For some reason, the president will be honoring a football team at the White House today. It is not quite football season, yet. The team in question has not been a team for a long time, and there is no particular anniversary occasion. This is not the fiftieth year since it achieved glory or anything of that sort. Just another August day.

The team being honored would be the 1972 edition of the Miami Dolphins and it accomplished something no other National Football League outfit has.  It won the Super Bowl after going through an entire season undefeated.  Final record: 17-0.
