The erroneous information also appeared in AP stories Feb. 2 and Feb. 3 about the '72 Dolphins.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Pr |

No audition tape was necessary; the defense's performance in Sunday's 17-14 upset of the New England Patriots pretty much speaks for itself. ``I think they're pretty good,'' Snyder said. ``It was a very interesting game. To see what I consider the most explosive offense I've seen in years and years to just be slowed down like that was quite impressive.''< |

Which is why the New England Patriots didn't just lose a Super Bowl on Sunday night. They didn't just lose their chance to lay claim to the "Best Team Ever" label, or their front-running status in the "Best Dynasties of All Time" conversation. When the team, their coaches, the front office and their fans woke up on Monday morning, they did so with the sudden and stomac |
