Roger Goodell is the man, and we are thankful for his support and
vision.
Regarding the stadium renovations with respect to the Dolphins, he
wisely observes: “We want to see them stay in a facility that will
allow them to compete, and to bring in other big events, including
Super Bowls,”
I couldn't agree more, especially about the being allowed to compete
part!
Remember the dingy, leaky, stinky Orange Bowl? That cesspool sure
kept us down. We were only 60-10-1 vs AFCE opponents there during
Shula's reign. Miami went 15-0 against New England there, and Buffalo
didn't beat us for a decade. Things sure got more competitive when
the team moved north to JRS, where they've managed a sparking 216-199
record (98-109 in the 13 years post-Marino). I'm not sure, as I don't
know the numbers (Stu?), but it sure seems like the 'Canes have been
awfully competitive in newer digs as well...
Unshackle the Dolphins, you cheap Miami/Dade pricks! They'll shower
you with even more competitiveness and fabulous Super Bowls (as
observers) every six years in recognition of your financial support.
Billionaires need love too!

longest home winning streak in NCAA history... 58 straight games at
the Orange Bowl (October 1985 to September 1994)... hasn't exactly
been in any jeopardy.

especially on Monday nights - there was a certain magic about the place with
the open end zone, palm trees and the old "Poly Turf" sign on the
scoreboard!

field. It also includes the ability to generate enough revenue to
purchase talent...which helps you to be competitive.
And a young Shula would have won ballgames in a parking lot or in a
billion dollar stadium. As Bum Phillips once said, "He can take his'n
and beat your'n, then he can take your'n and beat his'n."
If they did build a new stadium, or renevate the old one considerably,
and then started winning championships, I wouldn't attribute any of
those championships to the building. That would be a considerable
disservice to the efforts put out by those champions to imply that the
field did their winning for them. Blood and sweat adds to greatness,
not hot dog sales and expensive parking.
