Where to watch Dolphins-Jets game
We all know that the Miami Dolphins have had a rough season, but hopefully a little swim across the pond will turn it around as they take on the New York Jets in London on Sunday. To prevent anyone from any head butting rage, here’s a list of places that are not only opening early for the game, but also serving specials like 32-oz. Bloody Mary’s, bottomless Mimosas and free Jell-O shots for every Dolphins’ touchdown. Hey, ‘win or lose, we still booze,’ right?
