It's cool when it's not just Thurman Thomas running rough shot over you.

It's everybody who gets the ball.

It's December 95, Dolphins at Bills, and the Wildcard.

This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and maybe chart the path of the zeitgeist.

I'm your host Thomas Emmerich, and my guest is Denny Carter, Roto World and NBC Sports creator of the Bad Faith Times newsletter opted into being raised on Miami Dolphins football

and 1995 was supposed to be their year to make it out of the AFC.

Now a four-time guest east back to see what happens with that.

Welcome, Denny.

Has it ever been established so hard?

No, no, no, but really, that's what it always came down to for the late marino dolphins they couldn't run the ball

the maiden voyage where we talked dolphins bills in the playoffs first ever guest on remember that
