The point is absolutely correct. No one is arguing that. In fact, I haven't heard ANYONE out of 300+ million American's argue that what the Pats have done (so far) outranks the 1972 Dolphins.

So why is Shula flying to games on Monday Nights in Baltimore, being interviewed during halftime of every Patriots game and faxing statements to the media on the night of the Patriots 16th win? Why are we getting Mercury Morris' FredEx Gong Show every few minutes? We got the point months ago. At this time, they are merely hogging spotlight.

Hank Aaron and the Maris family handled their situations with class and dignity. When Peyton Manning broke Dan Marino's season TD record in 2004, Marino did also.

Don Shula and many of the '72 Dolphins could learn much from those examples.

because 72' fins are a bunch of jackasses. it's that simple. but that doesnt mean they're being their usual jackass selves by not conceding a perfect regular season = perfect season. because it doesnt

Shoving 19-0 down the throats of people like you - make it all that much sweeter.

This is hilarious coming from you NTC. I suggest you "get with the program" and actually READ what Reiss said instead of showing yourself to be stupid, yet again. Reiss wasn't ripping Shula for saying that the Pats haven't had a perfect season. Reiss ripped Shula for being so damn condescending about what's been accomplished so far. To the extent that he had quotes typed up and ready to hand out to the press PRIOR to the game between the Pats and Giants even being over.

What arrogance have the Patriots shown? Seriously? WTF are you talking about? Do you even know what the word ARROGANCE means?

As for the fans, I hate to tell you this, chumly, but in regards to arrogance, Pats fans are well behind the fans of the Chargers, Raiders, Colts, and Cowboys. You'd know that if you had a damn clue about anything.

As for Cris Collinsworth, you must have him confused with someone else because he's so NOT on the Pats bandwagon its not even funny.

Where do you live? Admittedly, it's been a few years since I've lived back home but out here in New Mexico I've yet to meet an arrogant Pats' fan.

Skiing in Durango the weekend before Chirstmas, I was harrassed by the fans of several other teams (mostly Broncos, Raiders and Cowboys). Arrogance? Only in your imaginary world.

You really should keep your mouth shut. Particularly when it comes to accusing fans of other teams of being bandwagoners.

What morons like yourself don't realize is that there have been Pats fans rooting for this team since they began playing in the AFL. That fan nation has grown every year. Yes, there were some that jumped off during the low years of 1-15 and 2-14, but many came back when Parcells was hired. And, since you missed it, the Pats have sold out every game since 1993 and their waiting list for season tickets is the longest in NFL history outside of Green Bay.
