Now that the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions following a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday, the 2022 NFL season is in the books. Another chapter of football concludes, and we can all turn the page to the 2023 offseason and all that comes with it.
Football has turned into a 12-month sport in many regards, and although the February championship game is over, fans have the re-signing period, free agency, the NFL Combine and draft to look forward to all before organized team activities and training camp hits.
Even better, for fans of the Miami Dolphins, although the season ended sooner than anyone wanted, the rest of the party is just getting started. I had the joy and opportunity to speak with former Miami legendary wide receiver O.J. McDuffie, and we discussed the 2022 season as well as some incredible events upcoming in this Dolphins’ community.
McDuffie and I had a fun talk about the announcement of his teammate, Zach Thomas, into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Finally being recognized for his sensational career, Thomas will be enshrined among the immortals this August in Canton, Ohio. McDuffie reminisced about his memories of playing with Thomas and even told a great story of the time he knew the linebacker was a special player.
While the celebration of Thomas will see thousands of Miami faithful flock to Canton this summer to honor a hero, a few months before will be another opportunity for fans to bring back memories of watching their favorite players and team.
McDuffie is one of 35 Miami legends to be sailing on the MSC Seascape for a Dolphins Fan Cruise experience that’s as once-in-a-lifetime as the Perfect season of 1972. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of that 17-0 Super Bowl Championship season for the Dolphins, legends such as Larry Csonka, Larry Little, Mercury Morris and more from the ’72 team will be onboard. Joining McDuffie and the residents of “Perfectville,” will be more Hall-of-Famers in Dwight Stephenson and the man himself, quarterback Dan Marino.
The list goes on as joining the crew will be The Marks Brothers, Clayton and Duper, Nat Moore, Ronnie Brown, Richmond Webb and many more legends including a few of those “Killer Bees” from Miami’s defensive units of the 1980s.
We discussed all of this and more in the video below and a special thanks to O.J. McDuffie. You can hear McDuffie on his popular Miami Dolphins Podcast Network show, “The Fish Tank.”
A staple in the Dolphins community and charitable efforts, McDuffie’s Catch81 Foundation does outstanding work within the South Florida community, most recently with a holiday toy drive and Strikes for Kids bowling events.
Join the fun from April 2-9, and set sail for an adventure like no other aboard the brand-new MSC Seascape for seven nights, sailing to several Caribbean destinations, including Ocean Cay, Bahamas, Nassau, Bahamas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Puerto Plata and the Dominican Republic.
