BPR85 Michael Lehan

Podcasting the National Football League, Podcasting the NFL

For defensive back Michael Lehan and the rest of the Miami Dolphins, it couldn’t be any sweeter. Getting their first win of the 2007 season after 14 games, a 22-16 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens, almost felt like winning the Super Bowl. I spoke with Michael about getting the monkey off their back, his fine play this year, and the possibility of beating the (still) undefeated New England Patriots to protect the legacy and history of the 1972 Dolphins.
