DVD Reviews of NFL: America's Game: Miami Dolphins
DVD Review: A beautiful recollection for any Dolphins fan
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan, I have to say this is the definition of a "must-have" product. First, the materials. Boxed in a simple cardboard box, the pair of DVDs have slim DVD cases that sport a beautiful cover (an up-close shot of the respective Superbowl ring) and a DVD. You can either keep them in the box (open-ended on one side to take the DVD cases out), which is pretty durable, or keep them apart. Inside the cases you'll find quotes about how great the series is, and obviously the DVD itself, which is silk-screened with another gorgeous shot of the ring, title, etc. The back of the case is like any movie's: a little summary, shots of the three interviewees, credits and logos.
That itself makes it a worthwhile purchase. Of course, the content... is amazing. The 1973 DVD is pretty much a run of the mill America's Game chapter, which is to say pretty good: interwoven storylines, simple - yet engaging - interviews with those closest to the story (Mercury Morris, Dick Anderson and my personal favorite, Bob Kuechenberg), clips of the games, etc. But it's the '72 edition that really takes the cake. In particular, the intro - I find it a chilling compilation that sets the pace for the entire thing. You have Manny Fernandez: a strong personality and a very much down to earth guy, the mammoth that shut down rushes every year. You have Larry Csonka: the pounder, the very heart of the offense. And you have the Don: Shula, a guy that can be 100 and yet emanates the fire of a young man - which few ever have, as well. The story is one of destiny, and it feels like it, but NFL Films doesn't shy away of telling the stories of close wins and by-the-teeth escapes, like against Pittsburgh in the playoffs.
I could write a lot more... but the best way to get it, is to get it. I would definitely recommend this purchase, no questions asked.
Description of 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.Bestsellers in DVD
