A lifelong New York Knicks fan, Evan Perlmutter, put his fan allegiance for sale on eBay this week. For a winning bid of $3,450, the 33-year-old gentleman says he now roots for the Los Angeles Lakers.
I mention this as a public service for any Miami Dolphins fans out there who may be both cash-strapped and at a breaking point with frustration over their team.
The Knicks last won an NBA championship in 1972-73 and have mostly been mired in shades of irrelevant mediocrity since the dawn of the 21st Century. Sound familiar, Dolfans?
While Miami Hurricanes fans overflow with hopefulness on the college side, Dolphins fans are searching for some of that with off a 6-10 season and with their team 0-3 this preseason entering Thursday night’s fake-game finale in Atlanta, a mostly sit-the-starters affair designed to settle fringe roster spots.
