Is there any more annoying and insufferable group of people in the world than the 1972 Dolphins?
We get it. You went 14-0. You were awesome. You're the best. No one else will ever be as good as you. You're the fucking 1976 Reds of football.
Enough.
Thanks to John, and others, for reminders like these:
ReplyDeleteShula's remarks are pretty ballsy, coming from a coach who had one of the weakest schedules in NFL history. I think he has little to stand on when the Dolphins' opponents had a collective .396 opponents record (which doesn't include the losses to the Dolphins). And lets not forget they faced only 2 teams in the regular season that had winning records, plus those stellar playoff wins by 6 points, 4 points, and 7 points.
