Here they are: the only undefeated NFL champion... the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The New England Patriots this year (2007) are playing fine football and are 12-0 so far. They play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Many, me included, liken the Patriots to the "Empire" from Star Wars. Who roots for Darth Vader anyways? Bill Bellichick and his boys are taking the league by storm (troopers) and only time will tell if they will join (or surpass) the 1972 Dolphins.
If the Patriots do lose, then the Dolphin players will gather with their old coach (Don Shula) and toast their perfect 1972 season as they do each year when the last undefeated team gets beaten. They toast the fact that they are the O-N-L-Y team to have a perfect record.
Will 2007 allow the Patriots to join the Dolphins on the "perfect" list? Stay tuned.
