Larry Csonka took to Twitter on Monday to express his sadness on the passing of his friend and coach, Don Shula, in a Tweet that reminded us of Shula’s integrity.
Indeed, it is hard to believe he is gone. Many Dolphins fans, mostly the older fans who remember the stoic jaw walking the sidelines as a head coach, thought he couldn’t die. The fact that age took its toll on the one man who embodied perfection was not fathomable. Once again, however, Father Time remains the only unbeaten.
Csonka has never minced words or bit his tongue so is it a surprise that in his social media farewell that he makes it a point to express the fact that what Shula accomplished he did so within the constructs of the league rules?
