u200bI know your story. You are like many other South Floridians who watched the Miami Dolphins teams excel in the 1970’s and then watched in amazement during the Dan Marino decade. You stuck with the team through multiple quarterback changes and coaching changes and GM changes.
But then, one losing season turned into multiple losing seasons and as the seasons came and went, you watched less games (although you always kept up with the team wins and losses) hoping that eventually the Dolphins would turn things around. You joined in the excitement of the 2016 playoff berth, but fell deeper in Dolphins depression after the following year was another lost season.
