Marco Rubio wants to work for the Dolphins

AP

“Little Marco” and “Big Donald” have something in common, after all. They both like football.

Donald Trump owned the USFL’s New Jersey Generals and tried to buy the Buffalo Bills. Marco Rubio, who is now exiting politics, reportedly wants to work for the Miami Dolphins.

Emily Smith of the New York Post reports (in an item dated March 31 not April Fool’s Day) that Rubio “could potentially land an executive role with the team.” Smith then debunks her own report, quoting a “Dolphins insider” as saying, “Nope. Nothing to it.”

Apparently, the Dolphins already have an executive V.P. of Hand Size.

  1. I always felt the best place for lawyers and politicians was more like the bottom of the ocean.

  2. After getting destroyed by the Donald in the GOP race you would think he would be done taking L’s. This would only further hurt his resume.

  3. Let’s see, no experience in pro sports or entertainment. No other credible job prospects. Well, maybe the Dolphins could give him a chance to prove himself, and work up the ladder?

    /selling soda in the stands.

  4. He needs a job where he only has to show up 2 hours a week, kinda like when he was a Senator.

  5. Hopefully Marco can be involved in player acquisition. (Player evaluation, drafting, free agent signings)

    – signed the rest of the AFC East

    On a serious note , I too would like to work for an NFL team. Pay me at least 100K plus benefits, and it will be way way more enjoyable than what I do now. I’ll work for Cleveland.

  6. I don’t blame him. American Politics makes the NFL look clean as a white sheet.

  7. Probably a reach but

    1) Stephen Ross is a Republican
    2) He donated $50K to George Pataki’s PAC last year
    3) After Pataki dropped out of the race he endorsed Rubio

  8. Marco wants to be a Dolphins exec., while Condi Rice wants Goodell’s job? … Marco needs to dream bigger dreams. 🙂

  9. I knew the Dolphins were clueless when they released Grimes because they felt they couldn’t control his wife, but THIS???? The little twerp can’t find a job anywhere else so the Dolphins will take him on as a charity case? I wonder how often he’ll show up for work. This has April Fools written all over it.

  10. What? Adding him to the front office would be BANGARANG!!!

    Oh, you said, “Rubio,” not, “Rufio.” Never mind.

  11. Rubio does have a reputation as never having done anything worthwhile, and that seems to be what Stephen Ross wants from his executives (see Mike Tanenbaum).

  12. Let’s dispel with this notion that Roger Goodell doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s trying to fundamentally change the NFL.

    (REPEAT)

  13. Rubio would be a great fit for the Dolphins.

    A former politician who never delivered on his promises working for a team that never delivers on it’s potential.

  14. A grandstanding, mediocre politician who never bothered to show up for most of his tenure wants to help run the Dolphins? Bad idea.

    His primary responsibility would be comparing hand/foot size of the various team members and adjusting their contracts accordingly.
    OR, he could be in charge of marketing. In a year, their fan base would shrivel to 5% of its current size.

  16. If this happens any sensible and non-Common Core-loving and non-war-loving and non-psycho Dolphins fan should stop rooting for this team. Won’t happen of course, but I know I could never root for a team with a psycho in its front office (never mind crappy owner!)

  17. Wow, a promising politician and how it soured so quickly and probably never could regain momentum to run again. I think he was reading to many headlines about being the next president and it was only to sell papers even though he was looking at it like, ” I am going to be the next president, huh.”

    He is hated in the Senate for never showing up and how he wants to work for the fish? I guess it wouldn’t hurt I mean they don’t ever get better and he is used to losing in many ways so it might not be that far out there.

  18. If he can’t handle Trump and Christie in that party, he’ll stand no chance against Kraft and Belichick in that division.

  19. Uh I’m not gonna run for president anymore and I’m not sure what a senator does, so I can be a Dolphin executive, cause I ain’t to smart. Loser!

  20. perhaps he should focus on legislating and actually doing his current job which he has ignored for two years?

  21. Marco Rubio is incompetent.

    So in other words, he’ll fit right in by failing upwards.

    Maybe he’ll get them to throw him a foam party. It’s about the only thing he can bring to the Dolphins.

    He’s absolutely worthless, and as an executive would probably somehow bring the Dolphins down further.

  22. TWO THINGS:

    1) He is going to get voted out of his cushy “job”
    2) He feels the NFL is a place where he can continue to do nothing but talk while being treated as a rock star.

    This guys sucks

  23. As a close friend of the franchise, I can tell that the rumor is absolutely true.
    The NFL wants to arrange to play some games in Havana and they think Rubio would be the perfect guy for the job. He can sit in the stands with his old pal Raul swap stories about their families in the old days.

  24. We Dolphin fans don’t need someone who has no idea about pro football coming in. Been there, done, that, fired Nick Saban. On the other hand, if Condi Rice wants to be commissioner, I’d offer her anything she wanted, up to and including her name on a stadium, to replace the current cretin.

  25. Trump doesn’t like football. You need to continue the narrative of the USFL. Trump may have owned it, but he also killed off the league and handed the NFL a monopoly.

  26. What a downgrade!

    They had Gloria Estefan, Venus and Serena Williams, and Marc Anthony as part owners with J-Lo in the Sky Box.

    Now the team should have a former attorney that failed in the public eye?

    They already have the latter. His name is Mike Tannenbaum!

  27. It’s funny how Rubio openly bashed the working class on welfare during the campaign, but will publicly seek out a pure patronage “executive” position that will pay him a nice stipend to sit there and do nothing.

  28. He was a complete lazy politician… no football program in their right mind would hire someone that doesn’t want to work. Most NFL executives have very long hours. He wouldn’t last through the first week without them trying to find him after he went home at noon.

  29. Ball Boy maybe. May be under qualified.

    Sucks as a US Senator.

    Sucked as a Presidential Candidate.
    Couldn’t carry his own state.

  30. In related news, Hillary Clinton has formed an exploratory committee to determine her feasibility as a candidate on the cheer squad for the Mean Machine for their game against the guards.

    Worse, he’ll push for the public to pay for a new football stadium. He hates the poor and welfare, but is perfectly ok with giving welfare for multibillionaires because they provide (expensive) entertainment.

    He would probably do a better job than Mike Tannenbaum.

  33. As a diehard Patriots fan I heartily endorse Marco Rubio as an executive with the Miami Dolphins. And while we’re at it let’s put Donald Trump with the Jets and Ted Cruz with the Bills.
