DAVIE, Fla. -- Last Friday, as the Miami Dolphins prepared to leave for their road trip to Green Bay, linebacker Kiko Alonso expressed his frustration.
Not about facing the Packers -- about a pregame ritual he would have difficulty following in Appleton, Wisconsin.
All season, oysters have been on Alonso's pregame menu -- typically on Fridays for home games and Saturdays for road games.
When he’s in Miami, Alonso gets them from Finster Murphy’s in Fort Lauderdale. On the road, he finds a steakhouse with good oysters or a fish market.
The task is a little more difficult in northern Wisconsin in November.
