We’ve all been there: You get to Publix after a long shift at work, days before a hurricane is projected to mess up your entire weekend.

There are many types of Miami Dolphins fans in this world, but they all have one thing in common: an uncanny ability to withstand an absurd amount of annual disappointment while still signing up the following August to ask for more.

There won’t be any movies made about the multimillion-dollar scam sold by Boca Raton resident Scott Strochak. No Leonardo DiCaprio depictions, no adaptions by Martin Scorsese, and no big-money Netflix deal.

Still, $3.8 million is nothing to balk at.
