SPORTS NOW "DOLPHINS PLAYOFF BOUND"

It was Sunday September 7th 12:55 PM, the Dolphins were minutes away from kicking off  the 2008 season. As my friends and I sat on the couch preparing to watch this game, a feeling of pride ran down my spine. After going through such a treacherous season last year, I knew that this year the Dolphins were a changed team. Bill Parcells as commander and chief, Chad Pennington leading the offense, and a young fast defense ready to take out anyone who dares to score in their end-zone. This team was ready to do some damage. As the CBS symbol aluminized my 70 inch plasma TV and the sports theme music blasted from my surround sound, I was prepared to see my beloved team hit the field against their rivals the New York Jets. As the game went on, the Dolphins just weren't playing to their highest potential. Here comes another dreadful season I thought.  The second game against the Arizona Cardinals went just as horrendous. Then came game three, against last years undefeated New England Patriots. Seemed like 0-3 was just 60 minutes away. As the game began, the Dolphins had a new look, a new feeling of pride, and a completely new offense, the WildCAT offense. Seems quite simple, hike the ball to your best offense player, Ronnie Brown, and let him do the damage. Surprisingly, the Patriots defense had no clue how to stop it. A huge smile covered my face, my Miami Dolphins were not only playing a phenomenal game, but doing it against one of the best football teams in the world and against possibly the best coach out there. When the game concluded the final score was 38-13. Now thats the football team I've grown to love. Two weeks later the played another one of the NFL's premiere teams, the San Diego Chargers. This game went very similar to the Patriots game, such a simple scheme was dominating the opponent. Once again the Dolphins came out victorious. Even though the next two weeks for my team didn't go so well, I still see a great future in store for them. Playoffs, maybe not so unlikely. With a struggling AFC east division they may actually have a chance this year. GO FINS!
