Marina Del Rey, CA – New York thousandaire, who requested to go by the name Denny, became majority owner of the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, completing his purchase of 95 percent of the franchise for $10 thousand, with Wayne Huizenga retaining a 5 percent interest. Denny takes over with the franchise’s fortunes on the upswing. When the first phase of his purchase was completed, the Dolphins were coming off a 1-15 season, worst in franchise history. Under the new Bill Parcells regime, they improved to 11-6 this season and made the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
The sale triggers a clause allowing the Dolphins to move operations to New York City, becoming the only N.F.L team to play in N.Y. When noted Buffalo is also a New York team, Denny responded by saying “they might as well be part of the Canadian Football League at this point, when’s the last time they made the playoffs?!” Rumors persist that Denny will request the Jets and Giants rename their teams using the state they play in, New Jersey. Construction is already under way to build a state of the art stadium on the Manhattan West Side. This is the same location the Jets and Giants looked to build prior to settling in New Jersey… again.
Denny noted the team will be renamed the Mushtangs (not misspelled) after his friends’ fantasy football team, who has shown an uncanny ability to win championships at the same rate as the Yankees. This might have something to do with him also being commissioner of the fantasy football league. A converted Dolphins fan from the 90′s, who asked to remain anonymous, is now questioning her short lived loyalty to the Dolphins and claims she “will now root for a new team, which will be the team the next guy I date roots for.”
General manager Jeff Ireland, scouting players preparing Tuesday for the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., was asked if he would be surprised if the Dolphins stayed in Miami, “Yeah, I’d be shocked,” Ireland said. “Obviously that would be something that we wouldn’t like to see happen.”
“I know under Denny’s leadership the Dolphins are in outstanding hands,” Huizenga said in a statement. Denny, 32, made his thousands as a technology auditor and is chairman of Poulios.com. He was ranked 209,678,771 in 2008 on Forbes’ list of richest Americans. Denny attended Mt. Sinai High School and the University of Scranton. He began his career in Washington, DC.
