<div> AHHHHHHHHH...those good ole dolphins of 72...hmmm let's take a peek at 'em. it's only fair since shula wants the pats to have an asterisk if they go undefeated...but first, even if there does end up being an asterisk, someone remind shula that the scandal took place in week 1...which would still leave the pats with a better undefeated record(minus the jets game)...now onto reality shula...BURIED IN THE HISTORY OF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS LIES THE SCANDAL THAT STARTED THE ENTIRE DEBATE ...IT JUST WASN'T A DEBATE TIL NOW, BECAUSE THE FINS KNOW THEIR LEGACY IS BEING THREATENED BY THE ALMIGHTY PATRIOTS... <span class="mw-headline">The 1970s: The Perfect Season and the Super Bowl Titles</span></p> The Dolphins had a combined 15-39-2 record in its first four seasons when Shula, a former Paul Brown disciple who had been lured from the Baltimore Colts after first losing Super Bowl III two seasons earlier to the AFL's New York Jets and finishing 8-5-1 the following season, was hired as head coach. The Colts charged the Dolphins with tampering in gaining Shula, which cost them their first round draft pick in 1970. Shula introduced himself to the Miami press by saying that he didn't have any magic formulas and that the only way he knew to make his teams successful was through hard work.</p> HOW IRONIC...LOL</p> </div>
Lets talk history, shall we? They are <u>headed for what s/b</u> <u>only the 9th losing season in 41 seasons</u>. Even, when you throw in the the three 500 seasons, they <u>still have a winning record 7 times every decade</u>.</p> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Dolphin...-season_records</p> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21655235/</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Spygate thing has diminished what they've accomplished. You would hate to have that attached to your accomplishments. They've got it... You have to acknowledge what they accomplished, but I don't know how you disregard Spygate,...</p> <p class="textBodyBlack">Shula does acknowledge that the Patriots, who are now 9-0 after rallying to win at Indianapolis on Sunday, " look so good. I think they got a real shot at doing it."</div></p> Shula IMO sounds grudgingly complimentary. I think he's wise enough to know that records are made to be broken.</p>
