Fasano takes shots at Dolphins fans, calls Suck for Luckers ‘sick’

Oct. 26 News and Notes 9 comments ---Bill

Well, we can add Anthony Fasano to the list of Miami Dolphins’ players ripping Dolphins fans.  Last week, it was Karlos Dansby and his “it’s not right bro” comments.  This week, Anthony Fasano gave his thoughts on Dolphins fans that support Suck for Luck.  The quotest below are from the story about the Dolphins TE on SportsRadioInterviews.com:

Regarding Suck for Luck:

“It’s sick actually. I can’t even fathom those thoughts of those people that conjure up that stuff. They have never played sports and pretty much aren’t really our loyal fans. I can’t really put any weight into that and I know the players don’t listen to it. It’s a shame, but people are going to talk and we just have to block that out.”

My thoughts:  After telling you what I thought about Dansby’s comments last week, I’m ready for a new challenge.  Here it goes; REALLY TONY?  You know what’s sick?  10 catches in 6 games.  THAT’S SICK!  I’ve poured my heart, soul, and hard earned money into supporting the Dolphins for 25 years…but I’m not a loyal fan?  Are you freaking kidding me?  Dolphins fans have put up with a decade of debauchery, for what?  We were 1-15 in 2007 and we’re already 0-6 in 2011.  Why don’t we have the right to sacrifice one season for the hope of a better future.

And generalizing about Dolphins fans is not a good way to win their hearts.  It’s also not wise to rip the very fans that you are trying to reach out to for help with your charity Foundation.  In our poll 2 weeks ago, over 65% of Dolphins fans said they supported Suck for Luck.  That’s a pretty big portion of the fan base that you just ticked off.  Actually, I’m interested in knowing if that number has grown since the Dolphins lost to the Jets and Broncos:

In summation, I think it would be best if Dolphins players stayed away from the Suck for Luck talk…because it will only lead to trouble…especially when they start ripping Dolphins fans.

Regarding Gator Day at Sun Life (honoring the Florida Gators):

“Yeah it was awful. Showing up at the stadium and seeing all the Gator stuff and the Tebow stuff. It was disheartening, but as players we kind of put ourselves in that position because the Dolphins are in the business of winning football games and making money. We haven’t been winning football games, but it’s still a smack in the face and it’s unfortunate we couldn’t rain on their parade and get the win.

 My thoughts: I will agree with Fasano on his comments about the travesty that was Gator Day.  The idea behind it was to sell tickets.  Well that worked out freaking fabulous didn’t it?  The Dolphins, even with the messiah Tebow starting his first game, couldn’t sell out the game.  What unfolded at the stadium was nothing short of what you would see in a Johnny Depp movie.  Gator fans, U of Miami fans, Dolphins fans, Broncos fans…Everyone was there, yelling, screaming, cheering, jeering.  It was surreal….and it is an embarrassment to a once proud organization that they would honor the opposing team’s QB at halftime of a game.

    I arrived in Florida in the 80′s just in time to follow that Marino era. Years passed by and so did dissapointment, but that faithfull fan was still there watching.Sunday after Sunday. Even if the game was not on TV i’d waited for the highlights just to see if my Dolphins perform to some level of competitiveness. Years pass by, people ask why do you follow this team? My answer “I’m a loyal Dolphin fan” and even if they loose I’m still expecting some type of improvement from the previos game but unfortunately Dophins front office don’t care about DieHard fans they’re frustration,hart attacks or feeling, They care about there pockets. It’s been 31 years and different administrations. What can I say if you don’t care about your job(even if your the OWNER) PLEASE Quit.

    Fasano you are one of those players I’ve been talking about.a Dallas reject a good player but not good enough not a game changer.That is all Ireland and Spanaro have brought to this team cheap rejects.Mr. Fasano the next time you drop a pass right in your hands, miss a block or run the wrong route remember we the fans who pay your wages are tired of it.OR DO YOU THINK THATS SICK ALSO?

    ‎38 yrs since Super Bowl Champs
    26 yrs since Superbowl appearance
    18 yrs since AFC Championship game appearance (but less than the Bengals, Browns, Lions, & Redskins)
    10 yrs since a playoff victory.
    But who’s counting.

    Dolfans are just dumb first people are hollering about suck for luck. Lets say we get the number one pick what if luck stays one more year then what. Then everyone is rooting for Gruden or Cowher to take over we need a hungry head coach with experience. Look I a big Jimmy Johnson fan but similar situation with Cowher or Gruden , Jimmy had some good drafts but did little else. Jimmy s best days were left in dallas and as for The Big Tuna just sad nothing more need be said. Guys history is giving us hints of the future with wash up so called geniuses. We need someone experienced and hungry. Andy Reid, Rob Ryan or Jeff Fisher still has something to prove I believe.

      Experience is overrated. We brought guys like jimmy johnson, and bill parcels who did absolutely nothing to help the team. What we need is a young energetic and explosive coach who can coach the game the way he wants. No influence from the reality show of owners (j-lo and the miami heat team) Really and truly fasano and bell needs to be fired for saying that the fans shouldnt say what they are saying. Far too long the dolphins have been underacheiving …..year after year….season after season…..game after game……coach after coach…..I think every coach on the dolphins team needs to be fired, the owners should be ashamed of themselves and really think about selling the team…….I made up my mind not to buy anymore season tickets until these drastic measures have been taking ….It’s one thing of being a fan, but there is always reality…The players should be fustrated because they have lowsy coaches. But that guy sean smith..I doubt any coaching can help him…I mean how can you get into the nfl not able to catch the football….it’s just disheartning

    DONT fill the stands and the management might listen,be a fool and buy season tickets to what,c.r.a.p

    I agree 100% with the author of this post, It’s bad enough they’re 0-6 while hard working fans keep pouring their hard earned income into the team. one would think the least they could do would be, to take responsability for their record and take the critisism from the fans that comes along with such a stinky record, and tell the media they understand.

    It’s hard not to go to the games or be a real loyal fan any more but enough is enough.If we had a owner like Joe Robbie this would have never had happen.So it starts at the top and goes all the way down to the water boy.Wise up and clean house Ross! Robbie did it do see the trophies in the office Mr. Ross.
