Here is an interesting article from last year for ya Scippy....... ;)


My word, what a lot of sour grapes.  Mr. Margalas must have to sleep standing up, to keep all that bile from backing into his esophagus and giving him a nasty burning throat.

He also seems to come from a very negative viewpoint:  that, today's athletes have to face conditions so much more difficult and it is unlikely anyone will ever have a perfect season again.  He forgets that today's athletes face more difficult opposition, but are also themselves much more powerful and efficient.  I believe that there *will* be another perfect season.  And when there is, the newer team will have bragging rights in that their season is longer. 

I only hope that Miami clears itself of the last of Jimmy Johnson's foul stench on their great name -- by ditching Wannstedt -- in time for them to have a shot at being the second team to claim a perfect season.

I screamed at Huzienga over and over again that hiring Jimmy Johnson was a mistake.  But did Wayne listen to me?  No!  He chose to remain deaf to the sounds bouncing off of my TV screen. 

Quote
For your reference, I am not referring to Miami having lost their distinction as the only undefeated-in-a-season team tag.

I am talking about the fact that Miami, like 4 other teams, had the record of longest winning streak that spans 2 seasons.  As of the start of this season, the record was 18 games.

Oh, OK then.  My mistake.  I wasn't even cognizant of a two season streak being kept up with as a record.  In that case, congrats to New England for holding the longest two-season winning streak. Losing to the Dolphins when they face them a second time on December 20 would be a great late birthday present to me.  Until then, however, I don't even mind if they extend their streak with a few more games.

Only the easiest schedule in the NFL. The Dolphins? combined schedule amounted to 70-122-4. That means the Dolphins? average opponent won only 5 games that year during the regular season, which is not a gauntlet by any means.

Now considering the Dolphins played in the superbowl the year before losing to the Dallas Cowboys 24 - 3 this is an incredibly easy schedule, one that will likely never be duplicated in the era of salary caps and free agency.  This is not to say that Miami's feat in 1972 was not a great one, just that it is one of the most overrated ones.

The American people wont win regardless the result, just perhaps lose a bit less in one case......

He speaks the truth, my fair kitty...

Both teams claim to represent "America", and both teams got to the top through the same method, specifically the wanton spending of money.
Too bad the Cowboys can't use that trick anymore, with that salary cap and all...  Steinbrenner's just being forced to spend more $$$ than before, in luxury tax.  Obviously,  it is a cost he has passed down to the end customer (who, being in NY, can afford those outrageous prices...)

I thought that was the Atlanta Braves.... you know, the guys that can't fill a stadium even during a playoff game....::)

Congratulations on breaking up the winless season there Miami...

Luckily, it happened the same week the Patriots took the "official" NFL record for longest regular-season game winning streak... :D

I've been to buckhead, or should we say buckteeth, ain't nothing there that you can't find at a baseball game.

Now if you had been talking New Orleans and the French Quarter, or Vegas I'd have given you some slack, but Atlanta?  get real....... ;)
