Huizenga Sells 50% of Dolphins

In what is probably a good move for the health of the franchise. Wayne Huizenga sold 50% of his stake in the Miami Dolphins to Stephen Ross, a Florida based land developer. There's a little bit of good news and bad news to this, the good news being that this franchise, having failed to reach the AFC Championship under Huizenga's ownership or make the playoffs since 2001, probably needs a new owner who will take more of an active interest in the franchise. The bad news about this is that having a 50/50 split of a franchise can only mean that disagreements become fairly impossible to settle. All if well and good so long as the men agree on things, but as soon as either Huizenga or Ross decide that, for instance, Parcells isn't their man anymore or, more likely, they need to find a replacement, the sparks will fly. And turmoil in the ownership only means turmoil on the team.
