I'm curious what do you guy's think of Stephen Ross the Dolphins owner...

He's tried the orange carpet,brought in celebrity owners,public botched coaching moves,the stadium funding issues now...

Then I read these tweets...

Tweets from Ben Volin...
@BenVolinPBP: Stephen Ross just announced that he has committed to the "Giving Pledge," in which he pledges to give half or more of his wealth to charity

@BenVolinPBP: The Giving Pledge was created by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and aims to inspire global charity and deep engagement in philanthropy


I wish I could find the tweets I saw last week,mentioning something along the lines of...Ross didn't have a clue what he was getting into being an owner. Another one was about the condition of the stadium...Then there were a few about he ignored a few people,that could have helped him get the funding through...


What are your thoughts on Stephen Ross?

I just read he is worth 4.4 Billion so he is planning to give 2.2 billion or more away to charity? That's awesome but as a fan of his team I wish he'd invest 1 billion into a new stadium.

As far as what I think of him .... he seems to be a decent guy who really has no clue in regards to the average Dolphin fan.

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

Maybe the "charity" he's giving the money to should be "Miami First" - you know the non-profit organization responsible for stadium upgrades.

Good guy, his heart is in the right place, just got in his own way a few times when he bought the team. He seems to be "getting it though" now and is picking up how the NFL works.
