A group of old-time South Florida sports writers and TV types now spread across the country had a Zoom talk Friday about Dolphins Hall of Fame coach Don Shula. Thoughts. Memories. Laughs. A virtual goodbye, of sorts, after his death on Monday.
Amid the storytelling Chuck Dowdle, the former host of The Don Shula Show, provided more than a story. He gave the reason why Bill Belichick chasing down Shula’s all-time win total would have been increasingly uncomfortable in one respect. Meaning, Shula’s respect. Meaning, Shula’s disrespect of Belichick.
Dowdle didn’t mention this. Nor did anyone else.
