What Is Fins Nation?
Fins Nation is a blog dedicated to bringing you the latest news, analysis & commentary on the Miami Dolphins. And then ripping them. Why? Because fuck them, that's why. How long have they been breaking our hearts with empty promises and false hopes while wasting the brilliant careers of men such as Dan Marino, Jason Taylor & Zach Thomas!!??
Okay. Okay. They are the Dolphins. And we love them. And we hate them. And we live for them. And die for them. Here you'll not only get daily news on the Fins (or, if you prefer, Phins. But here, we say Fins. Deal with it), but also commentary on what they're doing on and off the field with some in-depth analysis and opinion. Whatever the hell that might mean.
We welcome comments here. We welcome all kinds of opinions. As we like to say, “Opinions are like an old pair of sneakers, and gay cousins – everyone has at least one.” So opine away. Just remember these simple rules-of-thumb when commenting:
1. Don’t be a douchebag.
2. Don’t be a troll (this means you, cocksucker Patriots fan!)
3. Make an effort to be funny once in a while.
4. Try to be football savvy.
5. Hot girls who comment here get free shit
See? Simple. Follow these 5 rules-of-thumb and we won’t have to take you into the backroom and have your hand smashed with a hammer like that dude who tried to cheat Robert De Niro in the movie Casino. Remember that scene? That was awesome.
Who Is The Dude?
This blog is authored by Chris Joseph (aka The Dude). Chris Joseph writes for the Miami New Times, Riptide and MVN.com. He’s also written for Mondesishouse.com, and some of his crap has been featured on Deadspin.com. He also wrote for the now defunct FantasyFootballExaminer.com (not his fault it’s defunct). He is a life-long Dolphins fan. He has Dolphins curtains lining his office window. He has Dolphins paraphernalia filling his closet. He once turned down a date with a marginally hot girl because she had tickets to a show that was playing at the same time the Dolphins were facing the Jets. He drinks his coffee out of a Dolphins mug. He has a man-crush on Dan Marino.
So now that we've gotten the introductions out of the way, sit back, relax and enjoy the crazy.
And ... Let's Go Fins!!

Dedication:
This blog is lovingly dedicated to and inspired by my heroes, Dan Marino and Louis CK. Two guys who have nothing in common whatsoever except that they each warm my cockles with equal parts fondness and affection. Hey, some guys have Martin Luther King Jr. or JFK as their heroes. Pfft. Me? I have the guy who threw a football better than anyone else ever in the history of all things and a guy who tells dick jokes. We all have our standards.
