Dolphins fan: The ’72 Dolphins are the greatest team ever

Going undefeated in the NFL has only been done one time, and sure enough it was the Miami Dolphins. The feat has become much harder this century because of the extended schedule, adding five games. But don’t let that take away their fame.

My least favorite part of the NFL season is when Mercury Morris is shown on ESPN talking about the ’72 Dolphins season and how great it was. This usually falls right around week ten after the last team receives their first loss.

Did you know the players left from the undefeated team actually get together and toast champagne every year following another season of no team matching their achievement?

If you think the team is humble about that season, then see the picture featured at the top of this post.

Here is a post from theheckler.com detailing Mercury Morris’ statement about the team:

"“For a while we only did this after the last remaining undefeated NFL team dropped a game each season,” said Mercury Morris, the who’s only claim to fame and reason for living is having served as a running back on the ’72 Dolphins. “But then we realized we could get a lot more publicity if we celebrated every time the last team in any league wasn’t going to go undefeated. It keeps us busy and makes things much more interesting.”"

A publicity stunt from start to finish.

Kid around about the Dolphins to a fan, and you will be sure to hear about the 1972 team.
