Pop the champagne!

[EmperorPhin]

Enjoy it 72 phins has to be one of if it the earliest than all the undefeated teams have fallen

 

[DuderinoN703]

I'd rather the current team give us a reason to pop champagne.

Yaaay! The only thing left this organization has to hold on to happened during the Nixon administration!

 

[dolpns13]

I'd much rather the Bengals win

 

[DolfanAdam]

Well, although I really would've like to see the Bengals stay undefeated for another week, that's obviously not happening. So now it's time to come here and at least be happy with the one accomplishment we get to hang our hat on for another year. Way to go '72 Phins, 42 years and counting!

We are still celebrating something (more than our current teams) that happened the same month as the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_1973

* CBS sells the New York Yankees for $10 million to a 12-person syndicate led by George Steinbrenner (3.2 million dollars more than CBS bought the Yankees for).

* Elvis Presley's concert in Hawaii. The first worldwide telecast by an entertainer watched by more people than watched the Apollo moon landings.

* U.S. President Richard Nixon is inaugurated for his second term.[1]

* Roe v. Wade: The U.S. Supreme Court overturns state bans on abortion.

* George Foreman defeats Joe Frazier to win the heavyweight world boxing championship.

* U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War ends with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords.[1]


And this was the number 1 song in the country:

Damn, y'all are awfully pissy during the BYE.

It is really sad to think the Dolphins haven't won a superbowl since the early 70s... There are probably some people out there who were born that year that are grandparents today...

But then again, to say no other team has accomplished the same feat since then is pretty awesome.

To be honest, that just makes the accomplishment even more impressive.

To be honest, that just makes the accomplishment even more impressive.

It's great for the members of that team and the fans that cheered them on back then, but for fans such as myself that weren't even a speck of DNA in their father's sperm it's getting a bit tired to celebrate this feat. I have no connection to it, and all it serves to do is remind me how pathetic this team has been during my lifetime. The Dolphins haven't even been to a Superbowl since I was in diapers...

Look on the bright side: The Jets are waiting even longer and the Bills never won the Superbowl.
