One season later after going a mediocre but respectable 8-5-1 he goes to Miami.

In 1967 the Colts and Rams tied for first in the Coastal Division with an 11-1-2 record. Rams won the tie-breaker due to head-to-head games. Rams won one, the other was a tie. There was no wild card set up so despite being tied for the best record in the league the Colts didn't go to the playoffs. I was 11 years old. I cried.

Oh, you are absolutely right that the Dolphins got far the better of that. Shula stays in Baltimore, Indy may not even have a team, who knows. Yeah, getting Shula made Miami.

I just saw Don McC's name and got excited. Plus, he's a UNC legend, and I work in Chapel Hill.

I guess you could throw in MLB too if you want. I would never watch that though

For the NFL games they could even do the shortened version, cut them down to 30 minutes like they do now for NFL Replay.
Love this. Add the NHL, Golf, and NASCAR, and it'd likely be a moneymaker. I'd love to re-watch some Edmonton Oiler games from the early Gretzky years. And anything with Bobby Orr.

Sounds like it'd be a good idea, but unless they included everything available in the entire sports world it would likely fall short and end up being like ESPN Classic where it's always the same few NBA games, the same few NASCAR races, and the same few NFL games that have all been aired countless times before.
