Description
On April 25, 1972, Earl Morrall was claimed on waivers for $100 by the Miami Dolphins, reuniting him with his former Colt head coach, Don Shula, who said, "I happen to have a good memory. I remember what Earl did for me in 1968." Shula's words proved prophetic when history repeated itself: Morrall replaced the injured Bob Griese for the Dolphins during the team's October 15 win over the San Diego Chargers. The victory gave Miami a 5-0 record, with Morrall building on that win to lead the team to the first undefeated regular season in the NFL since 1942. Morrall's was named American Football Conference Player of the Year in 1972. Morrall remained a Dolphin for the next four seasons before finally announcing his retirement on May 2, 1977.
Also included in OttoMatic, the remarkable andn inspirational saga of the winningest quarterback in historywho achieved greatness both on and off the field. From 1946-1955 Otto Graham of the Cleveland Browns dominated his sport like no player past or present. He led the team to 10 league championships. As the first player ever to wear a face mask, he performed during a time of rugged play, less than admirable medical care, and substandard equpment. He never missed a game. Otto propelled his team to an incomprehensible regular season record of 105-17-4 while establishing individual record after record. As the kingpin of the Cleaveland Browns, he was a mega-celebrity who utilized his fame in a positive way to effect community change, impact charitable organizations and provide thousands of fans with great memories.
