My Favorite NFL Team: The Miami Dolphins



            Since I’ve been a Miami Dolphins fan, it’s been a struggle. We have had 2 or 3 competitive seasons where we were legitimate contenders, but besides that the Dolphins have been bottom of the barrel. This season has been pretty bad too, considering that we lost our star WR Tyreek Hill to a nasty knee injury early in the season and we have a record of 3 wins and 7 losses through 10 weeks in the season. In addition to that we traded one of our best defensive players, Jalen Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles. On the positive side of things, we just beat the Buffalo Bills, who are our division rivals and have been one of the best teams in the NFL for 5 or 6 years in a row.

            I want to talk about the history of the Dolphins franchise next. Few franchises in the NFL carry the history, flair, and resilience of the Miami Dolphins. Founded in 1966, the Dolphins became a symbol of excellence in the 1970s, most famously completing the NFL’s only perfect season in 1972 under legendary coach Don Shula. That 17-0 record remains one of the most iconic achievements in all of professional sports, a golden standard that still defines the franchise’s legacy.

Fast forward to today, and the Dolphins remain somewhat competitive even with the unfortunate season so far this year. Led by head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins have built one of the league’s most explosive offenses. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, when healthy, has proven to be a precise passer capable of leading a dynamic attack. His chemistry with wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle creates constant headaches for opposing defenses. Hill’s record-breaking speed and Waddle’s slippery route-running make Miami’s passing game one of the most thrilling spectacles in football.

But it’s not just about flash, the Dolphins have also been building strength in the trenches. Their offensive line continues to develop, and the defense, anchored by stars like Bradley Chubb, brings physicality and confidence to the field. The result? A well-balanced team that can compete with anyone on any given Sunday.

            Although the Dolphins are having a down year, I’ll always stand beside my team. I’m very passionate about football and the team I root for and that will never change. As a Cowboys fan would say, next year is our year!

    Down years as a fan always suck. Being a Denver fan the over the past few years has been rough but we have had a great year so far. Maybe the Dolphins are next!

Back to School...

     Coming back to school was always a thrill for me growing up. Seeing all of my friends and classmates again, football right around the corner and the Fall season coming up too. Some of my favorite things all in a short time span. This year is different, because I’m going into my senior year of college, meaning I’ll be moving forward with my professional career after this school year. It kind of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth just thinking about it because I am definitely excited about pursuing my dream career, but I know I’ll forever miss the memories and friends I made at ONU. Joining a fraternity, the powerlifting club, playing intramural sports and partaking fun events across campus are some of my favorite memories. While I may be headed out the door, I know there are plenty of freshman who will be coming in. That being said, if I had to give them advice it would be this. First off and most importantly, don’t hesitate to meet friends. One of the best parts about...
