Legendary Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula has been hospitalized because of breathing issues.

Shula, the Hall of Fame inductee who owns the NFL's all-time wins record, was rushed to Aventura hospital Monday evening.

According to his wife, Mary Anne Shula, the 86-year-old was transported to the hospital due to fluid retention and sleep apnea, a disorder that disrupts breathing while some sleeps.
