Next Tuesday, they will visit the White House, because they didn't visit after the last time they won, due to the Red Coats burning down Washington DC.

Oh how times have changed. We dropped the red coats after it made us easy targets. That and its called arson nowadays. sidenote: Shouldnt have made it so flammable. See 3 little pigs and big bad wolf. Will Jake Scott attend? That's what i want to know!
Very nice. This may be the Dolphins' only chance to visit the White House anytime soon. (I hope I have to stop making these kinds of jokes soon)
WH has invited mods from the site for visits before. Unfortunately hard for us to all travel simultaneously so we just always decline. Sent from my HTC One GE using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Always wanted the Dolphins to visit the white house, kinda wanted it to be after they won the super bowl but this is cool non the less
Jake was a hard nut to crack .Its only recently that he realized life is short and that he should enjoy the companionship of his 72 team mates before its too late.The bitteness fades with time.It gets to a point where you wonder why you were so upset with the people that were closest to you.
I'm sure Obama will tell Shula he is lucky that the Bears 85 team went up against Marino on that fateful Monday night to preserve the perfect record. Then I hope Dan himself comes out from a dark corner of the room to rifle a pass at Obama's head. Wait what?

You all know the conspiracy of why they didn't go to the White House in '72 right? Nixon was a HUGE Redskins fan. Sent a play to them, predicted they would beat the Dolphins, etc. etc. Do the math.
Yeah, didn't I read a year or two back (maybe Hyde wrote the article) that Jake and Shula sort of smoothed things over a bit? It sure would be great to de-thaw Zonk out of whatever glacier he's frozen in up in the 49th State and chopper Jake out of his Hawaiian hut to do the White House celebration up-right. I'm glad for these boys that they get the opportunity, and every year that goes by makes their feat more and more amazing. The huddled masses need to be reminded one more time: '72 DOLPHINS - UNDEFEATED!!!
I thought it was the other way around and he gave the Dolphins a play. It was even mentioned on a recent Finsiders.
