When you wish upon a star

I remember I had just finished a great day at Disney World when I suddenly received text messages saying that the Miami Dolphins had beaten the New York Jets. To my amazement, I screamed so loud that other Dolphins fans also began spreading the good news of a victory.

This was our last win in the regular season. 

This was December 12th, 2010.



Now staring at an 0-5 record, the Dolphins are coveting a player, whom by the very definition of the word itself, holds no significance to this organization: Luck. 







Ah yes, Luck. The very explanation of what sent Jim Harbaugh to the San Francisco 49ers after the Dolphins so desperately sought after him in the offseason. Harbaugh is 5-1, and well we know our record. 

Luck, the same word that explains why Miami would not try to sign running back Ahmad Bradshaw of the New York Giants, who performed rather well this week scoring 3 touchdowns versus the Buffalo Bills. That's 5 rushing touchdowns this year for Bradshaw. Miami has 2 rushing touchdowns all season, one by Lex Hilliard and the other by Chad Henne. 


Luck, the same word that saved Tony Sparano from keeping his job after going 1-7 at home last season. The same word that explains how he will keep his job at the end of the season.




It is strikingly odd how a franchise who has made some of the worst front office decisions in all of sports, is seeking the one thing it knows absolutely nothing about: LUCK.




FOR THE LAST DECADE, MIAMI DOLPHINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING BROTHER?!
