A Brief History

The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football team based in the Miami, Florida Metropolitan Area. They play home games in the Miami suburb of Miami Gardens at Dolphin Stadium. They are headquarted at the Miami Dolphins Training Facility in Davie, Florida. The Dolphins are members of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Dolphins began play in the American Football League as an expansion team in 1966, they were founded by Joseph Robbie, and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger. The Dolphins are the oldest major-league professional sports franchise in the state of Florida. They are owned by Wayne Huizenga.

The team made its first Super Bowl appearance following the 1971 season in Super Bowl VI, but lost to the Dallas Cowboys. In 1972, the Dolphins completed the NFL's only perfect season to date in the Super Bowl era, winning all 14 regular season games, two playoff games and Super Bowl VII. The team also won Super Bowl VIII, becoming the first team to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls, and the second team (first AFL/AFC team) to win back-to-back championships. Miami also appeared in Super Bowl XVII and Super Bowl XIX, losing both games.

For most of their history, the Dolphins were coached by Don Shula, the winningest head coach in professional football history. His Dolphins teams posted losing records in only 2 of his 26 seasons with the club. Six future Hall of Fame members played for Miami during the 1970s, including running back Larry Csonka and quarterback Bob Griese. During the 1980s and 1990s quarterback Dan Marino became the most prolific passer in NFL history, breaking numerous league passing records. He led the Dolphins to numerous playoff appearances and Super Bowl XIX.

Brown, Henne strong in 14-10 Miami win (AP)

Miami Dolphins running back Patrick Cobbs (38) tries to push off New Orleans Saints safety Lance Schulters (24) in the second half of an NFL preseason football game in New Orleans on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2008. The Dolphins won 14-10.

Ronnie Brown returned from a thumb injury in good enough form to make a case for sharing carries with Ricky Williams this season. Brown rushed 12 times for 47 yards and powered his way into the end zone on a 1-yard run to help the Miami Dolphins win their third straight preseason contest, 14-10 over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.

No Tom Brady. No Eli Manning. The New England Patriots and New York Giants took no chances with their quarterbacks in a preseason finale Thursday night that matched February's Super Bowl opponents. This time there was nothing at stake, except a few jobs before the final roster cutdown on Saturday. David Carr took advantage of Manning's rare night off and threw touchdown passes to Darcy Johnson and...

Dolphins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

When training camp opened, the Dolphins didn't have a proven quarterback; they had one running back coming off knee surgery and another with six carries in the past three seasons who was one strike (or puff) away from another suspension; the premier defender was dancing in Hollywood instead of working out in Davie; and a coach whose named sounded like a certain TV mafia don who didn't look at his questioners in the face or while wearing dark sunglasses inside or outside.

But they did have Bill Parcells, the czar of transforming moribund franchises into playoff contenders within two years of taking the reins, watching every practice, needling every player and evaluating everyone on the field as well as those still on the market.
