Miami Fl. (AP) (Super Bowl Sunday 2007)
In what can only be called a story book ending, The Miami Dolphins today capped off a roller coaster season with a finish that hasn’t been seen in professional sports since this same storied franchise completed the finest season any sports franchise ever had. In 1972 that season was perfection. The 2006 season started out as anything but perfection. In a resurrection that hasn’t been seen since the days that Jesus Roamed this earth, Nick Saban and his mighty Dolphins rose from the ashes of disaster to claim the most coveted position in all of professional sports. The title of Champions of the word. Not just any world but the NFL world. And if that wasn’t amazing enough, they did it on their home field for the first time since the inception of the Super Bowl.
It was only a few short weeks ago that the city of Miami and Dolphin fans across the world were calling for the head of Nick Saban to be served up on a platter to be disposed of on the altar of failed coaches past. Once claimed the savior by some, he was being hailed a might failure by most. Yet it was Saban that never wavered. It was Saban that spent tireless hours in the film room away from his shopaholic wife and mall happy children surviving only on little Debbie cookies and Tiki punch. While others scoffed and the media laughed him off as the daft professor Frankenstein, but still there were his players. Grown men who seemed to know better yet they followed him into the very fires of hell. Grown men filled with doubt and fear yet they trusted the mad professor with their future hopes and dreams. And it was Saban who delivered these same men a memory that will be passed on to their children and their children’s children. That memory is Victory! That memory is satisfaction. Sure others will write of the stats, the on field achievements and statistical numbers of this day but for those of us who witnessed this first hand: We choose to remember the sheer miracle of this day, the absolute “amazingness“of what was witnessed here today. We choose to remember the two most amazing stories in sports history and now both belong to the Miami Dolphins.
.... I need more scotch.
