Mercury Morris on the undefeated season

[davidberry1972]

Morris kicks ass! Its the 0 in the loss column that matters at the end of the season and the fact is the 72 dolphins have the only 0 in the loss column. The 07 patriots go 18-1 with no superbowl victory equals the biggest loss in football history, even worse than the buffalo bills who lost 4 straight superbowls!!!!

[stell29]

That reporter seems to be laughing nervously. I think Mercury was kind of freaking her out...understandably, the guy is a tool

[Kako9482]

Hes too funny

[SuperDroogie187]

Anyone who wants to put any kind of asterisk on the 72 Dolphins for whatever reason (eg, "schedule strenght", Garo Yepremian, etc.), needs to remember this Parcellsism:

You are what your record says you are!

[arty1675462]

People hate on this man and say this is all he has to live for. To those people I ask them have you ever played any pro sports? Do YOU have a superbowl? nopppe. so for him to put their undefeated season on a peddle stool I can't hate on them

[cellmeplz]

The Fools lost a 1st round pick for cheating when they won the superbowl. so i guess they are just a 17-0* team.

[PhunkyAnastasio22]

Hes cocky...yeah, GREAT accomplishment...but seriously, Brett Favre has accomplished many amazing things and you don't see him bashing other great players...

[spartanquail57]

he has the right to be cocky

[PhunkyAnastasio22]

To be proud and recognized as a great player, yes. But not cocky.

[Steve142222]

This is terrible ... Mercury Morris is obviously a little "slow" mentally, but people are taking his comments seriously. Give him a break. Growing up we let the mentally challenged like Mercury take classes in different buildings, ride special buses to school, but yet we are willing to hold him accountable for his public comments?! It's just not right. Of course he's not going to make sense, and of course he may say ridiculous things like the '72 Dolphins could beat this year's Pats. It's OK!

[KingmanIII]

He doesn't sound "slow." Pretty articulate, actually.

But yeah, he is a world-class jackass.

[sublimeade]

who is this girl? she sucks as a reporter - knows crap about football. at least Morris can carry the interview.

[revlooshun1]

i dont hate the pats, i hate that everybody jumped on their wagon. i thought they'd win it, but i hoped against it. now i'm happy. the 72 dolphins win again!!!

[mikeycereal]

Mercury never pissed me off. The idiots that kept asking "can the patriots go undefeated" over and over and OVER and OVER again pissed me off! Giants shut everyone's damn mouth. All that 19-0 merchandise can burn with the morons who pre-ordered them!! LMAO

[berries1]

he used to piss me off. now he cracks me up. go mercury!!!

[Cyrenn]

All the haters eat SHIT! Mercury bitched slapped all of you haters LOL!

[braticuss]

Let it go Morris, let it go...

[stell29]

The rest of the 72 Dolphins and Coach Shula need to tell Mercury to finally shut the f**k up. He's making that team look like a bunch of bitter old has-beens who are mad the Patriots are going to join them in perfection. The 72 Dolphins did something special and have a lot of classy guys and great players and Mercury is just ruining that team's rep by constantly running his mouth about the Pats

[bankotsu82]

that is completely true

[audest79]

hey,

you band wagon stell29! your patroits lost

[stell29]

You're a loser. Get a clue

[kneez73]

good point.(liltony)

[liltony9144]

It doesn't matter if there was no free agency or only 17 games in a season. That's not the '72 Dolphins fault. And it's not the Patriots fault that they have to go through 19 to even get to the point of perfection.

[liltony9144]

Leave the guy alone. I think he's funny, and he adds a perpective that no one else really has. I hate to see everyone bad mouth him like prison comments, and his stats. Well, first of all, he was under Csonka's shadow, and second of all the guy cleaned up his act and he's an active anti-drug speaker.

[lowfat67]

Wow, Cocaine really F's up your brain.

[albinolintel]

lol, this guy needs to shut the eff up

[Rennpanzer]

Don't tell us and don't tell Merc. tell it to all the reporters that keep asking him for interveiws & sound bites.

