The Most Ethical Tank in NFL History Continues As The Miami Dolphins Barely Lose to The Lions

We are witnessing history. We are witnessing the most ethical, respectful tank, not only in NFL history but in all of sports. Your worst team couldn’t tank this way if they wanted to. This is as real as it gets, and you best believe the football gods have no choice but to reward the Miami Dolphins for this picture perfect tank.

I watched one of the most haram tanks in NFL history take place back in 2019, where the Dolphins would legit sign players on Tuesday morning and they’d be starting the game on Sunday. We signed Josh Rosen to be the starting QB and if it wasn’t for Brian Flores, we probably would have went 0-17 and blacklisted from the NFL. I remember the segments on ESPN talking about how dangerous our tanking was to players safety. That never made sense to me, but you get the point. We went from tanking in the worst way possible, to literally teaching a seminar on how to do it. 

Every week our rookies get better and better. No joke, we hit on FIVE draft picks. Not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE. I couldn’t tell you the last time the Dolphins have ever hit in the draft. It feels like we have a GM who knows what he’s doing and a Head Coach who is truly changing the culture down in Miami. This young team has played the toughest schedule in the NFL and they are within striking distance to win the game pretty much every week, but they don’t. And that’s ok. This team was built to fail but it is clear we are building for the future. 

For the first time in a long time I believe in this teams front office. No longer are we stuck in the Chris Grier purgatory. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel. I'll probably regret saying all this as history has taught me that anything that can go wrong will go wrong for the Miami Dolphins, but I have no choice but to see the glass as half full.
