What a whiner and crybaby old man is Don Shula. I mean really Don, get over it.
No matter how good the Patriots do in 2007-2008 it doesnt effect how good you were. You are still as good as you were before the "perfect season" of the Pats.
You are embarassing yourself and football generally by your whining about spygate, etc.
PS: If your best team ever played the 2007 Pats, you would lose by 50-3. At least.
This is, like, something to do with sports, right? Zot, people can be bats.
I don’t remember all of the specifics, but didn’t the Dolphins face only losing opponents during their run?
Certainly they didn’t beat the same relative caliber of opponents. . .
Yeah, Spygate was terrible, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t have any significant impact on the Pats record.
I’m not a Pats fan, but even I can recognize this.
And if they did only one thing this year at least they shut the Dolphin’s the hell up. We can go forward knowing that we won’t be facing potential champagne corks every time a team goes 3-0 and loses their fourth. . . Ugh.
I just wish the Fish had lost that one game for another “perfect” season this year. The irony would have been almost unbearable.
While whining may be unseemly, I doubt that the score would be 50-3. As with many things, its impossible to compare teams separated by time.
Their coach, Don Shula, says "going undefeated during the regular season is a remarkable achievement."
Shula says the Pats "have done a great job concentrating on each week's opponent and not letting any other distractions interrupt that focus. If they go on to complete an undefeated season, I will be the first to congratulate Coach Belichick and the Patriot organization."
Any problem with it?
both the NBA and NFL players of 30 years ago look like high school stick figures compared with todays athletes.
I doubt the undefeated dolphins could even win the 2008 NCAA
I have no love for the Pats, but I agree. The arrogance of the Dolphins was ridiculous. Glad it is over.
True. It's sort of like saying, "What would happen if the Zulus fought the Sioux."
yeah he did say that. right after he brought up spygate again. plus he looked like a whiner when he said it. The whole thing sounded backhanded to me. He should have been more gracious and congratulatory. If the pats lose the superbowl he can be smug then.
hey: you ever been to any of his Shula steak houses? are they any good? the menu mentions the undefeated dolphs i hear. Guess he will have to change it now. LOL
That's easy. Zulus. they were an army. sioux were a small number of raiders. No contest.
Proportionally, of course.
But the Sioux rode horses and used rifles.
“...you ever been to any of his Shula steak houses?”
Yeah, been to the one in Balto. Great atmosphere. Food was OK.
Why? The '72 Dolphins are still undefeated. All the way through the Super Bowl.
Well DUH!!!! A bunch of 50 and 60 year old guys playing football?
Mark
And the Zulus in modern times totally drove the African National Congress crazy during South Africa’s apartheid days, because the Zulus would have fought to the last person.
I think Shula has become classy about it, but some of the others, e.g. Mercury Morris, have been whiny bi-—es.
Compare that with the Maris family when McGwire broke the HR record or...heck...practically anyone else when a record is broken.
You might want to post what it is you are talking about, rather than just toss something out there from nowhere. I know Shula made an idiot of himself earlier in the season, but what are you talking about now?
Now you are just being mean. :-)
But, in the Irony Department, what was the last regular season opponent that the New England Patriots lost to before having a perfect regular season record?
