Random thought, not sure if this was ever touched on.  I know this is an extreme "if", but if the Dolphins were the next team to have, or flirt with, a perfect season, would Mercury Morris and the gang still have the champagne on ice in hopes for a Miami loss?  1972.  Is it about THEM or the TEAM?


thoughts?

Good question, but in general, I'd think that the '72 team would be okay with it if it were the Dolphins going undefeated...again.

Pretty sure I read that some where. I think it was during the New England run.

I have heard him say "yes", that he would hope for a Dolphins loss.  That strikes me as super-duper dumb for him.  If the Fins went undefeated again, he'd be a superstar.  They'd be toting all of those old guys out with the new ones in dual ceremonies and he'd get his hayday all over again.  He'd be a legend to the city.

This was posed some time ago, probably in 2007, but I suspect Merc would feign happiness but really be more upset.  I somehow even doubt the feigning happiness part of it.  But, if he was publicly upset, he'd have even Dolphins' fans turn on him.  Dumb move for him.

Not just Merc, any of them I guess

I can't get past the unbelievable nature of the hypothetical.  Wink

haha yes.  hence why I said "it's a pretty big IF"  I realize there's a 0.000001% chance of this happening
