The New Dolphins Management Could Fill An iPod

And you thought their backfield was crowded.
On Tuesday, Marc Anthony became the latest Miami musician to buy a small stake in the Dolphins. He brings with him such gridiron-ready hits as “I Need To Know” and of course his wife, Jennifer Lopez.
Anthony of course joins fellow minority-owner Gloria Estefan and business partner Jimmy Buffett to round out the Super Bowl 44 halftime show trio of summer management hires plucked from South Beach variety radio stations.
The press conference announcing the move took place at a Manhattan mall with a spicy soundtrack and in front of more entertainment reporters than football scribes.
Perhaps they were attracted by the blaring soundtrack of Anthony’s music that preceded the news conference (memo to the N.F.L.: more news conferences with soundtracks), and bigger-than-life size posters of Anthony holding a Dolphins helmet. It featured a staggering number of security personnel, some of who inexplicably told some shoppers to keep moving, and an introductory video of Anthony that was heavy on concert footage.
Join us next month when the team announces a name change to The New Miami Sound Machine.

I’m going to Subway for lunch in like two minutes. I’m thinking about a toasted oven roasted chicken breast with tomatoes, lettuce, green peppers, onions, jalapenos, oregeno and chipotle southwest sauce.

This just in:
Florio second “last word” on the Roethlisberger “do not report” issue.
I don’t think he can go any further now. And be more right.

Oh and by the way, definitely not ‘only in Florida’, Elton John owned Watford FC for years.

Marc Anthony is a NY native and huge Giants fan, from what I know of him. Basically, they’re the only things I know about him, other than the J-Lo marriage.

@Jay – This comment was over there. Wonder how NBC is feeling about putting their name on PFT now that these are showing up more frequently…

As a dolphins fan, these moves don’t bother me. Hell, I’ll take more money anyway we can get it. Besides who doesn’t want to see Parcells salsa dancing? I can picture him now, dove bar and all

I went to a Marlins game where the guys from Burn Notice were there before the game. I saw fans leaving the game before the first pitch.

Marc Anthony was a great gang leader in The Substitute. I thought he going places in Hollywood.

that’s why it was nice to see a broke city with the highest crime rate and the worst rated schools give up $500 million to build a new stadium that will be a great place for kids to play Pop Warner games in for 20 years after the Marlins move.

You know this team is lame when all the changes they report about are cosmetic, but hey Parcell’s did turn them around to some degree.
It looks like instead of moving the team in that terrible sports town, they are working harder to drift it more to the local demographic. Smart, but will it work?
Notice LA as the second-largest media market in the country still does not have a pro football team yet room for even two MLS teams!
You would think they would just move this operation to LA and change the team’s name for an easier fix if they are into all that celebrity.

am i in the minority because i think that subway is nasty as fuck?
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
@jpq- this is true. Or if you were complaining that you couldn’t get a good pastrami on rye.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
So is there anyway to get a EA mention on this thread too?
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Perhaps the EA episode has one legendary silver lining …many shots all over the internet by hot chicks and MILFs curling their hair in the nude as well? Please share.

There are 10 sandwich shops I would eat at prior to Subway, but I wouldn’t refer to Subway as, “nasty as fuck.” Closer to, “nasty as anal cancer.”

Suey: I like to practice by sending every meal I order back 3 or 4 times while yelling at the waitstaff: “This is HAWRIBBLE” in my best Mrs. Costanza voice
So is there anyway to get a EA mention on this thread too?
just tell ty and TBL that making 200 posts of EA over the last 3 years objectifying her gives them every right to be moraly outraged to think that the internet and bloggers in any way contributed even 1% in this happening

Quiznos and Jimmy John’s are definitely better. However Subway is mad cheap, and the chicken teriyaki is money. On my way to get one right now! No cheese, of course.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Damnit people, im goin to subway now also because of all you fucks. BMT bitches.

terribly overrated. subway is to deli sandwiches what mcdonalds is to a good burger joint.
if i had to pick a chain sandwich shop, it would be jimmy johns (and i went to college with the chain’s namesake).
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:59 pm
at least we have Atlanta JPQ
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Jimmy Johns is great
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Dude, I just got back and it was tasty. Even got a mint from one of the cute workers. I think she wants me.
Good for you. I’m glad you got my back on this.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
JJ’s is (had it last night) but quizno’s sucks too.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SUBBIER PEOPLE!!!
dibellas is the shit…upstate NY and ohio people know what im talking about.

and here’s where to eat
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
No, sir. You speak the truth.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Too many good local sandwhich shops to be going to subway.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
i’ve tried quiznos maybe six or seven times and each time it was freaking horrible! i have no idea what kind of spice they put on all of their sandwiches or if someone pisses on the bread before they bake it.
subway is light years better than quiznos and that’s how back quiznos is.

Is Jon Secada next up for an ownership stake?
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I don’t want to sound holier than thou, but a lot of the reason I go to Subway is because it’s more healthy than, say, Quiznos or Jimmy John’s. I try to keep it real dudes.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
i totally hear that, but at the same time…you can go to mcdonalds, get a grilled chix sandwich with no mayo on a whole wheat bun and get the exact same nutritional content as you’d get in a 6″ sub for $1 less.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Jimmy Johns is fantastic. NDub, you can order any sandwhich on the menu with lettuce wrap for a healthy alt. (I would also suggest if you’re going for healthy, to also politely ask them to leave 1 lb of mayonaisse off the sandwhich. They’re murderous with that shit.)
Anyone ever around Kansas City though should make a point to stop by Longboards for some otherworldly grilled, panini-style wraps.

re: Jimmy John’s
My first year of law school myself and two friends hit up JJ’s after a night of drinking, and I got my usually Charlie Tuna. One of my friends was eating a Gargantuan, and bet me I couldn’t eat two of them. I knew he was wrong, so I put sixty bucks on it, and he had to buy the sandwiches. I had to eat them in twenty minutes and couldn’t throw up, mind you right after eating a foot long tuna sub.
Easiest sixty bucks I ever made.

Spence, you can put a construction hat on that order and it could literally join the village people.

yea yea yea…if you’re trying to watch what you eat, of course you’re going to look a little poofty when you order.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Dude I feel like a gay whenever I order at Subway because I never get cheese.
Shit, last summer, there was a Subway in my building and I went there every day after work but always got a veggie sub. They were quite confused every time, as I’m massive and had a nine month beard going at that point.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Come on shake your body, baby, run that Wildcat?
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm
shit, that’s nothin. back in my health nut days i used to DEMAND from waiters at outback/fridays type places that my chicken breasts be cooked without any oil or butter on the grill (common restaurant method). i actually had a GF break up with me at dinner because of a complicated order.
moral of the story? eating healthy doesn’t make you gay…banging dudes does so as long as you avoid that, you’re in the clear.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Yeah we always rubbed fatback on the grill because otherwise the meat would stick, you picky fucker.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
So all this sandwich talk made me go visit this little cafe for a sandwich and mocha…walk in and the first thing I hear is “load up the bong, crank up the song, let the informer call 911.” Fan-fucking-tastic. Put a huge smile on my face and put a $5 tip in the jar.
