With the possibility of an undefeated team and a winless team in the same NFL season, it got me to thinking; which will be remembered longer? Sure, the perfect season is an absoultely incredible feat in the modern NFL, but think about how hard it is to go winless as well. As the season bears down and the players started to break down, you would think that the Dolphins would be able to take advantage of this and eek out a win. It just seems that they don't have any drive left, and are fit to be remembered as the winless Dolphins of 2007.
One of those little lessons that I learned in my college marketing classes is that positive things usually do not get remembered as much as negative things. For example, you have a great meal in a restaurant, you tell 5 people, and they tell a few. If you get food poisoning from that same restaurant, you are more likely to tell 5 times more people, and word will spread much faster. Relate that to this situation now. If the Patriots can win the Super Bowl and go undefeated, AND the Dolphins lay the golden egg and go winless... which do you think people will remember more from the 2007 season. (Granted, I do believe the "spygate" incident will always keep the Patriots in the top news bracket for a long time to come).
Food for thought....
