Tomorrow, I’m heading out to Miami with my dad for his Christmas present. We’re going to watch our beloved Dolphins play the Bengals in Dolphin Stadium on Sunday. Sure, Miami has lost all but one game this year, but we’re still fans.
Hopefully, we won’t be the only ones in the stadium. Hopefully, Miami will win the game. But even if those things don’t happen, we’ll get to spend some time hanging out, which we haven’t done in a long time.
Last night’s Monday Night Football game was probably one of the best football games I have ever seen, and I watch a lot of football.
If you missed it, even if you don’t like football, you should check out the highlights of the last minute here, or check out the highlights from the whole game here.
The Dolphins might have lost to the Bucs in preseason last Saturday night, but they executed an awesome trick play to score a touchdown. Watch the video.
I really like this article by ESPN writer Michael Smith about the character of Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith. It talks about how we should talk about them based on their character and accomplishments. Here’s a quote:
On Jan. 15, the nation celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We could honor his dream by celebrating Dungy’s and Smith’s achievements not because of the color of their skin, but the content of their character.
There’s a lot of talk about hoping for a day when black coaches in the Super Bowl won’t be a big deal, when we won’t find it necessary to refer to a coach as a “black coach” (or any person by their race, for that matter).
What’s wrong with that day being today? Dungy and Smith have made history, and we happily acknowledge it. As for our practice of categorizing NFL head coaches, let’s make that history, too.
When Dungy was the coach in Tampa, he made a difference in the community. In fact, he still does contribute to the Tampa Bay community, even though he isn’t the coach of the Bucs. Pretty much all of Florida is rooting for him. He is a class guy. A great example for fathers. And, he’s a good coach.
Whichever team wins this year’s SuperBowl has a good coach. They both deserve to win.
