'm rather disappointingly single, but that will probably make more sense if you see a photo of me  ::)

As I can't work out how to put a photo anywhere, I'll have to avoid that for now :)

when you post a reply, click on the "Additional Options" link and it'll let you attach a picture.

Cheers Brian, it's not a very good photo if i find a better one I'll update it :)

Question....... You say you play football for the Bristol Aztecs.  Is that soccer (futbol), or American football?

He said he's a cornerback. (Not to mention he's told us many times in posts that he plays American football). Plus the fact that if you click his link, you see guys in football helmets!

Yeah its the proper type of football, your version not soccer :)

The sport isn't very developed over here, but its pretty fun to play :)

I must've missed that the first time.  My bad  ;)

Matt Nieman AKA Niemo   (mnieman215@aol,com)             count me!!!!

Ok I'm here I don't have a job I'm probally the youngest one the site....
I mess around with computers and play video games. Don't judge me because I'm younger. I know about the world JUST as well. Maybe better.
I act weird because I have an issue(Thats as much as I say)
Oh and I got here because I kinda know the owner(pretty well).

Oh yeah, I'm not too well versed in the dolphins, but try to teach me the ways.

Real 1st name: Patrick

Residence: Texas

I have been a Dolphin fan since the days of Warfield, Griese, and Csonka.  I'm a Texan by way of Ohio and Kentucky.  I have attended many games and watch the rest on NFL Sunday Ticket.  I'd like to see one in Miami, but my money only goes so far.  I had outstanding tickets to the Saints game last year, but Katrina changed my plans.  One (of many) odd things about me is that the Dolphins lost both of my favorite games--to the Chargers in the Kellen Winslow game and to the Jets 51-45 in overtime. 

We definitely need to add Don Reese and Randy Crowder to the Ring of Dishonor.  I also recommend Dave Wanstedt, Chris Spielman, Sammie Smith, and Cecil Collins.  It's been over 30 years since I've seen the Dolphins win a Super Bowl.  This means they've been making me cry (not literally) for the vast majority of my life.   

Hahahaha. I totally agree.

Since I know Niemo well, I'll fill in some of the blanks.

We were friends in college at Ohio State University. Before then, he was a Navy man. He moved to South Florida to work with Dave and I about two years ago. He recently became an assitant manager at Enterprise.

He's a Bengals fan at heart, but fast becoming endeared to the Dolphins. He played a pivotal role in the creation of the Dolphins corn hole goals that can be seen in the "crazy scar, househead corn hole / beach footage" video in the Off Topic board. He's in the video too I believe... not sure if I say his name though.

How I found TDMMC: Stumbled across it looking for Dolphins info.

About Me: I was born & raised in Valdese, NC. Also the Drexel, NC area. Moved to Cherryville, NC in 1979, & lived there most of my life. Moved to Shelby, NC in 2003. I am married & have 3 kids. 1 girl & 2 boys. Used to work in the Dyehouse Dept. running Dye Jets & measuring the chemicals & dyes. On May 29, 2002, I had a work-related accident & fell into 1 of the open-air dye vats burning 80% of my body. Stayed at Winston-Salem, NC Burn Unit for 3 months from May-Aug. 2002. Dad died July 13, 2002 of massive heart attack while I was in hospital. I am disabled, have constant leg & feet problems & can barely walk.
      Have been a die-hard Dolphins fan since I was 12 (1980), & did have most Dolphins games on VHS. Lost some of them due to a Workman's- Comp issue when my checks were not sent on time & my trailer became padlocked. Looking to rebuild ASAP. I do still have some games, not all. I love football, NASCAR, get into baseball & basketball at playoff time. Love the UNC Tarheels, classic rock music- I am a HUGE Beatles fan!! Also, I love good food!!
     I consider myself lucky to be here after all I have been thru. Not many people are going to burn 80% of their bodies & live to tell about it. I guess that's a big reason why I am so full of sentiment & nostalgia now. I appreciate & cherish my youth a lot more now. The Lord did keep me here for a reason. Maybe it's to spread His Word & let people know what He can do if you just believe. Because I've lived it & seen it & I am very thankful.

Thank You,
DanDaMan13

Perhaps overdue, but it's never too late...

Born and raised in Ohio, but I have been lucky enough to see the Dolphins play up here, and they didn't score...   not even a field goal...  but i'm now 21 years old and am a junior at Mount Union College in Alliance, OH.  It's a good school with a great football tradition and it seems like it's a good match, it's worked out thus far anyway. 

