someone they call "Birdman".

Will 1/68th of the team be able to keep him in drugs? >:D

  I just hope they don't let him perform at halftime.

This guy was one of the "Hot Boyz" from the late-90's, early 2000's dirty south Lil Jon hip hop movement.

Is it the same guy?

The Dolphins now have more owners than Cromartie has children. 

In my opinion thus has gone from stupid to rediculous. I hope Mr. Ross sells the team soon to a real sports owner so that he can move on to the entertainment world he covets.

he ain't selling. No reason too.

And be careful what you wish for, a new owner could pack the team up and move it!!!! Be careful what you wish for!!!

I assume you were kidding.

This is a non-story, imo, because these minority owners have zero power, and their only official team duty is to stand up and wave when the jumbotron camera hits them before (or during) the game.

If a thousand Hollywood bozos want to pay a million bucks to this team so they can tell their posse and throng of strip club suck-ups that they're a Dolphins owner, then more power to them.

This really is a non-story because the NFL nor Ross know anything about it.

None of the celebrity owners have any sort of trickle down effect to the product on the field, so who cares. People are acting as if Serena Williams or Marc Anthony (my twin) are going to demand that Ireland drafts a certain player. So long as Ross leaves the football decisions to the football people (which he does), none of this matters. Like Stroke said- I could care less if he wants to add several hundred minority owners.

*YAWN*  This is getting old.  Wake me up when some real football news happens.

I'm sick of the trickle-down effect this has had on gameday.  Its a distraction.  $10,000 sofas in the stadium, Club LIV, Orange Carpet, its all a bunch of nonsense that takes away from the gameday experience and makes Miami look like a celebrity-obsessed town that is all about lavish, overpriced luxuries.  Let's worry about what the players are doing during the game, rather than what celebrities are chilling in the club during the game.

I hate to break the news, but outside the immediate area, that has always pretty much been the image of Miami anyway.

I'm with Brian. I don't really care who is attached to the team. Cheapen my tickets or give me a better stadium experience. I couldn't care less who's face is flashed on the screen. There are many, many mire people in the stands worthy of face time that actually care about the team. I'd much rather see Papa Pump dancing or "insert hot girl" than Marc Anthony's mug.

The funniest thing to me is when they show the orange carpet no one knows who most of the people even  are.

That and the city being one huge NYC Jewish nursing home and a major drug haven is my image of Miami. 

Long before the Dolphins started selling off bits and pieces.  You can blame one of them on the fact that over half my grandmothers friends move their the other two on Miami Vice.

So great, why do we want to perpetuate that into a football game?  I'd rather see a picture of players talking on the sideline or a cheerleader doing their thing or Sparano coaching up the o-line than see J-Lo sipping a cosmo.

Think about it from a business perspective......

Project the number of STH who stayed loyal to the team thru the 1-15 disaster that are going to stop going to Dolphin's games because the big screen has shots of J-Lo instead of a cheerleader.  [I say very small]

Now project the number of Miami residents who think that a "tight end" comes from exercising your buttocks muscles, who will purchase the most expensive seats in the stadium and not think twice about paying top dollar for overpriced drinks that will come to the stadium so they sat 3 rows behind J-Lo.  [I say high enough to be worth it]

I am fine with all of these famous minority owners.  Miami is fickle.  You have to make the stadium "the place to be".  You can do that by either winning games or adding to the atmosphere.  I think they should continue to try both.

They have obviously chose what they want to do to try to make it "the place to be" and its not by winning games. They already ran off Bill Parcells.

Ran him off?  He runs off by himself, and always has.
