Welcome—Aurora Novae Dies…

Welcome friends to the dawn of a new day, a new beginning, a fresh start for friends and fellow Dolphin fans to meet, converse and enjoy all things Dolphins.

If you have any difficulty logging in please e-mail the site address:

finsmob.unleashed@gmail.com

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment this new blog has succeeded in is eliminating the need for a character to have a space between paragraphs. It’s the small things that really matter most in the end.

Draft season is here. We will breakdown just about everybody (except the guys we usually draft) project picks, campaign for players, campaign against players.

Free Agency will open soon to give us a better indication of where the Dolphins may go. Do you we spend BIG? Do you we take a more conservative approach? Let’s all figure it together.

We want you to consider this blog, as related to Sun Life Stadium, the newly renovated blog, the blog with the gigantic umbrella if you will.

 

sunlife2

This site, my friends, was built by a team of willing and contributing people who like you simply love to chat about our beloved Dolphins.

Welcome and enjoy!

    Great Post Son
    way to welcome people in

  6. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I just realized the archives have hear and month now
    That is really cool

    So if I post an old Oddyssey it won’t appear above this post will it?

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      Heh that’s me meddling in the background. I’m changing the dates on the ones you already added to their original posting date. When adding any new ones, just click on the ‘edit’ link next to the ‘Publish Immediately’ item in the upper right hand corner. Change the publish date to the original date it was published), then it should show up in the archives (and on the main posting page) in the proper chronological order (yes, it won’t show up above any new current posts).

    The picture at the top as well as the pic in the story aren’t showing up for me is it just me?

    Mad props to all who made this site happen

  9. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    On a football note I have no desire to watch this year’s SB

  10. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Ken, I just want to see Kam Chancellor break patriots

  11. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I’d like to see Richard Sherman with 2 broken arms and a broken mouth.

  12. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    I hate the Pats, I hate Carroll, I hate Brady and I hate Sherman. I hate this game.

  13. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Speaking of Carroll, maybe he gets hit with a poorly thrown football in the neck and has his hands on his throat for a REAL choke!

  14. twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

    This year’s SB is like the guy who got his arm pinned by the boulder in the desert when hiking solo.

    A no-win situation, just the lesser of two evils.

  15. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Just put on my sunglasses…….this site bursts on to you. It’s beautiful.

  16. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    OK, I’ll catch ya later. Stanger’s here . . . .. . LOL

    Closing up the office, I’ll be back on later. 🙂

  17. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    The NFL are investigating whether the Patriots played the AFC Championship with a properly inflated Vince Wilfork

  18. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    This made me laugh

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      LOL. Just happen the whole incident happened right before the two-week hype with no football before the Bowl. True or not, deflategate is here to stay.

  19. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    LMAO @ Herd’s trophy

  20. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Latest sign that I’m OD jr. — had to search to find out what Pinterest is.

  21. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Going to turn in early but awesome job in getting this place up & running. See everyone tomorrow & peace to you all.

  22. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Know this place still in progress s great as it already is, but would love to have the equivalent of a link to “About this place” down the road. Would be nice to have some kinda of statement and history for new people who come on to explain this isn’t just a Phins blog but a family. Imagine what you would think if you wandered into some political or music discussion when you thought your were coming to a football blog? Also realize there are thirty things above that on the to do list.

  23. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    I cannot tell you all how happy I am to see you, and to be here with you, as it were. I am so glad to see people I have missed speaking with for than a week. Thank you for inviting me- I feel like I am- whole again.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Good to see ya bud! Pleasure to have us all together again. If you see anything you don’t like, or something you would like us to change, let it rip! We want your opinions, so don’t hold back. I’m sure you’ve already noticed you can post pictures on the blog, instead of the link.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        Looking forward to this again!

      • TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

        Now that you mention it.. yes. I liked Herd’s trophy.. clever. Since I am more or less stupid when it comes to blogging, is there a way to put a ‘button’ at the bottom of the page that will allow you to reload the page? That would be really helpful to those who use touch screen devices to view the page.

      • herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

        We can certainly check on it. It’s beyond my capability, but Twicethethe has done a great job with this, if anyone can figure that out, he can.

    • herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

      Good to see you Try Pod

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      What up Try……good to see ya!

  24. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Hello All: Nice job.. i will take a gander around now… on a side note, just cause i’m me.. if you do decide to keep :Pinterest should it not be “Phinterest ” .. just a thought.. Thanx for the invite, looks like ya did a great job people..

  25. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Does the page “Auto refresh ” ??

  26. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Welcome Try Pod good to see you.

    Stanger that’s a good idea and I like the approach that its a little bit more than just another Dolphin blog.

  28. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    Hello Mike, Herd, Son, Stanger, and anyone else I may have missed.

  29. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Hey Manitoba glad you made it

    • manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

      Thank you sir, you did a great job.. i Love how vivid the Avi’s are.. how does one post a pic ?? and can i post pics from my computer library ??

  30. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    Speaking of clever, at the top right of the page-
    “F ME? No, FU!”
    I am amongst genius.

  31. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Hey Manitoba! Good to see ya man!

  32. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Minitoba the pics post with a link not photos from your drive. If you right click on a pic online use “copy image url” and post the link in the comment box the pic shows up instead of the link.

  33. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Sniff sniff, Hmmm, doesn’t have that new car smell, but nice shiny new paint job.
    The old car is leaking oil and smoking, sounds like it’s gonna blow up.

  34. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Try – The F ME at the top is one of my favorite things. That’s Herd’s baby right there. Love it! 😈

  35. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I’ll be back a bit later, going to hang with my wife for a while

  36. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Welcome GDP glad you could make it, the waitress should be by momentarily with champagne.

  37. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Okay i totally read that as ” Try The F ME at the top” , i clicked on like 8 times, and nothing happened.. 😦

  38. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Welcome GDP, Trypod and Manitoba

    I have to defer to Herd and TwiceTheThe on that. They did all the work, I’m just along for the ride.
    :
    Well Great looking Bright place , Well Done and Kudos to Herd an Twice !!

  41. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Good to see you too Trypod

    Hey ?! Do i get credit for the first profanity ??

    Yes congratulations you’ll be receiving your prize in the mail

  45. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Not sure if you guys are aware but we are keeping this place secret for about another week
    So keep it on the DL
    We are still kind of under construction

  46. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

  47. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    I think it only appropriate that this new site get a new avatar. It’s just a picture of a traffic sign in Ireland, but it’s unique enough for now.

  48. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Manitoba
    There is a pig here
    I doubt you are the first to use profanity

  49. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Thanks for the invite….even Old Dolfan will be able to read this size font. 😉

  50. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    And don’t worry
    Everyone will know soon

  51. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    If you hover over someone’s avi you can click on it and a larger image will appear and you can actually tell what some of these avi’s are.

  52. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Son: You said… use “copy image url” .. closest i get to that option is “copy image” or “copy image location”.. am i just illiterate ? or just bad luck picking pics ?

  53. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Yeah OD will like it.
    We’re hoping to archive Absolute Perfection once we have his blessing

  54. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    Twicethethe, Herd, and any of the rest who contributed to this, it looks great, I admire your effort and your willingness to do this. I am willing to submit funds as needed, and contribute in other ways if that would be helpful, though I am not as talented, nor as thoughtful as you all have been with your words and your insights.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      Appreciate your offer
      But We won’t be asking anyone for funds
      Just your company!

    • herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

      That’s very nice of you. For me, I started with a basic wordpress template and plugged some things in. Twicethethe took that and and made it look and more importantly work great. It was great timing for me. It kept me busy at a time when I needed something to keep me busy. It’s all good.

