    Today, TDK turns 46...in this ****e hole called Afghanistan. I've been able to truly watch only 2 seasons of football back home since I retired from the Army in '05. I've been over here in the middle east pretty much non stop since '06. Now...today...as I sit in some little stronghold in the middle of Afghanistan...with no A/C...no real chow hall...no AFN to be able to watch any games, I have but one wish for my birthday today...

    Miami...will you PLEASE make today the day it all turns around as you did in '08, going from worst to first and shocking everyone? Please make me proud to be a Miami Dolfan once again...as I was during the 70's...as I was during the 80's...as I was during the 90's even though I was frustrated with coming up JUST THAT short.

    Tony Sparano, even Bill Belichik struggled his first time out as a head coach in Cleveland, but he pulled it together in New England. If you ARE the true head coach this team does indeed need...and it's just taken you THIS LONG to recover from the damage done to us under Dave Wannstadt, then let TODAY be the day you finally man up and let it all start clicking.

    Mr Ross, if it doesn't happen today...and all of the critics are right (as I'm finding myself becoming one now), then pull the trigger as Joe Robbie did in 1969 and find our next Don Shula.

    I'm a simple man who has very simple needs and desires...safe days in Afghanistan, clear skies to ride my Harley when I'm home, cold beer in the fridge, my loving wife in my arms and a winning Miami Dolphins team.

    I ask....am I asking for TOO much for my birthday???? :up:

    Happy birthday, brother. I have a strange feeling that you may get your wish. Football is like that; and I, at least, will be cheering the guys on so they do it for you. Thank you for serving, and keep in mind that not even Alexander did as well over there as we have so far, thanks to you guys.

    Hopefully. We seem to be the kind of team that wins games it should lose and loses games it should win. I was in Afghanistan a few years back, hopefully things are turning around there. Stay safe bro, hopefully the Phins grant your wish.

    A lot of things are simply out of our control; particularly for sports fans, but especially for Miami Dolphins fans the last 20 years or so.

    Hang in; you're not "old" by any definition, and you have good things in your life. Cherish them more. And stay safe.

    Oh, and...I hope you found a way to have a good birthday regardless.
