The Dolphins would've been Joe Theismann's team at this point if he hadn't opted for the CFL after being drafted by the Dolphins in 74'. According to Paul McGuire, Shula gave Theismann the cold shoulder for the rest of time.

I don't think George Allen really like Theismann much, either. It really wasn't until Pardee came in that Joe got a chance to consistently play.

Griese and Zsonka. Reminded me of when I started watching football 1972. I don't watch it anymore for a dozen reasons. Russ Francis got to win a Superbowl with a winning team the 1984 49ers season. One of Joe Montana's favorite targets.

Miss those old uniforms.

Pats at Dolphins 2 straight years on ABC's MNF (or Thursday whichever)! A year later, on December 8, 1980, Howard Cosell broke the tragic news of John Lennon:s death! 😢
