As the Patriots keep piling up the wins, the talk of an elusive undefeated season grows louder. Now, I am not a Pats fan, so I really don’t care if they go undefeated. But there will be one benefit when a team finally conquers this task: we will not have to hear from the 1972 Miami Dolphins again. Every time a team gets close to a perfect season, this aging group of babies can be seen and heard in the media griping about it. If the Patriots were to lose, the sight of Nick Buonticonti and his fellow ‘72 Dolphins sipping champagne might push me over the edge. The Dolphins perfect season was a remarkable feat, (although they did it without beating one playoff-bound team through the entire regular season) but records are made to be broken. The ‘72 team should take a tip from Hank Aaron or many of the other great athletes whose records have fallen. Show a little class, tip your hat, and have some respect for the accomplishment you know is so tough to achieve.

you’re right. the remaining members of the greatest…the greatest gridiron team to ever suit up, should tip their hats to the SECOND team to go undefeafted. however, the only tip they would get from me is, SPYIN’ AIN’T EASY! of course other teams do it, but they didn’t get caught. new england did & while they were punished, they got off easy. don shula’s original assessment; that there should be an asterisk beside their name if they go undefeated, is one he should have stuck to & one i concur with.
