Jim Jensen: Crash Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

In 1981, the Miami Dolphins utilized an 11th round draft choice to select quarterback Jim Jensen out of Boston University. Jensen’s career as a signal caller was inauspicious at best, but he would quickly become one of the most versatile NFL players of his generation, contributing as a receiver, tight end, running back, full back, and special teams standout. A favorite of Don Shula and Dan Marino, Jensen solidified his place on the Dolphins 50th Season All-Time Team in 2015, and in the hearts of DolFans forever.

Scott Mitchell: I Belong Dec 13, 2023

In this episode, Mitchell discusses the influence of Marino and legendary head coach Don Shula, his whirlwind experience during the 1993 season, and valuable lessons he learned from his failures and challenges that he believes have shaped him into the person he is today.
