🍻 To the start of a new season #NFL :nfl:

Go Dolphins! :miamidolphins:

In honor of Patriots :ne_patriots: week, I should dig through my stuff for some #FinsUpCave memories. As a lifelong New Englander, I have a lot.

Anyone remember sitting on those cold metal benches at Sullivan Stadium? 🥶 #FinsUp :finsup: #NFL :nfl:

Jason Taylor bobblehead. I got this around 2003 at the same time I bought the Chris Chambers one linked below.

Fun fact: My wife, @MommaMoose, and I named our first cat after Jason Taylor. We called him JT for short. JT lived with us for 16 years. Below is one of my favorite photos of him sleeping peacefully in his blanket cave he created for himself.

#FinsUpCave - almost missed this great opportunity. (Had to do some digging in the closet...)

December 24, 1989 - 33 years ago today, I was at the coldest game in Miami against the #ChiefsKingdom :nfl_chiefs: . We bought Dolphins logo socks at the stadium to wear as mittens.

Continuing with today's contribution to #FinsUpCave --

This set of stuff includes my signed Brian Hartline jersey (from my profile photo). This includes the jersey I won from a DolfansNYC raffle in London, and my game tickets and game program from the October contest against the Saints at Wembley Stadium.

I love this jersey - it's the only one I own.

One of the other signed photos I got at the Dolphins event previously mentioned.

Anyone remember James McKnight? Bueller?

So for starters (the lighting is bad), but you may notice that my office is painted in #MiamiDolphins colors.

Here is a photo that Tony Nathan signed for me a bunch of years ago at a Dolphins event at the stadium. To this day, I'm surprised at how few people showed up to mingle with some of the old players.

I'll start participating in the #FinsUpCave posts, but warning - this may go on for a while. I have a lot of Dolphins stuff and memories. Over time, maybe I'll just keep this as a long-running thread.

#ChrisChambers #bobblehead. I think I got this around 2003. I always enjoyed watching Chambers play.

I’ve had these forever and I don’t remember exactly when I got them, but the logo looks like the one from 74-89. I used to wear them for luck but it only worked sometimes. Probably a factory defect?

@CoachTim

I still use the same Dolphins Christmas stocking that I did when I was a kid. The plastic face mask has long since fallen off, and there's some serious wear and tear, but it still does the job. #FinsUp #FinsUpCave

@slessans2 That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'll need to research some more about this WFL 😊

4/4 Here is the program from the 2003 Thanksgiving Day game vs #DallasCowboys in Dallas. A 40-21 blowout by the #Dolphins.

Miami put up 23 in the first half and went to halftime with a 23-14 lead. Then outscored Dallas 17-7 in the second half. Ricky Williams ran for 100+ and Chris Chambers had 3 TD's!

We had great seats in the lower level corner of the endzone.

3/4 I will kick things off by sharing this neat little toy I received as a gift 25+ years ago! I can't recall who got this for me, but it's been in my collection for quite some time.

1/4 I figure we all have cool and unique #MiamiDolphins collectibles that do not receive the appropriate level of admiration they deserve.

So, let’s start a collection of our own #Dolphins gear and stories here on the Fediverse by sharing pictures (and a story about), or text of, our #MiamiDolphins gear and experiences using the hashtag ---> #FinsUpCave
