NFL: America's Game: Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins of the early 1970s weren't especially big, quick, or flashy, and they were soundly beaten by Dallas in Super Bowl VI, but they earned their place in history the following year, becoming the only team in National Football League history to go undefeated (17-0). The Dolphins' "No Name Defense" of 1972 gave up the fewest points in the league, while the offense-playing most of the year without Pro Bowl quarterback Bob Griese-relied heavily on the ground game. Running backs Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris ran for over 1,000 yards each (an NFL first). Griese returned for the postseason and led Miami to a 14-7 victory over George Allen's Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII, completing the Dolphins' perfect season. It was a dilemma no other NFL team had ever faced: How do you improve on perfection? But head coach Don Shula believes that the 1973 Dolphins were even better than the team that went undefeated a year before. In Super Bowl VIII, the Dolphins pummeled the Minnesota Vikings for their second-straight world championship. Americas' Game features exclusive interviews with Larry Csonka, Don Shula and Manny Fernandez (The 1972 Miami Dolphins) and Mercury Morris, Dick Anderson and Bob Kuechenberg (The 1973 Miami Dolphins). Join NFL Films as they recount the stories of the '72 Dolphins' run to 17-0 and the '73 Dolphins' success in defending their Super Bowl title.

This is a brief article on my opinion of satellite radio since I purchased it almost 5 years ago. These opinions are my own, and I'm sure others will differ. You can always have your own opinion if just go out and buy a Sirius universal tuner, and hook it up to your car. Then you can make your mind up on the matter.

I originally purchased a cheap Sirius tuner because I was taking a 1200 mile trip about 3 times a year in an automobile. I always ran through some long stretches where I encountered some dead zones. The relatively new satellite radio seemed the perfect solution.

Once I started using this radio at home on a regular basis I found out that I may have lucked out. I had perfectly good reception in my home town, but when I drove to a highly populated area about 15 miles to the north I couldn't get a clear signal. It seemed all of the lower FM frequencies which Sirius was using were all being used by local radio stations, causing them to bleed over to the satellite station. I haven't given it a whole lot of thought, but what are these people doing to correct their poor reception?

So here I am driving down the road, listening to my 70's and 80's music stations where I come upon an ad for XM radio and they are covering all of the major league baseball games for the upcoming season.. I am a baseball junkie, so back online I go and purchase an XM receiver. This turned out to be a good deal for a transplant like me who has followed the White Sox since I was 7 years old. I get to listen to the home town announcers call all of the games.

I found the XM receiver to have the same problems that the Sirius tuner had. I was getting poor reception in high traffic areas. They both cover similar subjects as far as music, talk shows both right and left, and the weather and road conditions for about 50 cities nationwide. The one difference is the sports programming. While XM has baseball, Sirius covers college and NFL football along with others that I didn't have as much interest in.

I attempted to cancel my subscription to each provider once a season ended, but had a tough time doing it. In the beginning they kept my account open and gave me a month of free listening. By the third year it was up to 4 months to where the seasons were overlapping.

I see that Sirius and Xm are going to merge. I don't know how this is going to effect the programming or the cost of the subscription, but I imagine I'll still be able to take my 1200 mile trip 3 times a year and listen to my Sirius radio still using that cheap Sirius universal tuner that I got 5 years ago.
