Don Shula has been in the media saying that if the Patriots go undefeated, they should get an asterisk by their name for cheating. I know that the members of the 72 Dolphins are clinging to that accomplishment with the tenacity of a pit bull, but this is just ridiculous. I hate the Pats as much as anybody, but there isn't anyone in the world who can honestly say that they wouldn't have won any of their games anyway. I'm more than a little disappointed in Shula because I had always thought of him as a classy guy, but this is just pathetic. The Pats or anybody else going undefeated in no way tarnishes what the Dolphins did, so I really don't understand the seemingly great amount of concern with anybody else having a perfect season.
And so my first ever Get Over Yourself award goes to Don Shula.

1972 Miami Dolphin's
Opponents' record: 70-108-4 (.396)*
Here's the asterix if any is needed. Dolphins had one of the weakest regular season schedules ever in the history of the NFL.
Believe it or not, the Redskins were favored against the Dolphins in the Super Bowl. That shows you how much respect the Dolphins were getting at the time due to their weakness of schedule.
Conversely the Patriots were pegged to have the NFL's 3rd hardest schedule based on last years standings. Behind the Raiders and Bills (the Patriots don't have to play themselves apparently is why they don't have the hardest schedule in the NFL.
