Yesterday we experienced the largest gathering of Miami Dolphins fans yet as they gathered in anticipation of a big playoff win. However, gaining their first playoff victory in years would be a giant task as they faced the Baltimore Ravens and their intimidating defense.
The Dol-Fans were greeted by the 2Michelles ("Tall Michelle" and "Short Michelle") as they were decorating the viewing area with Dolphins paraphernalia. They also conducted video interviews and shout-outs to all of their fans of their website.
By the time the game started, we had probably about 40 or so hardcore color-wearing Dol-Fans in the house.
After the first quarter, the Dol-Fans had reason to hope as they kept close to their opponent with the score tied 3-3. However, things began to go south for their beloved Dolphins during the second quarter as Chad Pennington began to show signs of his former self. He ended up throwing at least four interceptions and that led the team towards their eventual demise. The upstart Dolphins would finally end their miracle run, 27-9.
Though the Dolphins were ceremoniously bounced by the Ravens, it was a great run for a team that finished 1-15 the year before. They were very entertaining and brought a lot of fresh energy to the Sunday Fun-Day madness (both the team and the fans). As much as we joke about them being "The Cult" and such, they were a fun bunch and on behalf of the bar, I welcome them back with open arms next season. Good stuff.

While this was taking place, the rest of the Brew Crew used the opportunity to play some "games of chance" involving the scores of the games. Each quarter of the game provided us with an opportunity to win some moola and of course, being red-blooded Americans with nothing better to do with their hard-earned money, we took full advantage of it..... And as always, to the victor goes the spoils.
The second game was pretty exciting in its own right, however, it lacked the wattage of the first game and as a result, the afternoon ended on a whimper instead of a roar. Oh well, you can't rock the house all the time!
