Hello everyone!! I've posted several times already, but I wanted to post a formal introduction. I was introduced to this site by njfinfan(very cool person) when we met and have been hanging out at a Miami sports bar together. Like many others here, I used to be on the "other" site. I used to go on there for many years, just from work. =). I used to work many hours. I worked on weekends and a lot of Sundays, unfortunately. When i couldn't go watch the games I would watch the live thing on NFL.com and constantly check back to the game day threads on the "other" site from work. I would also check that site constantly throughout the day. I started posting there a couple of years ago and was in the VIP section. When I came to this site and checked it out for the 1st time, I couldn't freakin' believe it!! You're all here!! I used to read all of your guys stuff there for many years. I didn't know what happened there just that you all kept dropping out like flies and it really bummed me out. I'm not going to start bashing that site...=), but to say it's not the same without you guys would be an understatement.(I could list all of your names, but you know who you are and who I'm referring to. It's practically all of you!) =). That says something about you guys and how amazing these guys can run a site. I've been a lifelong Phin fan..I'm totally psycho about my Phins. Anyway...I really love the site and will do my best to contribute in a positive way. Thank you all so much and keep up the good work!! A little personel Phin story: When I was in 3rd grade there were a few of us who were allowed to play on the 4th grade football team.(pop warner didn't actually start until 4th grade). Anyway...in 4th grade when we had our own team, I remember it was time for us to choose jersey #s and no one really new what # to take or what # was appropriate for what position etc. Since I watched football at an early age and was already a psycho Phin fan, I helped choose for them. I went around and gave practically the whole team Miami Dolphin players #s.(from the 70's due to the time it was) I gave our full back #39. I gave the QB #12. I was RB(also LB) so I took #22. etc. etc. etc. Those guys had those #s all the way throughout highschool. Our QB even made it to the pros as a 3rd string QB or something like that.(with #12) =). I have a pic. of our little league team somewhere in one of the thousands of old boxes I have in storage. If and when I find it, I will post it and you guys can check it out and see the #s. =) Anyway...You guys and this site rock!!! Thanks a lot!! Wooo!
HEY! It is good to see you again bro, I am glad you found your way back to us. Please make yourself at home, we have a good group here and you will fit in fine. If you were VIP over there, we will honor that here until your subscritption is up. I think our Club rocks.
Thanks a lot bro! You're one of the ones I've read for many years. I've seen your stuff so many times that I feel If I met you, you would look the Kuech. =D . njfinfan told me about The Club and I'm there(no badge). It is awesome! Thanks again!!
I really wish I could join y'all someday at Mikes. I would be a blast I'm sure. If you are keeping company with Mary, you are keeping good company! Again, glad you made your way over..good times are ahead.
Ha! You know about Mikes, cool. It would be great to see you there and yeah!, Mary is awesome! Thanks again!
Very very good to see you brother Sceeto. It is also good on this end to see our long lost brothers and sisters find there way here. Celtkin, Muck and many others have risen this from nothing into what it is, which IMO is the best darn site on the internet. Of course you will recognize ALL of the staff as they were all at "The other site". Funny your story of the Pop Warner, as I have a VERY similar story..and its all in a thread in here somewhere. I will have to find it and link it to you. Do me a personal favor and keep a brotherly eye on that Miss Mary. Can't have anything happen to our first lady az
Welcome aboard. No need to bash other sites. That's not what we're about. Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy.
Thanks a lot bro!...and don't worry about Mary, she'll be fine on my watch. =) The secret service can't match me when it comes to protecting our Miami Dolphin first lady. =) Yeah! If you find that thread with your story, send it to me. That's funny. Again, Thanks!
Here you go bro, the entire thread. Good reading in here and always space for another post http://forums.thephins.com/club-level/18570-earliest-dolphin-memories.html
Folks eventually find us and when they do they are welcomed and find a home here. You are welcome here bro. I validated your VIP membership which we are honoring through its term or March 21,2009 which ever date comes first . The club badges are given to those who have subscribed to ThePhins.com
Me to Marty. I'd love to meet both you and Mary. I feel like we would have a good time together. And I'd love to see Mikes place. Welcome, you'll love this place. We have the best admins and mods, bar none!
Ditto that. Mary's one of the best friends I have. And very special to me. Hey sceeto, give her a hug for me. And tell her I'm thinking about her on Sunday.
Hi Deb, Scott and I are meeting our friend Renee at her house on Sunday to watch the game. She has directv and she's cooking for us. Always a plus (homemade food that is). But he does take very good care of me at the Sports Zone - sits right next to me and makes sure I don't get too excited.
Thanks! That would be great to see you there and yes, I'm sure we'd all have an awesome time together and I do love it here and I agree about the mods and admins. Thanks again!
