The only guy I like from that team is Bob Griese. I felt bad for him a couple of weeks ago when he was on ESPN with that idiot Morris. He looked extremely uncomfortable as Morris was rambling on.
If Griese wasn't a Disney/ABC/ESPN employee I'm sure he would not have been part of that mess.
I have to agree with you on that. Even though a number of the "72-ers" have made a few snide remarks here and there, this guy (Morris) seems to be making the biggest fool of himself (next to Shula).

I never liked Shula and the last few months have made me dislike him even more. Morris is a joke. Did you see his "rap" on SportCenter a few weeks ago?
I have been wanting to see that rap does anybody know where online i can see it?
LOL that is hysterical best part if you wanna go undefeated you have to win every game.
Wow that took alot of thought how hard do you think the sports casters laughed after the show?
That quote was hysterical. Who would have thought that you need to win every game to go undefeated?
Unable to hold his jubilant glee, and maintain his "professionalism"
I think they're all a bunch of pathetic old geezers. I can't wait to watch them piss their depends when the Pats steal their precious record.

Nick Bouniconti was one of the reasons I became a Pats fan. When there just were not many of us back in the '60s.
Undersized, he played his heart out, and was a many time AFL ALL-star. It was his heady leadership, blitzing ability from the MLB position, that made his as good as any LB in pro football. He continued that way until Butkus came in half way through his career. And Tedy Bruschi at his best resembes his play, and Team spirit, except Nick was much better.
When Cleve Rush was hired as a Coach, replacing Mike Holovak, he traded Nick to Miami for a bundle of players, none of whom were worth a bucket of warm spit.
It was like trading Brian Urlacher for Hank Poteat, Justin Rodgers, Cedric Cobb and player to be named later. Don Shula new to the Phish, stole the Pat's doofus blind. Nick provided the veteran leadership that solidified the Dolphins expansion Defense. There were others who got the notriety, but the original 'Killer B" was Nick.
Wthout him the Phish never would have gone 17-0
He became a lawyer while with the Pats studying at Suffolk U and after his son got hurt he has done great chritable work in founding and funding the research that is conquering paralysis.
He has gotten elected to the Hall of Fame and is one of three ex-Pats to do so.
That kid up in Buffalo is walking today thanks to Nick Bouniconti.
Thank You and now ... GO AWAY! :rocker:
Who in their right mind would expect an alum to hold his tongue in an extreme situation like that?
They are still competing, don't you see? Do you think guys don't want to compete just because they're retired? The networks know who they're hiring to do games, and it's no surprise that competitive ex-players would have a reaction like that.
For me, it is Nick Buonticounti. For some reason the guy just rubs me the wrong way. I realize he played for the Pats. Never cared for him on HBO's "Inside the NFL", especially when the last undefeated team in any season would lose. I will never forget in 1983, when Dallas was 7-0, and lost to San Diego, I believe. Unable to hold his jubilant glee, and maintain his "professionalism", he threw up his hands in the air, and made a remark something to the extent "I love it, and the Miami perfect season is saved, Thank Goodness". I don't know, maybe there are worse ones than him, I guess.
