'72 Miami Dolphins Still Celebrating Or Are They?

With the Indianapolis Colts losing this past weekend, the '72 Dolphins can continue to parade their undefeated season, the only one in NFL history of course.

Nick Buoniconti says it's ''preposterous'' how some people nationally believe the undefeated '72 Dolphins get together as a team to celebrate the last unbeaten team losing. Buoniconti says there has been no toast since Indianapolis lost Sunday and there won't be one until Dick Anderson joins the Dolphins Honor Roll Dec. 3.

Most years, Buoniconti said only he and Anderson do a toast. ''I know guys like Jim Rome criticize us,'' Buoniconti said. ''Why is there so much animosity toward the '72 team?'' His response to Rome? ''Hey pal, stick it in your [behind].''

Nice way to show a little class, yes the '72 Dolphins were the only undefeated team and as we all know it's not an easy thing to do. However, one must admit, the NFL has so much parity these days that there will most likely never be another undefeated team, never say never, but the odds are definitely stacked against it.