  55. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    My battery is about to die
    😦

  56. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    Manitoba, not sure what the problem is, I found the one pic in spam and had to approve it. I’m kind of watching for moderated posts as you guys sign in and happened to see it. We’ll have to check and see why it went there.

  57. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Try, the best way anyone can help is to just show up, or invite new readers/bloggers we want to encourage new folks to join in.

  58. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Wow, how ya doin?

  59. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Okay That ROCKS !!! Photobucket posting works.. this was from the GB Fest game..

  60. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Son, I tried that, hovered over your avie. Looks like some old guy still pissed at Olivadotti?

  61. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Hey Dolphins you’re supposed to take off the pink in December, just sayin’

  62. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Toba, cool pic….ya even got the guy lighting the propane torch….lol

  63. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Son: Seriously it took me over a year to see drg’s avi as anything but a pile of coke.. it was so teeney..

    • son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

      That’s funny, when he came to the fest a couple of years ago I saw his FB page while we were coordinating and that was his avi on there as well so I was able to see a bigger version of it.

  64. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Toba, yeah I don’t get all the Luck hype…glad we are gonna keep building around Mr. Tannehill.

  65. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Tim was having trouble getting on. Said he wasn’t able to sign in. Any ideas? Said he gets to this screen that says create your own website

  66. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    What up GDP! Whaddaya think?

  67. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    I don’t know…never had to go do the sign in that way so not sure how it looks. I thought you could just click on accept the invitation, create your password and go?

  68. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Toba like a kid in a candy store with the new features…LMAO

  69. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Its official
    Patriots deflated footballs in afc championship
    Caught cheating once again

  70. TryPod's avatar Try Pod says:

    I had a little trouble getting on, but once I signed in to word press I was sent a new email that said I had activated my invitation and a button that said visit blog

  71. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    There are a few refs that should be thrown out of the league and the NFL should really get a handle on this because they’re going to screw themselves out of Billions of dollars the way the league is heading. Blatant cheating and favoritism is only going to go so far.

    They’re stupid because no matter who really wins people will watch and watch in huge numbers too. Like anyone really needs to see NE cheat into another SB, been there done that.

    • manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

      Not sure how true it was , but the wife said it was all over the internet on Sunday that Kraft was partying with Goodell the night before the AFC Championship game.. would not surprise me at all..

  72. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    2 pounds less air
    Brady can’t feel the difference?
    He laughed about it
    What a liar

  73. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Toba, I have a whack sense of humor as well, but I was trying to stay diplomatic and not name names I was thinkin.

  74. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Manitoba – I’m not sure who you were getting at. I’m a Canucks fan, you’d think that would help some. 😉

  75. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    A second blatant cheating violation, they should be stripped of the AFC Championship and let Indy go and get slaughtered by Seattle.

  76. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Hey, now maybe the Pasts can spike the Seahawks Gatorade buckets with Ex-Lax. 😳

  77. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    So . . . . . Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW, a cool feature, not sure if anyone pointed it out to you guys, but do you see the tab next your logo on the top right of the page, that looks like a comic book text bubble? If you click on it, if anyone replied to any of your posts, it will show you. Very cool!

  78. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    I think this one is already bought and paid for. Sorry Seattle, thanks for coming by. Thanks NFL for ruining the game.

    The biggest surprise to me is that Gene Steratore isn’t the SB ref, he’s the worst, or should I say the leagues best.

    And how the hell is Mike Carey wrong on every single play that gets reviewed?

  79. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Mike Tim just needs to click on more stuff, look up there are some good tips read Try’s post

  80. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

  87. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    I think MF13 & Walker are still talkin bout State of the Union address on the F’me paddy wagon..

  88. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    I am looking forward to Seattle stomping a mudhole in the Patriots.. Mind you, they better not start out the wy they did against Green Bay.. it took 2 great plays by former Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Chris Matthews and Jon Ryan) to bail their asses out..

  89. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    I am gonna Bail as well people, nice to see all these smiling faces in one place again.. See ya’ll soon..
