As you may have heard, Don Shula, desperately clinging to the old Dolphin's perfect season in the face of the Patriot's near-inevitable crushing of all previous records, has recently stated that any such achievement this season should come with and asterisk. Sad. Pathetic really. Beyond the obvious fact that one video camera removed in the first quarter of the first game of the season has made no difference whatsoever, there is a certain air of hypocrisy. Mike Litke points out the fact that Miami's perfect team was created as a direct result of cheating.
I can see why Shula wants to take a punch at the Pats (missing widely and providing fuel for the angry men of Foxboro when they next visit with the Dolphins), but why do you suppose he aimed a shot at Roger Goodell? He all but called the commissioner a liar who had covered up even more serious crimes. Does Shula have some other agenda here? Is he deliberately trying to discredit this new commissioner? Or is he even aware of what it was that he said? Either way it is, as I said, sad. This asterisk leads to a footnote on an otherwise classy career.
