What a relief
I've been a Dolphin fan almost as long as the Dolphins have been playing. I'm not sure what year the team entered the NFL but around 1968 my sister was a cheerleader for them and we used to get free tickets to the games.
Back then they were the " Dolphin Dolls " and the girls ranged from age 6 to 17. The older ones cheered and they all did a halftime show. Then the Dolphins hired Don Shula and got a lot better so they stopped giving us free tickets
One great memory I have is a Monday night football game against the Bears back when Dick Butkus was the league's badass and we sat right below the press box at the Orange Bowl and we could see Meredith, Cosell and I think Gifford.
Then one year the Dallas Cowboys invented the " Hot " cheerleader and the rest of the teams had to keep up so the " Dolphin Dolls " were let go and a new era in cheerleading began.
It was good times back then and Miami was actually a pretty nice place to live.
