Hi! These are Atlantic pygmy devil rays (Mobula hypostoma), cool underwater footage of them =) I know a PhD student who is studying these rays with Mote Marine Laboratory to support their conservation. Do you remember the date that you took the video, or at least the month and year? As well as where you saw the rays in Destin (such as the name of the pier in the background)? Pygmy devil rays are endangered and very understudied so any sighting information you’re able to share would be helpful in understanding the seasonality and distribution of this species! Thanks for your time, we appreciate it 🙏🏻
Hi there! Thanks for commenting. Give me some time to dig through the files from that trip and I will try to provide more information! Glad this old video was of some interest to you! I will respond back with any information I can find.
4:45 Team scores to take the lead with 7 seconds left in the 4th quarter: NFL back then: "Dolphins win it!" NFL now: "There's 7 seconds left, it's way too early to declare a winner!"
It felt like Miami just won the Superbowl. Beating the then Superbowl champions. And having the best record in the NFL. Then the biggest collapse in NFL history. Losing 5 games in a row and missing the playoffs.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane. This was FOOTBALL and MARINO was GOD! This makes me smile and cry at the same time. What a drag it is getting old.
Man, I got chills watching the Thanksgiving day Cowboys game ending. That was my 2nd all-time favorite Marino era win. #1 was destroying the then-undefeated '85 Bears in week 13 on MNF, handing that team their only loss of the season and preventing them from claiming their own undefeated season. The good ol' days...
DAMN,part of my teenage yrs,loved Louis Oliver a very underrated safety, Shulas BIGGEST mistake was not getting rid of OLIVIDOTTI,cuz he had some damn good pieces in those yrs,BRYAN COX,TROY VINCENT,OLIVER and to some extent JOHN OFFERDAHL,just not sure what yr he retired,but he was a damn good LINEBACKER and then in 94 they drafted BOWENS who imo may have been their best DT of all time,again underrated,I'm sure I'm missing a few,DARRYL GARDENER was decent but never hit his potential but had they gotten a better DC who knows just how much that could have changed things cuz the D collapsed EVERY yr until JJ built his D and very quickly and again very underrated job he did of building what would go onto become a championship caliber D from 98-03 ,a six yr run and a few of those yrs they were top 5 and I believe all of those yrs they were top 10,not positive but UNFORTUNATELY for marino he was about done by the time that D was hot and JJ unlike Shula was having a hard time putting the right guys around Dan,but all the way till 98 DAN MARINO had a legitimate shot,just didnt have the offensive fire piwer or a great scheme!!Its a shame and even tho I'm a big fan of DON SHULAS ,if he stepped down about 5 yrs sooner we probably would be calling Marino a SB winner today,imo!!
I love my Phins but sometimes our fans and reporters are meatheads. I'll never forget or forgive those meatheads that thought we should continue with Mitchell over Marino.
I forgot to mention when I heard Chris Collinsworth Voice ,one night at the holiday inn in Titusville l partied with Dan Marino, Boomer, Chris and Jim Kelly.tearing it up on the Dancefloor really good times. And I had just happened to walk in that bar. I think there was a Space shuttle taking off or something I can’t remember. Go Dolphins!!
My greatest thanksgiving of all time. As a diehard Miami fan, watching this game with my cousins spoiled,privileged, wagon jumping, Cowboy fan of an ex boyfriend was extremely satisfying and savory... On the more unfortunate side, this team was a solid compilation of offensive players for Marino to go to the Super Bowl again. That bizarre , freak Achilles injury truly ruined our season that year.
How many great games were so close that Miami was a part of.....This is why we need to win any games that are close to have a shot to go 9-6 and possibly get into the playoffs in 2020. Even more so since the NFL is adding an extra team into the wild card games too!!
Yes I agree,very underrated MARINO driven offense,u always hear about the MARKS BROS but that early to mid 90's OFFENSE was pretty damn good too,just maybe not as explosive and not as consistent,but damn,FRYAR,INGRHAM,McDUFFIE and KEITH JACKSON and KEITH BYARS BUT....the problem was they couldnt run effectively,if at all!?I actually did like BERNIE PARMALEE though,I think they gave up very easy on the run game during gms,cuz the D just couldnt stop teams from scoring so it was like the same thing every gm,thats why I say if SHULA had brought in a new DC cuz Olividotti was awful and heres the kicker it was like universally known that he sucked and was ruining Shulas and Marinos chances of gettin back to the SB!!
Hey why are we comin down on STOYANOVICH??He was one of the best kickers in the league for awhile,only with him I think his leg may have faded kinda quick,cuz I dont remember much after he left Miami,but imo him and maybe MARE were thier best kickers of all time!
That 94 home opener and Dan returning from the injury is probably my standout game just because once Dan hit ingraham in stride with a dagger downfield I knew he was back and still had that golden arm and most importantly still determined to WIN!!BUT lookin back at this gm now man none of those TD passes were cheap,he was slingin the ball down field,only fitting fins won the game with Marino goin all or nothin!!Magical time growing up a fin fan and even though I grew up in CT the DOLPHINS were really popular in the 80's and 90's and I got to watch probably around 10 gms a yr cuz they were always a playoff contender!!
Thanks for uploading these! What a great trip down memory lane. I remember so many of these games because I used to record them on VHS when I was a kid and watch them over and over. Good Times.
A close friend of mine recorded pretty much every game for around 20 years. my brother made them into this highlight video for me. unfortunately all of the original tapes were lost in a flood in 2016, so these videos are all that remain
