Former Dolphins coach Don Shula hospitalized with breathing issues

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.

"The family is looking for a speedy recovery," Mary Anna Shula stated.

Shula is being kept in the hospital for observation as a precaution. According to his family, he is alert and in good spirits.
