A Perfect Sunday

Well the Patriots have one last team to spy on this year, they can peep the UNDEFEATED '72 Dolphins pop their annual bottles of celebratory champaign. I've been waiting all season to write about this, and now I can. While I would have had no issues with the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, I am tired of the Dolphins getting blasted for celebrating each year when an undefeated team has it's first loss. I do not feel this is in anyway classless. I am sure that anyone of these players would be the first to congratulate a player for besting one of their individual records.

But the undefeated season is a team accomplishment , it sets them apart from every other team ever, (except the 15-0 1948 Browns), more importantly it keeps their bond strong. These guys love getting together every year to celebrate their accomplishment, and I don't blame them for not wanting that to end.

I also believe the Patriots will have Coach Shula and his boys worried again next year. Until then Great season New England, but not good enough.

I love the new commercial where Eli Manning sends the Dolphins the game ball, while they are playing football in the front yard.
