Upon my search, I came across Don Shula's Wikipedia entry. Don Shula, for the blissfully ignorant, led the 1972 Miami Dolphins to an undefeated season, going 17-0 en route to win Super Bowl VII. It remains as the NFL's only perfect season, as long as the Pats don't join them.
So, I read on the profile, not expecting to read much... but Wikipedia's always good for a miscue or two. Boy, there were a few...
It starts mildly enough. A possible typo about Shula's GPA in college. Heck, a 1.9 GPA... it's crazy enough to be true - and just looks crappy because of the grammar.
Clearly, Shula's not the most decorated coach in NFL history. And Shula did criticize the Pats for Spygate and tampering when he also took part in a controversial move to take over the Dolphins. BUT, his perfect season didn't occur before he became the coach of the Miami Dolphins. So this comment stands out.
Somehow, Shula doesn't strike me as the cheerleader/assistant trainer type.
...and we now might have an association to the "author." I presume it's a friend of Collier's son.
You heard it here first, folks. Marino NEVER won a Super Bowl because of Shula.
Ah... a second reference to Shula's references to the perfect season. Perhaps Collier's friend, a Pats fan, has heard about it one too many times.
Did OJ's Bronco pre-empt that programming? I missed that.
Ok, this one's just plain mean. Like Boston fan mean.So there's a good chance Shula's Wikipedia entry will change - and if the Pats continue their march toward to perfection, it could get more entertaining.
