Dolphins home renamed LandShark Stadium
Football Betting Lines
05/08/2009 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins' home has been renamed LandShark Stadium after an agreement between owner Stephen Ross and singer Jimmy Buffett.
Buffett, a south Florida resident, is famous for his song "Margaritaville" and has a new beer with Anheuser-Busch named LandShark Lager.
"Jimmy Buffett is known and loved worldwide for his music and for his portrayal of the tropical lifestyle that is synonymous with south Florida, and we are honored to have him bring his unique culture to our organization," said Ross. "It's an exciting day for our franchise and our fans; this partnership will help create a memorable game-day experience at our home games for everyone."
Financial terms for the naming rights were not disclosed.
This marks the fifth different moniker for the Dolphins' home, which first opened in 1987 and was named for owner Joe Robbie. It was then Pro Player Stadium after a now-defunct apparel division of Fruit of the Loom and was Dolphins Stadium before the 's' was dropped in 2006.
Buffett's partnership has been rumored for some time and it has also been speculated that he could join Ross as a minority owner of the franchise. Ross bought a 50 percent share of the team and the stadium in February 2008 from H. Wayne Huizenga, and now owns 95 percent of the team.
LandShark Stadium will be the site for the Super Bowl in February and is also the home of Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
