Miami Dolphins history
An attorney and politician, Joe Robbie, teamed up with actor and comedian Danny Thomas to launch the Dolphins, who kicked off in the AFL in 1966. South Florida had gone without pro football since the Miami Seahawks played one AAFC season in 1946. Early practices took place at Saint Andrew's School, a boys boarding school up the coast in Boca Raton, and the 1970 merger moved the club into the NFL.
After a 24 to 3 loss to Dallas in Super Bowl VI, Miami bounced back the next year with a perfect season capped by a win in Super Bowl VII. Another title followed in Super Bowl VIII. No pro sports team in Florida is older, and among the four AFC East clubs, Miami alone was not a founding AFL member. Stephen M. Ross owns the team today.
