Bananaman Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I just ate at Shula's Steakhouse tonight and it made sick, but it wasn't because of the food. Its the damn moniker on their menus and signs. "still undefeated". They also have a 17-0 item on their menu. When are these guys going to get over it? I think they've milked this thing as far as its going to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yeah, why even reference what your known for... Why not just name it Ted's food place instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Until another team goes undefeated, why wouldn't Shula use that destinction? One of the greatest accomplishments in NFL history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isleseeya Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yup , its his steakhouse , his menu , his moniker and his record ...plus no other coach with a lisp has ever won that many games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleW64 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I don't really have a problem with it. It really is no different than having pictures of Super Bowl trophies in a restaurant or colleges referencing National championships. But, I don't like when the players get together to have their piss, I mean, champagne toast after the last undefeated team in the season loses. I think that's going too far. Their 17-0 accomplishment can't be erased from the record books. No need to gloat when a team loses. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonKnight Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Been there once. A little overpriced. Beats the hell out of Marinos. Which one did you go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roller Coasters Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The only thing that makes me sick about Shula's is that after paying $40 for an 8 ounce filet, I then have to pay $6 for the salad, $5 for the baked potato and $7.50 for asparagus.

One of the greatest accomplishments in NFL history. Yeah, too bad the members of that team have completely beaten it into the ground for the past 34 years. I'd love to see them try to do it in today's NFL- with the salary cap, free agency, and the diluted rosters due to expansion.

Hankk Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Shula's is crap - overpriced crap at that. That should keep you out of that place - not the silly menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 If we make Shula take that stuff off his menu, I gues we have to make Menudo strip all that crud off his sigline. . . Sounds like sour grapes to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 that's how it is at Morton's, Ruth Chris' et al... At Morton's all that Lions and Chiefs gear on the walls is overshadowded by the overhead shot of him lying on the canvas in that MMA fight...I'll never eat there again either.

Bengal Mania Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I don't think I have ever witnessed a record holder in sports that so openly and publicly rooted against a future player or team from tie-ing or passing their record. I actually think it looks kind of pathetic for them. It's not sour grapes. They have a great record that should be celebrated, but to openly celebrate when the last team falls each year is kind of classless, don't you think? I mean, if the Colts or somebody get to the last game undefeated, are the Dolphins gonna trot around wearing the other teams colors for the week? I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised. Also, you better locate Kevin Gilooly (or whoever that ice skaters boyfriend was) if that happens, he may have a job courtesy of the classy undefeated Dolphins. I understand being against Bonds breaking Aarron's record, due the steroids deal. That is different than just rooting that no one catches your record. Did anyone see Jack Nichlaus on the 18th green trying to "hex" Tiger and screaming "You da man" for Phil? I might've missed it....... I have a last question: If somebody does ever go undefeated, do you think the Dolphins will accept their position as the holder of the SECOND best record in football?

The Misfit Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Next time you're in there, ask for Chef Dave's "3-13" special. He just throws a bunch of crap in a pan, tells it to cook, and then walks around looking frustrated and confused when it doesn't quite come out right.

I actually think it looks kind of pathetic for them. It's not sour grapes. They have a great record that should be celebrated, but to openly celebrate when the last team falls each year is kind of classless, don't you think? Not to mention kind of silly. They played in a smaller league, without the salary cap constraint, and with a 14-game schedule. How is 17-0 under those circumstances so much better than 18-1 our era? Going undefeated is a fantastic accomplishment, but it's a lot easier when you have two fewer games to play. They also played in the "three yard and a cloud of dust" era. Were they REALLY a more prolific team than the '85 Bears, the '89 49ers, the '92 Cowboys, the '96 Packers, the '98 Broncos, or the '04 Pats. I don't necessarily think so.

They do not openly and publicly root against others. They simply celebrate their record after the last undefeated team loses. This is not a normal record that gets broken. This is a record that was actually created by them. To be happy when they remain the only football team associated with a unique record is classless? Hogwash. EVERY OTHER NFL RECORD had a record holder the very season they started keeping track. This record came into being, and is being discussed, because the Dolphins created it, invented it, earned it, and still deserve it. The fact that no one else has done and no one else deserves it is a feather in the cap the Fish. Just MHO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, popping corks when the last team loses is openly and publicly rooting against others. It's not rooting for one team to win, it is celebrating a loss, and it's classless.

Bill Swerski Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) "We're so great we don't think we should have to share our record with anyone." I'd love to see their antiquated offense go up against a Buddy Ryan or Bill Belichick defense. I'm sure that O-line would keep Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White in check. And I'd love to see the vaunted No Name Defense try to stop Bill Walsh's 49ers offense or Mike Martz's Rams-era offense. I'm sure that the "Greatest Team Ever" would hold Marino/Clayton/Duper, Aikman/Irvin/Emmitt, Young/Rice/Watters, Elway/Davis/Sharpe/Smith, Warner/Bruce/Holt/Faulk, or Manning/Harrison/Wayne/Clark to less than 20 points. The '72 Dolphins were a great team, but they take themselves WAY too seriously. Edited September 6, 2007 by Bill Swerski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
