Pop the champagne, Mercury Morris. Don Shula is probably popping his own bottle in Heaven. Perfectville still only has a population of one: the 1972 Miami Dolphins. pic.twitter.com/b1FZHMPl8A

Part of what makes sports so great is records, and the 1972 Dolphins continue to live on for accomplishing something very rare, perfection. Perfection doesn’t exist much in sports, but when it does, it blows us away. The fact that the 1972 Dolphins season remains the only perfect one in history shows just how hard it is to win in the NFL.

Every year I root against a perfect season. Why? Because long standing records are fun, and I’d hate to see that one die any time soon.

Somewhere Don Shula is looking down and smiling because his Dolphins are still the only team ever to accomplish an undefeated season. Congrats to Shula, to Csonka, Bob Griese and every other member of the 1972 Dolphins.

Pop some champagne, you guys deserve it.
