Don Shula has passed away (Dolphins will wear memorial patch)

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fake plant though. And Shula probably knew that. Not that I think he would have used it even if that wasn't the case.

Good point.

I hope when this corona junk is gone, we can all get together and celebrate Shula's life. So many of us wouldn't be fans of this team if it weren't for that man and the amazing job he did.

A video on Shula's life and career.
Done a few years ago and I haven't seen it posted unless in an old thread.
Well worth the time to watch.

I already have my white Csonka throwback, white Fernandez throwback and aqua Buoniconti throwback. Not sure what number I'll customize this one with.

347 comes to mind very quickly if they would do it.

I've posted here (now) more than anytime over the years. But I have to agree with all that said 2020 sucks. I'm going to go back a bit farther and let ya'll know my father died right about the same exact time that Drake was entering the endzone in the miracle in Miami. I've kept it to myself all this time. I'd like to think he might have had a little to do with it :up:.
Anyway, Shula passing has been tough on me even now. I always wanted to meet him, just never had the chance. My hat is off to all of you that did.
Well, two of my hero's are now gone. Getting old sucks.

Sorry about your father Hab. God Bless you.

2020 has definitely sucked but it's been a walk in the park for me compared to 2019. Like you, I lost my dad last March after a brief illness. Then 2 weeks after my dad passed my girlfriend of 2 1/2 yrs. that not too long before that I thought I would marry, told me, "Sorry it's over." So 2020 is simply an annoyance at this point. I used to take football very seriously when I was younger and let losses affect me way too much but as I got older that gradually subsided because in the grand scheme of things it's not that important. Not to say I still don't enjoy the wins and anticipate the bright future but I don't let a game affect me that much any more.

And it's almost like Shula's passing is already old news out there. Hell, it took that stupid "Good Morning Football" show on the NFL Network 45 minutes to even mention it this morning and I don't know if it was even mentioned on Total Access tonight. Even on this board the "Charles Harris Traded" thread has more replies than this one about Coach Shula passing away.

I’m sorry for your losses too Smoky.

 

[GBpackers10]

I would gladly camp out near Shula’s grave and beat down anyone that would try to disrespect it..

All of us Packer fans have your backs. That comment by the Jet fan ticked me off.

 

[GBpackers10]

I'm well, thank you. Still not liking the whole "being your own parent" thing, but such is life. (And yeah, there was a wee bit of favoritism.)

Stay safe!

You stay safe and healthy too bud.

I don't think my stomach is quite THAT big to handle three digits!

I swear I've seen a 347 Dolphins Jersey as well as a 17-0. Don't know how they were made but I've seen them somewhere.

This had to be a great moment for Shula. Finally a Champion.