[shady11486]

I hate the Patriots. Really. Actually, I'm not a big fan of many things from Boston. But Mercury Morris will make a Patriots victory much more tolerable. By the way, to old-man Morris still living in the past like football hasn't made any progress in the last 35 years:

- A team that's maintained its championship core in spite of free agency > A team that only had to play 4 teams with winning records en route to 17-0

- 19-0 > 17-0

- Shut the hell up.

[Ronaldhino3000]

This tool probably laced all that champagne he drank every year with some of that stuff he used to deal, cause he is a batty pseudo intellectual ranter that comes off as a washed up hack desperate for attention.

[elwoodcox]

Give him a break! He's having fun with it. The 85 Bears were probably better than either team.

[snapintoaslimjim5]

I hate this guy he always talks about how the Patriots will never equal up to the Doplhins 72 season but were are the Pats now, Bitch?

[Rennpanzer]

18-1

[earthpart3]

This is all pussies put. they still had the longest undefeated run in a season, regardless of a fluke catch and same bad reffing in the last game. Could the 72 dolphins go 18-0, 19-0? no one knows, but the pats still went one step further.

[Rennpanzer]

I'm not exactly sure how to respond to your first sentance because I can't figure out what it was supposed to mean. I will however ask you one question. Perfect season aside, do you think the Pats would rather have their 18-0 (per-Super Bowl) record or a 12-6 season with a ring? I'll say/type it again; No team in the history of the NFL has been better over the course on an entire season than the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Whether you like it or not, it's in the record books and it's a fact.

[earthpart3]

still, 18 games is more than 17 games, is it not?

[Rennpanzer]

indeed, it is. Who knows, if NE's one-and-only loss had come in week 5 or 13, perhaps there wouldn't have been as much made of all this, a little less pressure, and they may have won the SB. Whatever the case may be, Brady's back. So, maybe they'll do it this year. Allthough, it would be nice to se that record stand for as long as coach Shula's still around. After he passes away, I wouldn't mind seeing a different team go undefeated every season.

[troyterry2445]

1 game is still more than 0 games, is it not?

[earthpart3]

19 game season is still long than 17 games, is it not? Also, patriots didn't play a bunch of teams with awful records.

[troyterry2445]

yeah but they won the superbowl so that means they beat the best team in the league, they are worthy of the title best ever if other teams were so good they should've taken them out in the playoffs or the superbowl but that didn't happen the pats were a great team and if they would have gone undefeated they would have been regarded as the best but they failed to win the biggest game of the year to a team they had previously beaten so they cannot ever be considered as one of the best teams ever

[earthpart3]

@troyterry2445 18 is more than 17, is it not?

[troyterry2445]

1 is still more than 0, is it not?

[troyterry2445]

no they went a step backwards if they were so great bad reffing wouldn't have been an issue eli's play to tyree alone showed that the Giants were more hungry and deserved the title of best of 2007

[earthpart3]

@troyterry2445 Hungry enough to put a chokehold on seymour and get away with a play that should've been called dead. That's not sportsmanship, that's flat bullshit.

[Rennpanzer]

Good point! Where are the Patriots now?

[MVPsDad]

wow... this dude is so wack... there are 31 teams in 2007 that would have beaten that sub-par team in 72'

[danlaman]

His stats are pretty sh*t.

[Rennpanzer]

Dan Marino has said he'd trade all his stats & records for a Super Bowl ring. Mercury Morris has one of the only ones ever made with the word PERFECT engraved on it. So, talk and type all the crap you want about him or what he says when he's asked to give interveiws. Because, when you're a member of the only undefeated team in NFL history, what people say or write about you on the internet probably doesn't matter all that much.

[Kmurfie]

AMEN!!!!

[WSUguy98]

This guy talks so much shit considering his team opponents during the 1972 season had an overall combined losing record. That's like saying the U.S. Army fought and beat the U.S Air Force Junior ROTC. Anyway, he'll never give anybody credit. If his football talent was anywhere near his "jaw-jacking" talent, He would've had a long career. Instead, he went to prison, i'm told he was the original "Tossed salad man".

[agirard77]

it's nice to see the patriots dominating everyone...beautiful

[Rennpanzer]

Well, ALMOST everyone ;-)

[jrkenney]

What? If a tree falls down in the forest 35 years ago. I thought you gave up the drugs when you went to prison merc.
