Regarding the second situation, I think you're right about the opinion the public had about George Allen's Redskins. Miami's relatively easy schedule that year also likely played a role.

Hmmm, that does seem odd. What could be the difference between the two? Hmmm...I wonder.

Now now, Phil. To be funny one must make up their own joke.

Ka-ching!

Hear that sound? My royalties.

Seriously, gentlemen. Isn't it time we put away this nonsense?

Great player cam, but I hate all the preening. Remember all the sullen press conferences when the team was losing a few years back? Noted this a couple weeks ago, why when Stewart RUNS for a TD does Cam take the ball into the crowd. Cannot imagine what a Lambert or Butkus would do to this guy. Not ...

Those critics have effectively been silenced by your astute observation. We'll have to agree to disagree....
