Further, I'm sure everyone knows that the Pats are on their way to joining the '72 Dolphins in their pursuit for perfection. I'm not the kind of fan that claims stuff his team did seventeen years before he was born, but damn it, it's nice for the Dolphins to hold on to something these days.

Despite all that, I want the Pats to win. Although I hate them, I find myself wanting them to win. I want to see them go undefeated through the Super Bowl. The Patriots are almost undeniably the best football team ever assembled, and damn it, I want them to win. I hate myself for it, but I want to see perfection in my lifetime.
Actually, if the Pats win the Super Bowl, there goes your Dolphins' badge of honor as the only TRUE undefeated team in NFL history (The 34 and 42 versions of the Bears went undefeated in the regular season, but lost the NFL championship game both times, which is why those two don't count as "Perfect Seasons").

By the way, good luck in the draft; you guys have the top pick, AND have Bill Parcells in your front office. He's already begun his shake-up of the organization, and I am confident that he will rebuild your Dolphins franchise to challenge the Pats' status as kings of the AFC East. Look what he's done to the Giants in the 80s, Pats in the early-to-mid 90s, Jets in the late 90s, and my Cowboys from 03-06. He is damn good at turning bad teams around, and he's very good at rebuilding teams that are leaking oil. His role in rebuilding the Cowboys organization is responsible for them going 13-3 this year. As Parcells once said after a personnel dispute with Pats owner Robert Kraft during his tenure there, "If you want me to cook the dinner, at least you ought to let me shop for some of the groceries, okay?" Parcells is VERY good at shopping for the groceries. He did just that with the Cowboys (albeit with Jerry Jones' credit card), but Wade Phillips was cooking the dinner this season to the tune of 13-3, an NFC East title, a first round bye, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Trust me, your Dolphins will be in good shape. I have a feeling Parcells will be stockpiling draft picks this year, whether he uses the first overall pick to do that, or if he uses Ricky Williams (who has been known to command draft picks in trades; look what the Saints gave up just to move up a measily two spots to draft him).
