Don Shula slings mud at Patriots' perfect record

[CatWoman]

The Hall of Fame former Dolphins coach claimed to the New York Daily News that because the Pats were caught filming the New York Jets defensive signals from the sidelines in the season opener – a violation of league rules – that a 19-0 season would be marred and that an asterisk could be attached to it.

"The Spygate thing has diminished what they've accomplished," Shula told the paper. "You would hate to have that attached to your accomplishments. They've got it."

1. Right. The Pats REALLY needed the advantage to beat the Jets.

The same Jets that are stampeding through their competition at 1-8.

4. Where have I heard that before?

Does anyone really believe that the Pats would have lost that game if they hadn't been videotaping? I mean, REALLY?

5. I would find it hard to believe that this was an isolated incident of filming.

But, yeah, like *, the Pats might take the rules seriously is they faced actual consequences for breaking them.

6. Typical Dolphins class. Of course, these are the same guys

('72 team veterans) who stand on the sidelines at games of teams going for perfect seasons, and pop the corks on their champagne bottles when the team inevitably goes down to defeat... :eyes:

Talk about some people that need to get a life!

10. I think that's a myth.

A number of players on the '72 team have dismissed that story.

7. Every other team out there videotapes opponents as well

anybody who believes otherwise is naive.

8. Methinks he is a tad envious.

What, that pristine 16-0 undefeated season of the Dolphins is in jeopardy? Is the entire football world supposed to fellate Don Shula for the rest of his life?
