Nice kicks, but a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, these are a little snug

The Miami Dolphins were founded in 1966 and are they play their home games at Dolphins Stadium in South Florida. The Dolphins have enjoyed tremendous success since they were born and most of that success was overseen by legendary head coach Don Shula, but with the recent great play overseen by head coach Tony Sparano there is every reason to believe that the Dolphins have returned to their winning ways.

The Miami Dolphins made their first super Bowl in 1971, but lost to the Dallas Cowboys. They more than made up for the loss during the next season however. The Dolphins won all fourteen of their regular season games, two playoff games, and Super Bowl VII, which made them the first, and only, NFL team to have a perfect season. To this day the 1972 Dolphins are the gold standard in the NFL.

The 1972 Dolphins were led by Don Shula who, to this day, is one of the most recognizable faces of the Dolphins franchise. Coach Shula led the Dolphins for twenty-six NFL seasons during which the Dolphins only posted two losing seasons. He won an NFL record 347 wins during his Hall of Fame coaching career.

After Don Shula the most recognizable Dolphin would be quarterback Dan Marino. Marino was chosen twenty-seventh in the 1983 NFL draft. There were five quarterbacks chosen ahead of Marino in the draft, and even though two of them went on to the NFL Hall of Fame, none were better. Unfortunately, Marino was never on a team that was able to win a Super Bowl, but he has either held, or still holds, nearly every Dolphins and NFL passing record.

The Miami Dolphins have long been one of the NFL's elite franchises and with their recent play they are poised to remain one for years to come. The AFC East has been dominated by the Patriots for the past several years until the Dolphins 2008 season. They won the AFC East title by going back to basics. They played tough, hard nosed, defense, and had a well balanced offense featuring a very strong running game.

Coach Sparano also introduced the rest of the NFL to the wildcat offense in which he had a running back line up under center and the quarterback line up as a wideout. The offensive formation wreaked havoc on the rest of the NFL. As other teams saw this offensive formation become successful many of them developed their own version of the offense.

A unique problem faces many visitors to Dolphins Stadium. The Dolphins are one of the few NFL teams that wear their white jerseys at home. This forces the visiting team to wear their dark jerseys in the brutal heat of South Florida. This is just one of the many ways the Dolphins have found a way to win in the NFL since 1966.

The Dolphins are one of the leagues most venerable franchises. They have had eight players inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame, they have retired the numbers of three former players, they've won thirteen division championships, six conference championships, and two Super Bowls. As far as NFL teams go there are few better than the Miami Dolphins.
