Shutdown Corner - NFL

At all celebrity galas in the city of Miami, I believe they're giving away part ownership of the Dolphins in celebrity gift bags.

The latest luminaries to join the ownership group are tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, so they'll be sitting next to Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez at the owner's meetings.

Serena has not yet announced plans to start at inside linebacker for the Dolphins, but I think she might. Channing Crowder(notes), you've been warned. You're not the only one in the organization with long hair and powerful thighs, mister.

    Really MJD. I think Miami is putting partial ownership in swag bags at award shows. This is getting ridiculous.

    Actually, since most major sports teams have already extorted the local populace for the cost of new stadiums, we should all be shareholders of our local franchises. Just sayin...

    Also, if Serena is playing ILB, Venus can play FB. Got the legs and the forearms, if ya know what I mean.

    As a life long Fins fan... I am dying a little inside everyday.
    Plus where the heck where all these people when we sucked? I have to say the only thing worse then fair weather fans are probably fair weather owners.

    Venus is too skinny to be a FB... she's more like a WR/CB... maybe even K. I would def like to see Serena as a LB... she prob knock the shiet outta half the NFL QBs!!!

    What does Allah and Africa have to do with the Dolphins? Especially since Venus and Serena were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses.

    This is just utterly embarrassing, moreso than the Weinsteidt era or the 1-15 season. This new owner has really made a mockery of our team, and I think it may be time for me to trade in my colors and find a new team.

    I will be part of the Miami Dolphins. Jennifer Lopez will divorce Marc Anthony for good. Jennifer Lopez and I will meet each one day on purpose. And Jennifer Lopez and I will marry each other for good.
