There is a reason the phrase credited to medieval English writer William Langland in his circa 1370s poem “Piers Plowman” is still said all these centuries later: Patience is a virtue. That it might be rewarded is its value. Especially when the reward is great enough. So the Miami Dolphins waited for Vic Fangio. And waited. And then won. A ...
As the Chiefs trudged to the end of another wretched season in 2012, a 2-14 fiasco, Andy Reid’s Philadelphia Eagles were on the way to a similarly miserable finish (4-12).
