Snowflake's Sons
Fun Fact: There are 3 men with some derivative of my name in my bloodline. My father, (the one who cursed me with the Dolphins and their second longest active playoff win drought) and his father, a Lions fan (the longest active playoff win drought). A combined 71 years of playoff futility between 3 generations. What a legacy. (My hypothetical progeny will most assuredly have very normal names: Emily, Michael, Jeff, something that was still popular post-world war I)

WTF?!?!: Why Terminate Flores
In the afterglow of what counts as a successful season for the Miami Dolphins (winning record and a sweep of the Patriots) I wake up bleary eyed to news of head coaches getting fired. Orienting myself in the time of year, I am not surprised. The shock came from who was fired. Brian Flores, Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins for the last 3 years, has been relieved of his duties. Shock is a bit of an understatement. As I sift through texts, phone calls, and DMs asking about my opinion or knowledge of the incident, I find myself in an odd position. On the one hand: Flores has achieved something that hasn't been achieved since the 2004 season (back to back winning seasons) and has swept the AFC east rival Patriots for the first time in 21 years. On the other hand, the Dolphins have ridden ho-hum seasons to 20 years with exactly 0 playoff wins.