I've lived for the dolphins since the impressionable age of 7 when Dan Marino "responded" to one of my letters with an "autographed" picture.  like i said, impressionable age.  In fact, I'm actually looking for a marketing position in the Miami area following graduation, and I've got a few leads.  Maybe I'll eventually pick up one of those fabled "The Dolphins Make Me Cry" orange t-shirts if I make it down there. 

Some of my most prominent memories are of the Dolphins and their struggles (Marino's achilles tear, losing to the Chargers in AFC Championship...) so I figured this might be a good site to pay attention to.  Anyway, that's what I've got, and if you're wondering about the picture, purple is our school color and we made those suits for the national title game last fall...

how i found tdmmc: i think through google. i was looking for a dolphin forum since i live in new york and don't have any dolphin friends, found this one first. then i found dolphinblog, etc., later.

live now: live in new york, for past eight years. i was at a bar in gramercy when those damn jets pulled off that mnf victory with testaverde at the helm. damn those jets. ha. they suck now.

grew up: we moved to miami when i was less than a year old. i grew up in kendall, at the crossings (don carter kendall lanes anybody?). went to public school all my life.

occupation: i work at an advertising and design firm. you know, logos, ad campaigns, blah blah

best live dolphin game: dolphins beat the colts in playoffs OT with the rb going into the end zone. i went with my sister. we went nuts.

also, dolphins beat steelers to go to super bowl, in 83? i barely remember it. i do remember i made a poster, though.

worst: dolphins get shelacked by raiders on mnf, with bo jackson and marcus allen kicking our butts.

worst fear: the dolphins never winning the sb in my lifetime

p.s. this site is awesome. i love the dolphins. they've gotten me through some rough times.

How I found TDMMC: Through one of my best friends Dave Gray

I was born in Boca Raton, FL.  Currently live in Delray.  I was one of the originals to join TDMMC and would actually hang out at Dave's Moms house back in the day and watch him create this website.  I am a student at PBCC and only 9 credits away from my Associates Degree.  From there I plan to attend FAU to pursue a Computer Science Degree and hope to become a programmer.  Music is my first love and have been playing the guitar/bass guitar for about 9 years now.  Dave and I used to jam all the time and used to have a band called Acetone playing mostly Nirvana/Skynyrd/Deftones covers.

I was bred to love the Fins.  Growing up my father was a season ticket holder in the good old days of Duper and Clayton; he would take me to numerous games when the Fins played at the Orange Bowl.  Unfortunately, my Father passed away when I was 9 years old, but I know he would be excited about our team this year.  I am a huge Miami Heat Fan as well.  Hockey's cool and extremely fun to see live.  Not a big fan of Baseball, but do have an extensive baseball card collection.  Most of all...I am Dave and the crew's biggest fan for making the coolest Miami Dolphin site on the net.  Thanks guys!!

Playing the bass with my former band rehabitual.

Fellow Dolfans:

I found this site by search engine. I think that the Hall Of Shame is hilarious! If I had to put my vote in, I would vote for someone out of another era...the Dolphins first coach, George Wilson! I think he beats Wannstedt by a hair!

I live in Denver, Colorado but I grew up 2 miles from the Orange Bowl. I remember the Dolphins when they started becoming a powerhouse around 1970.

It's simple. I'm a Dolfan until the day I die! To me, it's the essence of Miami! If it wasn't for the excellence of the Dolphins, we probably wouldn't have the Heat. Marlins or Panthers. Don Shula began the winning legacy and thats why he'll always be the "Coach" in my book!

I'm glad that B-Ball season is over and I can't wait for training camp to start! I think that Miami is going at least to the AFC Championship Game. We're overdue! I think Ronnie Brown is the next great running back in the NFL.

I miss the "old" Miami. The Orange Bowl shaking, the innocence of the beaches, The zoo when it was on Key Biscanye, etc. Love Nick Saban! Think he's the second coming of Shula and just what the organization needed after the Jimmy-Dave regime.

 Anyway, it's a new era and the Dolphins are number 1! Go Dolphins!



The Tradition Continues!!!

Welcome to the boards, ethurst.  Hope to see you around in other threads for a long time.  Glad to have another die-hard on board!

I'm a student in college.  I love the game of football.  I played it, coached it, and follow it religiously.

I am also crazy about women, partying, and having a good time.

I have been a diehard fish fan ever since I started following the NFL and will always be one.  Point blank.

Anyway, can somebody give me more information on what happened to the site?  I was able to register OK

Will the posts from this year be recovered?  I hope so,  I like going through and reading all the post game reactions from this season and seasons past.

I hope we don't lose this site.  I like this community

Relax dude. The site crashed and they are working on fixing everything. Stop being so hung up on post counts and how many post game shame of the game threads you started.
