The inside story of the only undefeated team in NFL history, the
1972 Miami Dolphins--by the Hall of Fame quarterback who led it to
victory
Hall of Fame quarterback and long-time ABC college football
announcer Bob Griese is a living football legend. Now, on the 40th
anniversary of the 1972 Miami Dolphins' incredible championship
season, Griese tells the behind-the-scenes story of the team both
on and off the field as it achieved a feat no other team has ever
succeeded in matching: perfection.
You'll see Griese shocked in his first meeting with Joe Robbie
as the Dolphins owner balanced big contract figures and a
staggering number of drinks. You'll hear Griese meeting Don Shula
for the first time and being ordered to start staying in the pass
pocket rather than scrambling. ""Build me a pocket and I'll stay in
it, ' Griese told Shula. You'll understand the friendship and
on-field relationship developed between Griese and Paul Warfield
after they became the Dolphins' first inter-racial roommates.
You'll follow Griese through a storied season that began with
him wondering just how good the Dolphins actually were and ended
with him awarding the game ball in the winning Super Bowl locker
room. Along the way you'll hear: How Shula implemented and Griese
embraced the first use of situation substitution in the NFL and the
controversy it caused in a backfield of Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick and
Mercury MorrisThe lengths to which NFL players of that era kept
themselves on the field, including regular trips from the hospital
bed to the playing fieldInsight and anecdotes from Hall of Fame
players Warfield, Csonka, Nick Buoniconti, Jim Langer, and Larry
Little as well as Griese
Packed with behind-the-scenes drama and on-the-field excitement,
"Perfection" is a book every football fan will want to read.
