MiamiDolphins.com is once again teaming up with popular fan site 2Michelles.com throughout the 2008 season to give Dol-Fans a unique look at their favorite team through the eyes – and lenses – of two of its most passionate fans. Their video features will appear on MiamiDolphins.com's Aquavision every Monday throughout the season.
Having spent last season traveling to every Dolphins away game, the duo, known affectionately as "Tall" and "Short" Michelle, will stay closer to their home in New York City this year and present weekly video blogs. The focus of their videos will still be the fans and topics of interest to the fans. They have planned several exciting features for the coming season, which include interviews with sports writers, former Dolphins players, members of the media and a couple of reports from the road.
The short one hails from Miami and follows in her dad's footsteps of cheering for the Dolphins. Her mom is European and insists that the only football that exists is soccer. No questions asked. Short Michelle works in the finance industry specializing in marketing.
The tall one comes from Charleston and became a Dolphins fan when her dad duped her into cheering for them in order to annoy his wife, a Cowboys fan. Tall Michelle spends a lot of time on the runway and in front of the camera as a model and actress.
Be sure to catch the 2Michelles each week on MiamiDolphins.com. You can watch each of their videos throughout the season on this page.
