                    They're still around. You eat 10 of the 48 oz steaks you get autographed football.

                      Nothing but respect for him as a football coach and as a man. R.I.P.

                      When I was big into trying all the best steak houses in the 80s and 90s, I was in Miami on business.
                      Went to Shula`s near the beach, think it was in a nice hotel. Very cool table side presentation with all the cuts displayed on a cart. I had high expectations. I remember being disappointed with my steak and never went back.

                      The only place on my list that I never got to try was Peter Luger`s.

                                              Most unbreakable record in sports.
                                              Most wins by an NFL coach:328

                                              Bill Belichick is active at 278-not sure hes going to threaten this record however

                                                    Shula won an NFL-record 347 games, including including playoff games. He coached the Dolphins to the league's only undefeated season (17-0) in 1972, culminating in a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII.

                                                    The Dolphins repeated as champions the next season, beating the Minnesota Vikings 24-7 in Super Bowl VIII, the third straight title game Miami had played in; the Dolphins lost 24-3 to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI.

                                                    In all, Shula guided the Dolphins to five Super Bowls, including losses to the Redskins (27-17 in Super Bowl XVII) and San Francisco 49ers (38-16 in Super Bowl XIX).

                                                        Most wins by an NFL coach:328

                                                        Bill Belichick is active at 278-not sure hes going to threaten this record however
                                                        Bill might beat that.

                                                        DiMaggio hitting streak hardest imo.

                                                          cal ripken jrs streak is probably up there

                                                          im not sure this sniffs top 10
                                                          Ripkens streak is one of 5 records that will never fall. 56 game streak by DiMaggio, Ryan's KO mark, Cy Youngs wins and losses the other.

                                                          Chamberlain's 100 points for NBA.

                                                          Every other sport has 0 unbreakable. In NFL some coach will pass Shula as the league expands the seasons.

                                                                i think 56 could be broken just by the sheer number of opportunities

                                                                ripken and ryans strikeout record dont have a chance to be beaten

                                                                his wins and losses? i mean you could easily see a starter only going 5 innings in the future so i wouldnt say those are unbreakable
