Absolutely brutal schedule for the president upon his return from his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard:

“The Miami Dolphins team that achieved the only perfect season in NFL history will be honored by the White House next Tuesday, more than 40 years after its accomplishment.

President Obama will welcome the 1972 Dolphins for the first White House ceremony honoring the only team to go 17-0. Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula plans to accompany players from the team to the event.”

I might be showing my age, but I recall way back when, that on a Sports Illustrated cover of a team photo of the Dolphins, someone had a bird flipped out (middle finger). I think it may have been Larry Csonka (or not).

Edit: I looked it up and it wasn't a team photo but it was Larry Csonka.

I'm sure someone will help clarify my memory.
