Irma shows we are all on the same team

Lord help us. We’re trying to help. We’re trying to heal our community. It’s a week after Hurricane Irma, and we’re all trying to bring the best lessons of sports into the larger calamity of life.

We’re the Panthers delivering trucks of food and water into Broward areas with no power.

We’re the Dolphins organizing volunteers and providing funds to repair homes across South Florida.

We’re the Hurricanes just relieved everyone’s safe as the football team reassembles in Orlando for Sunday’s first practice in 10 days.

We’re Heat president Pat Riley walking the supermarket aisle to fill a shopping cart — and then another and another — with seemingly everything: pastas, rice, beans, chicken, meats, cold cuts, bread, canned milk, macaroni and cheese, vegetable oil and cereal.

Riley then raided the Heat facility for cases of water and Gatorade. He distributed them at relief centers in El Portal and Miami Shores. He filled up again and went to a seniorcitizen home in Little Haiti and a relief center in Overtown. He got up the next day and did it all again.

We’re a plywood-covered home with the spray-painted message: “No matter what happens the Jets still suck.”

We’re Heat owner Micky Arison, Dolphins owner Steve Ross and Panthers owner Vinnie Viola opening wallets to

give millions in relief help.

We’re the Marlins relocating a series to Milwaukee rather than use precious resources — and Milwaukee getting in the spirit by putting up fake palms and pink flamingos to give its stadium a South Florida feel.

We’re Florida Atlantic University coach Lane Kiffin taking out a fullpage ad in the Wisconsin State Journal after being put up after their game in Madison last Saturday and writing, “Dear Badger Nation, Thank you! You have opened your hearts to us …”

We’re Panthers president Matthew Caldwell organizing with JetBlue and food trucks to give more than 10,000 free meals at the BB&T Center to anyone in need.

We’re Dolphins fan Chris Joseph tweeting, “No power, so I drove to a friend’s house so I could watch the Dan Marino Football Life [documentary]. Would only do that for the GOAT …”

We’re Udonis Haslem, the lone Heat player not to evacuate, sending video of the storm’s damage to teammates.

We’re Dolphins players Reshad Jones, Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker, Ndamukong Suh, Kenny Stills, Lawrence Timmons and Laremy Tunsil — already displaced to California by Irma — helping stranded Miami Central High players. The high school team’s trip home after a game in Las Vegas was canceled by Irma. The Dolphins players heard and paid for hotels and flight changes. The Dolphins organization helped with reservations and rides home for the players over three days.

We’re Panthers players, evacuated to Boston, holding a hurricane fund raiser

with Bruins players outside Fenway Park during a Red Sox game. A triple-crown of teams help.

We’re the Heat organizing with the Golden State Warriors and a FedEx plane bringing humanitarian aid to fly 150 displaced dogs and cats back to California.

We’re Hurricanes defensive coordinator Manny Diaz hearing as Irma stalked us that CBS commentator Rick Neuheisel and others said Miami’s decision to cancel the Arkansas State was “suspicious” and “looked to me like you didn’t want to play the game.” Morons are always out there. Diaz wrote on Twitter: “The entire state right now is in the cross hairs of the strongest storm ever in the Atlantic. Ever. And we are still talking about football with all these lives in the balance? Come on, man, perspective.”

We’re Jimmy Johnson, his Tavernier house uninhabitable, offering free pizza at his Big Chill restaurant in Key Largo to any first responders.

We’re Leo Ambrust, the former chaplain of Johnson’s Hurricanes, Dallas Cowboys and Dolphins teams, driving from Palm Beach county with two friends, showing up unannounced at Johnson’s damaged home and working all day on cleanup. .

We’re the Ransom Everglades High football field with a 35-foot boat on it, and Key West High football team with a field underwater.

We’re teams with no games on Friday and Saturday.

We’re the Dolphins opening today in Los Angeles.

We’re trying to help. We’re trying to heal. At times like this, we’re one big sports team.
