“I didn’t care for the publicity”At a glance, Paul Robbie’s life seems fairly ordinary. He was born and raised in Sisseton, SD. Like many boys at that time, he learned how to hunt and fish—two pastimes he enjoyed all his life, exploring the state’s prairies, Badlands, and rivers. Through high school, Paul worked as assistant manager at JC Penny and then moved to Mitchell, SD, where he managed the city’s country club with his father. Later, he moved to Sioux Falls, where he worked as a manager of the Cataract Hotel and in the office supplies business. Until last year, Paul was still working at Brown and Saenger.

But there are also a few not-so-ordinary details about Robbie’s life—such as starting the Miami Dolphins football team with his brother Joe Robbie in 1966.

“My brother, Joe, was an attorney and had a client in Florida in 1965, and asked me to go with him,” says Paul. “While we were there, we ran into Joe Foss, who was Commissioner of the American Football League (AFL) at the time.” Foss, also a South Dakota native, and the first Commissioner of the AFL, asked the brothers if they wanted to start a football franchise in Miami, Florida, and if they could raise the money.

Starting the Miami Dolphins “Raising the money was easy; football was a good investment. We talked with people we knew and banks in the East, and later that year we obtained the AFL franchise in Miami,” says Paul. His brother then moved to Florida with his family to become the general manager and eventually the owner of the Miami Dolphins. “I didn’t care for the publicity and preferred to stay in South Dakota, so remained a stakeholder,” says Paul.

After successfully raising the money to start the franchise, the Robbie brothers experienced some serious challenges the first couple seasons. “This was the first time we’d done something like this, so of course we made some mistakes. We didn’t

have the right coaches or right players, and we weren’t doing well. We were losing and deep in debt,” says Paul.

In 1970, Don Shula, former coach of the Baltimore Colts, was hired as the new head coach for the Miami Dolphins. “Shula helped turn things around and recruited the right players,” says Paul, “and we went to the Super Bowl in 1971, 1972, and 1973.”

The Dolphins faced the Dallas Cowboys at the Tulane Stadium in New Orleans for Super Bowl VI but lost 24-3. Returning to the Super Bowl playoffs in 1972, the Dolphins were undefeated, 17-0 and won Super Bowl VII, 14-7, against the Washington Redskins.

“We were the NFL’s first team to finish the season and playoffs undefeated,” says Paul, “and 1972 is the only year the Dolphins have been undefeated.” In 1973, the Dolphins made it to the Super Bowl championship again, defeating the Minnesota Vikings, 24-7, at Houston’s Rice Stadium.

“Those were really some great years that put the Dolphins on the map,” says Paul. “It was a highlight to be on the sidelines during those games and to be involved with the team for nearly

Paul Robbie wears his Super Bowl ring and holds an autographed football. He recently celebrated his 90th birthday with family.

30 years. I went to almost all of the games. The Dolphins’ private jet would pick me up in Sioux Falls, and I’d watch the games from the box seats or sidelines.”

Paul’s brother remained the owner until 1989, when he passed away at age 73. In 1994, Paul sold his shares to Joe’s children, who had taken over their father’s ownership in 1990.

Paul still stays in touch with good friends Coach Shula and Quarterback Dan Marino, who played with the Dolphins from 1983 to 1999. Last year, he went to Dallas to watch a game and tour the new stadium.

Paul keeps a few reminders of his history with the Miami Dolphins. For example, there are autographed 1972 and 1973 Super Bowl footballs resting on his desk. On a wall hangs an autographed photo of Coach Don Shula after coaching his 347th win, the NFL record for most career wins. And on Paul’s right ring finger, one of his two prized Super Bowl rings.

“I have a lot of great memories from those years,” says Paul. “We were proud of ourselves for our accomplishments in adverse circumstances. I still get a weekly report on the team.”

Eat less. Eat better. Move more. “Unhealthy diets and a lack of physical activity in the US cause more health loss than smoking, alcohol, or drug use.”

– Ali Mokdad, PhD, director of Middle Eastern Initiatives and professor of Global Health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)

The United States has made significant health improvements over the last two decades, including:

• Lower disease burden rates since 1990 of nearly all childhood conditions and diseases

• Lower mortality rates for people at every age since 1990

• Significant reduction in death and disability from HIV/AIDS

But Canada and other countries in Europe and Asia are improving at a faster rate.

Why is the US less healthy than other countries? The researchers point to poor dietary practices and inadequate physical activity as two of the driving forces. In fact, dietary risks moved ahead of smoking as the leading cause of disability and death in the study released recently in the American Journal of Medicine.

Christopher Murray, MD, DPhil, is a professor of Global Health at the University of Washington and director of the IHME. He presented the findings of the study at an event hosted by First Lady

Michelle Obama as part of her Let’s Move! campaign.

Bad choices and risky behaviors fall in the category of “lifestyle-related risk factors”. Genetics are important but not as important as lifestyle practices. Touchmark recognizes the importance of providing healthy lifestyle options in its 11 communities in the US and Canada.

To find out more about the Full Life Wellness & Life Enrichment offerings at Touchmark, contact any member of the Full Life team. And ask about Touchmark’s celebration of Active Aging Week, coming up in September. It’s never too late to gain the benefits of eating better and moving more!
