Porpoises galore

I gotta say, last weekends game against the Panthers was quite good. I'm hopeful that Frerotte will be much better than Fiedler but I still say the Dolphins should've drafted Brees when they had the chance. Sadly there is no game this weekend...sigh... Maybe that's a good thing--gives me a chance to catch up on work.

I just realized that my site is in Dolphins colors. hmmm, maybe that was done on a subconcious level. While I adore my 'Phins, I wasn't exactly thinking of them while I was planning the color scheme...or was I... Naturally I went with a different blue as, I hate to say it, but that aqua and orange is just...well...wrong. DH loves the Dolphins too and would probably sport one of their hats in support, yet since most of them have the signature colors he shies away from them. And he calls himself a fan. pssfffttt My dad bought me a pink Dolphins hat that my daughter has threatened to steal from me. He also got me the wonderful hoodie down below.

I guess I can't say much to my DH as half the time when I'm watching the games I don't recognize the names of the new players. He gets a tad annoyed when I say, "Who's that? I don't recognize him, is he new?" That is usually followed up by the roll of eyes, a sigh, and a "That's XYZ and he's been on the team for years. He's a second string," or some other such tidbit of info that there is no way I could 1.) possible know, 2.) if I did know remember, and 3.) regurgitate it as he does. I know my favorites, Taylor, Thomas, Minor, Chambers, McMichael, Madison, Mare, and Williams (which should be interesting to see how he does when he's finally let loose on the field), but the other guys just don't ring a bell unless I see them often, nor do I feel the need to make sure I know their names. That's not something women are good at. We remember dates, weights, locations, and how uncomfortable certain articles of clothing are, but not football player names and stats. Oh sure, there are the few women out there that have the capacity for all this extra stuff but I am not one of them. And I don't think I ever will be. I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for lunch yesterday (it was a Lean Cuisine meal, btw) and if I start cramming more info like rushing yards, touchdowns, and injuries, I'll blow up.

I do have to say that I was quite impressed with the newcomer, Ronnie Brown. He looks really good. The coaches have two seemingly awesome RB's on the team, as well as Minor. Maybe we'll get to the Playoffs this year?!! I never hold my breath during the season, though. I know better. I've been a loyal Dolphin fan since I was a kid and I understand that loving the Dolphins is loving them through good and bad times...which is more often than the former.

I gotta throw this in though...Frerotte looks a bit like a guy that would freak me out if I met him in a dark alley. I'm sure he's a normal, nice, upstanding guy but damn, his eyes creep me out. And that's how I tend to "judge"people--by their eyes. Not sure if it's the photographer in me or what, but I look at the eyes first whenever I meet people. I mean seriously...look at his eyes. He looks intense--and kinda like (damn I hate to say this too) Ted Bundy. Gus, I haven't decided if I "love" you yet (the season and your arm will determine that) but I gotta know...are you an intense kinda guy? You scare me and yet you're hot. Frightening.
