"MikeTua nation" and it's literally just me 😭

Obviously as a fan of the people it's sad and disappointing. Mike in particular is such a sweet man and a good guy, and Tua has been through so much in his life. Both of them have had to fight so hard just to live their dreams -- dreams that didn't end up working out. My heart hurts for both of them, in that respect.

But as a fan of the team, it kind of had to happen, and I think it's for the best for everyone involved. They both have major flaws from a football perspective, and there's a reason Miami hasn't been good for a quarter century. There's something in the water down there. I think a change of scenery could do them both some good, and I wish them nothing but the best.

Me personally, part of my heart will always be with the MikeTua era of the Dolphins. It was exciting and thrilling and so tender in so many ways. Then there were times of sadness and frustration too. There were so many highs and so many lows, but ultimately, their era gave me true hope as a fan for the first time in so long. They did wonderful things together and they clearly had so much love for each other.
