Selected by the Dolphins in the first round of the 1977 NFL Draft, Kim Bokamper played his entire career in Miami, first as an outside linebacker from 1977-1980, and then as a defensive end from 1981-1985. Bokamper would become a fixture in South Florida as a television broadcaster on WFOR-TV CBS Miami, as a sideline reporter for Dolphins games for 560 WQAM Radio, and as a restaurateur with his “Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill” restaurants.

Bo, who is also one of the all-time great story tellers in Dolphins’ history, dives in with OJ and Seth for the first time since 2019, and does not disappoint. Fresh of the Dolphins historic come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens, we relive the thrilling experience from his sideline vantage point (3:03), which of course sparks memories of Bob Griese becoming the first Fins passer to throw six TDs in a 1977 game that Bo also had a front row seat to (7:47). Kim tells us the craziest thing he ever witnessed as a sideline reporter (10:16), recalls weathering the storm of both Defensive Coordinator Bill Arnsparger and legendary Head Coach Don Shula after a missed sack opportunity (14:56), and explains why even the equipment truck was held to Shula’s strict schedule (17:58). Bo then gifts us two of the most hilarious stories ever told in The Tank as he details Ed Newman’s 12-Minute Run attempt (22:08), and an outrageous blackmail scheme for Dan Marino’s missing high school shoulder pads (39:03). Finishing strong, Bo delivers a walk-off-sack in our Two-Minute Drill (48:46).

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Travis Wingfield looked across the entire country to turn his love for sports into an undeniable passion when he became a diehard Miami Dolphins fan at an early age. Wingfield’s hunger for all things aqua and orange paired with his analytical approach led him to podcasting, and ultimately to building one of the most listened-to Dolphins podcasts around. Today, as host of the Drive Time Podcast on the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, Wingfield has realized his dream of working for his lifelong favorite franchise as a podcaster, writer, and on-camera personality.

In the tank, Travis explains how the Miami Dolphins unique color palette developed his fandom at an early age, despite growing up more than 3,000 miles away from South Florida (2:02). Additionally, he shares the events that led him to podcasting (6:03), reveals how his refusal to actually play football forced his tireless study habits to learn the “Xs & Os” of the sport (11:09), reflects on a March-Madness style tournament bracket that named him the “Best Follow” on Dolphins Twitter” (17:20) only to be let down later by losing out to friend Kyle Crabbs for a writing position (20:28). Travis also pulls back the curtain on the first time he realized working for the Dolphins could become a reality with an amazing story that involves Tom Garfinkel, Dan Marino, and Stephen Ross’ suite at Hard Rock Stadium (24:00).
