Learning in the Sunshine State

I was sixteen. There was only one pro football team in Florida. If you were a real Floridian, and a football fan, you were a Dolphins fan. It was the most exciting football year ever for Dolphin fans. Now we have three pro teams, but long-time die-hard Floridians are still Dolphins fans. We’re fans even when they have a laughing stock season, like they have for a number of years now (especially this year). But we hold on tightly to one thing. The Record. The Perfect Season. It still stands. The only team in history to go undefeated in the regular season, then go on to win the Super Bowl.
