Thanksgiving Football

I ate so much food today after being horribly sick for the last few days. I had food poisoning and didn’t really eat anything for 24 hours. Today I stuffed myself completely and sat down on the couch to watch three straight football games with my family.  My dad’s Cowboys lost and now I am busy rooting against the Jets. It’s good that I can still enjoy football despite the fact that the Miami Dolphins are fucking ruined. The team is so hurt and they lost to the damn Bears last Thursday. They are now 5 and 5 and have pretty much no shot at the playoffs.  That being said last Thursday wasn’t all horrible.

Dolfans NYC threw a big party for the Thursday night game and we had a HUGE crowd out.  We were doing it as a fundraiser for the Miami Dolphins Foundation and we raised over $500 for the charity. It was a lot of fun… at least until the game started and we found out the Dolphins offense was so badly wounded that they couldn’t score a single point.  It was disastrous… but the week got better…

My Dolfans NYC partner Michelle used our weekend off to take a coworkers offer to sneak us into a taping of CBS NFL halftime show where we got a chance to meet Dan Marino.  Dan Marino is pretty much my fucking hero.  When I was 8 I made a Dan Marino puppet for a school project. When I was 20 I went to Miami to see the Dolphins retire his number. When I was 27 I got his number tattooed to my arm.  I shoot a lot of celebrities doing this website and other than Bill Murray I never get very excited about it. But meeting Dan Marino was pretty intense.  I got to talk to him for a second, shake his hand and take some photos with him.  I even asked for an autograph. You guys would have thought it was really cute.

Anyway, the Bengals are driving on the Jets and I gotta go hang out with my family so I am going to go but you can click here to see the photos from the Dolfans NYC fundraiser at Third & Long.  And then check below for the bonus pics of me and Daniel Constantine Marino Jr, the greatest quarterback to ever play the game.

Happy Thanksgiving.
