SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Mike Shula was 7 when his dad was being called a genius after the 1972 Miami Dolphins completed a perfect season with a victory in Super Bowl VII.
The Carolina Panthers' offensive coordinator remembers little about the title game, other than his mom gave him a new transistor radio that day.
Oh, and that it was red.
"That was awesome," said Shula, the son of legendary coach Don Shula. "I could listen to the game I was watching."
Fast-forward to Super Bowl 50 on Sunday between the Panthers and Denver Broncos.
