Ross Shows Us He’s Learned A Few Things

It has been said that man is the only animal who will break his neck to save face. If this is so, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is probably in traction as we speak, wearing one of those protective ‘halo’ devices. Figuratively speaking, of course. Probably a good deal more gullible than most of us would like him to be, he’s had a tendency to believe just about anything someone close to him tells him, since becoming majority owner of the franchise a decade ago. Whether it was Jeff Ireland telling him Tony Sparano couldn’t coach, Joe Philbin telling him Ireland couldn’t draft or Adam Gase telling him that the more Pro Bowl players they waived or traded, the more likely they were to win a championship, you get the sense that if he trusts you, you could sell Stephen Ross just about anything.
