Delighted Dolphins

The 1972 Miami Dolphins are happy to remain the only undefeated champions in NFL history.

"It goes to show you how tough it is to go undefeated through an entire season," offensive lineman Larry Little said last night. "Over the years, people have been putting us down, calling us grumpy old men. We never wanted to see the Patriots, or any other team, lose. We are just happy about our accomplishments. We're a very proud football team."

"I don't take joy," tight end Jim Mandich said, "in the fact the Patriots lost. But I do relish and savor the fact that there has only been one unbeaten team in the history of the NFL, and it is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Of that, I am extremely proud."

"We were never against the New England Patriots," said running Jim Kiick. "We're not comparing ourselves to anyone else from other gneerations. We're happy with our own accomplishments."
