CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mercury Morris may drink a glass of champagne honoring the 1972 Miami Dolphins every year the last undefeated team loses, but not everybody associated with that team apparently shares in the tradition.
If it is a tradition at all.
"That’s his way of celebrating," Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. "But I don’t think everybody else does. I know it isn’t [done] in the Shula household."
Shula is the son of legendary coach Don Shula, who guided the '72 Dolphins to the only perfect season (17-0) in NFL history.
