...game, their season, which had begun with such promise, was over. In the off-season, Shula spent $12 million of Huizenga's money in free-agent bonuses, and when the Dolphins jumped off to a 4-0 start, the folks in the Miami area were not only talking Super Bowl, they were talking '72, the year the Dolphins went undefeated.

Having served no jail time and only a six-game suspension after pleading no contest to the assault charges, Phillips was again playing in the national championship game as the starting back--and as a self-anointed victim. At a crowded news conference on Thursday, Phillips said, "I don't think people will ever look at me the same." And Nebraska center Aaron Graham defended...
