Q) Congrats on the game today against the Vikings!! I haven't gotten to go to a game since you started playing, but I wanted to tell you that you are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work. Many of my friends are Chicago fans and they laughed when I told them that the Fins were going to win. Who's laughing now! ;) Anyway, this isn't really a question but I notice Welker is getting more catches since you became the starting QB. I think he is very underated and is a tremendous athlete. Keep up the good work, you guys make me proud to be a Fins fan! :)

A) Thanks for the email. We are just trying to keep it going with the win string. Chicago was a good start but it already seems like awhile ago. You have to be ready every week and we only have a few days to get ready this week before we get on the plane for Detroit. Wes is a great athlete and tough competitor. He is a great complement to Chris Chambers and Marty Booker on the outside.
Q) Joey, This is not a question, just a comment..... For years I wrote to you saying to keep your head up and don't worry about what was being said about you in Detroit. I am and always will be your #1 fan in West Michigan (Muskegon). I wanted to wish you good luck against the Lions on Thanksgiving. This sounds strange coming from a die-hard Lions fan like myself. However, today I declared myself a free agent fan. After 45 years of watching the Lions, I cannot do it anymore.....the way the team has been run into the ground is horrible. I will be watching on Thanksgiving.....I am giving the Dolphins the first crack at having me as a fan. I was a fan of the Dolphins from 1972 until Dan Marino retired. The only thing that stopped me from becoming a Miami Dolphin fan again (when you signed with them) was my love for the Lions. Good luck on Thanksgiving....make all of us Joey Harrington fans happy and crush the Lions! Your #1 fan in West Michigan, Stan Strach

--Stan Strach - Muskegon, MI
A) Stan, thanks for the support through the years. I am feeling really great about where I am this year being a part of the Dolphin organization. The Lions years are behind me and we are just looking to keep our winning streak alive this week.
Q) Congratulations on your past two games, you guys are on a roll! Like yourself, I am an avid piano player (I went to see you at Kensington Church last winter when you and several other Lions came in to speak and perform) and you guys did great. People were beyond impressed with your piano skills. I would like to know if you can tell me where I can get the sheet music (if it exists) for the Christmas songs we are able to listen to on your website. If not, not big deal, keep up the good work at the piano, on the field, and helping others!

--Eric Anderson - Kalamazoo, MI
A) I think I just improvised the music you are referring to. It was just something I thought would be fun to do at the time. Sorry.
Q) Tremendous game against the Chiefs Joey!!!!!It really seems like your getting used to your teammates and the offensive philosophy. Do you feel you're improving every week beacause it looks that way to me? It seems like you're very close to getting your timing down with the Miami receivers on the deep routes. Do you feel it's all going to click any week now? Just want to say you're doing great and I wish you all the best the rest of the season and stay healthy! You've brought back excitement to our team!

A) That was a good win against KC. They are a good football team but our defense really shut them down. I am getting more comfortable with what our offense needs from me - especially in the last couple games. I missed a few throws I wished I had back Sunday but, all in all, I was happy. Winning helps a lot. Thanks.
Q) Hey #3!!! Just wanted to let you know how much I look up to you. I am 16 and a lifelong Harrington and Dolphins fan. Very nice job against KC and Chicago. It more exciting now than ever to be a Dolphins fan. I would like to wish you a long and shining career. Go Dolphins!!!!!

--Ed Kratz - Andrews, IN
A) I am very happy to be a Dolphin right now. The last two weeks we have really improved in some areas we needed to. Too bad we aren't starting the season over but there is still a lot of good things that can happen. It's important not to look back. Once a Sunday game is over you can only enjoy a win for a short while and then it's back to the next game. Thanks.
Q) Hi Joey, We are from Eugene, my husband went to UofO and my kids attended Ohara Catholic school. You spoke at Ohara a few years back and it left an impression on my son. He started piano lessons. We went to many UofO games while you were there but we recently moved to Illinois and have yet to make it to a game out here yet. Keep up the good work, stay positive.

--Julie Neal - Aledo, IL
A) Thanks for the email. Illinois is a long way from Eugene! Tell your son to keep practicing. He can play football only so long but he can play the piano all his life. I am enjoying myself in Miami.
Q) Hey Joey, I have been a huge fan of yours and have been for years(even in the hard times). Kathy Picknell is my mom's physical theripist. You have inspired me to never give up and to keep on going and no matter what, never quit. I play ASA softall and play drums. I hope you like it better at Miami (especially the weather) and hope you play well. I have a "tradition I do every year. I go and donate $50 to a family in need during the holidays. It really feels great doing for someone in need.

--Lauren Bowman - Pleasant Hill, OR
A) Not giving up is a great life lesson. It sounds like you are learning it at a young age. Good for you. Keep up your involvement in sports and music. You will benefit from both. Your mom is going to a great physical therapist. I still see Kathy when I am in Oregon. Good luck.
Q) No Question. Just wishing you much success. As a Lions Fan I personally wish you were still around but understand why you needed to move on. God bless you. David Dusenberry

--David Dusenberry - WHITEHALL, MI
A) Thanks for the support. I am feeling great about where I am right now. All the best -
Q) Joey, This is more of a comment than a question, but I wanted to tell you personally that you played an OUTSTANDING game today against the Bears! I am a major fan of yours and of the Miami Dolphins, as I have been my entire life! I am very proud of you and the team's accomplishment in defeating and stopping the Bear's Undefeated Season! Excellent Plays Bro!! -James Majors, Miami Florida P.S.- I hope you received my letter I sent to you at the Dolphin's Training Camp! I look forward to hearing from you.

--James Majors - Miami, FL
A) Thanks. It was a good win for us and something we really needed. It certainly was a lot of fun and I hope the beginning of a strong run of games for us in the second half of the season.
Q) ok..... what a thrill of a game today to take down the bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as always you make my heart happy:) being an oregon duck , and following your career from the beginning at the university, i am so deeply proud of you and all of your accomplishments on the field and off. joey, i am a mom of two soldiers { one is my son in law } both have served in iraq, they follow your career with such enthusiasm. my son in law is heading to aphganistan in the early spring for his second tour.

A) It's always nice to hear from people in Eugene. Sunday felt like a lot of the games from the past in Eugene. Thanks for your support. I wish the best for your boys and hope they stay safe.
