[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1539099, member: 4159"] My favorite Shula story is the time he and his family went to Maine for summer vacation before training camp began. They were spending their vacation in a small town and decided to go to the local movie theater. When the 7 Shulas walked in they were greeted to a standing ovation. Even though he had recently won a Super Bowl with the Dolphins Don was a little surprised that he would be recognized so quickly in a small town in Maine. That was actually why they chose Maine, for the anonymity. When the show was over Don thanked the other patrons in the house telling them it was kind of them to go out of their way to make him feel welcome. They looked at each other and back and Don. The man closest to him said, I don't know who you are but the owner of the theater just told us since there were only 5 people waiting to watch the movie, he wouldn't run it unless 10 people were in the audience. Don said he learned humility that day. [/QUOTE]
