The news is official and the team will be staying on with the organization. I am truly stunned by this outcome and humbled that so many of you stood by this group. This belongs entirely to you because I never could have imagined this level of support.

On March 12, it was announced that the Miami Dolphins would be bringing an end to The Finsiders, a production that goes way beyond what some call a radio show. Besides them being on the air during the week from 4 - 7 PM, they also are on television for their second hour. Additionally, they produce and air content on the Miami Dolphins website on a daily basis.
However, it doesn't stop there. The relationships that have been cultivated by host Greg Likens along with his crew members - Tristin Jones, Sam Madison, OJ McDuffie, Troy Stradford and others - have been wide-ranging. Whether it's in person, on social media platforms or in private conversations, you will be hard pressed to find anyone else that best represents the Miami Dolphins organization.
These people are not just another number in the financial department's books. They are not just a tally mark on the year-end report. Yes, we understand that there are financial reasons behind this as well as contractual reasons. We understand that the radio rights to the Miami Dolphins will be headed in a different direction. But, that doesn't mean that these talented people should be simply let go.
When you have people who are as talented as Greg, Tristin, Sam, Troy and others, you find a way to make it work and fit them in. On the football field, you find ways to fit talent in and make it work. It should be the same behind the scenes as well.
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stated several months ago that he believes the Dolphins are best in class in everything they do off the field. Permanently getting rid of The Finsiders and its crew would put a large dent in that statement.
With the creative minds that are headquartered in Davie, there are ways that you can make this program work. This includes a daily podcast, fan interaction and columns on the website, a behind-the-scenes look throughout the week and more. Sure, there won't be any radio broadcasts anymore but there are just as many people who have turned to the podcast route to get their fix of information.
We are asking you that you keep one of the gems of the Miami Dolphins - The Finsiders Crew. Former host Jesse Agler made it what it is today and Greg has done a fantastic job of carrying the torch. It would be a shame to see if come to a permanent end.

I am honestly stunned by how many people care about this team as much as I do. We are getting so near to 2,500 signatures because of your dedication. If you could send this link to just a few more people today I think we might really catch their attention.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the stories you have all been sharing about how much this team meant to you. It turns out that this was about so much more than just a radio show for all of us. I am still working on getting these messages in front of the right people.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you stepped up to support this. If we could get just a little further before we hit that first hundred mark it would mean the world to the team.

Please keep in finsiders on these guys are amazing. I'm from the Bahamas n love everything about the Miami Dolphins n da finsiders is legendary cuz the hosts almost all played on my team plus they speak to current players very informative.
I am an active duty soldier, the show is my only means of inside info on the team. I've been a dolphan since 72, I found the Phinsiders a couple of years ago while in Iraq, it got me through that by having something to look forward to on a daily basis!
As a lifelong Dolphin fan who lives in the Northeast the finsiders has been how I keep up to date on my team. Please don't take away our connection to our beloved team. I am surrounded by Patriots radio up here and the finsiders has been a ray of sunshine.
I am a die hard Dolphin's fan from Long Beach California. Cancelling this show would be a shame I listen to it every day. This organization spends money like water and there is no reason they should have to cancel it for financial reasons.
Please don't get rid of the player interviews, post practice interviews, post game interviews, new player interviews, etc. There is no other content that satisfies this itch for me. If you do away with this content I will be a less interested fan.
Save the show please and thank you!!!!!!!!
I enjoy watching as much as possible and look forward to the comments by the ex fins.
