    35 years ago:
    Dec. 16th 1972 Miami's RB Mercury Morris helps lead the Dolphins to a 16-0 victory over the Baltimore Colts and Miami finishes the regular season a perfect 14-0. This is a prelude, of course, to Miami beating the Redskins 14-7 in Superbowl VII to end a perfect 17-0. (A side note for this incredible run that isn't talked about much is that the AFC championship game was played IN Pittsburgh not in Miami. The playoffs were set up differently then.

    25 years ago:
    Dec. 12th 1982 Ex-con Mark Henderson was instructed by New England coach Ron Meyer to sweep a path with his John Deere model 314 snow plow for a game winning 3-0 field goal against Miami. This moment will be imortalized in an interactive feature feature in the Hall at Patriot Place when it opens in 2008 at Gillete stadium.

    I wonder if the NFL didn't destroy their cheating spy footage if that would have been shown proudly in their Hall of shame as well. They could make a new wing for all of the Patricheats "accomplishments" - how but the "tuck rule"?

    I can't believe I'm actually saying this (or typing) but J E T S JETS JETS JETS.

    Tell me about it. You would have thought there was a rule or something back then that would have disallowed the clearing of the snow. Well maybe today, the jets can knock them off in the same fashion. I say lets go JETS.

    On a similar note, I'm praying for the NFC to win the SB this year !!! ;)

    Even if the Patsie's go undefeated in the regular season I see them losing to the Colts in the playoffs. That would be perfect/unperfect.

    WOW ! The Infamous SNOWPLOW GAME at Foxboro Stadium. I was 13 years old and watched that game. This is the ONLY game to cheer for the JETS !
