While that Jimmy Butler performance last night has everyone talking about the Heat, one of our other professional sports franchises is back in federal court.
The Dolphins filed suit last Friday against First Class Cruises, LLC and Jeffrey Nahom. According to the complaint, which landed before Judge Bloom, the defendants promoted a Fan Cruise where fans could interact with 35 former Dolphins players. The defendants allegedly failed to pay the cruise line for the requisite state rooms/amenities for the former players/fans, forcing the Dolphins to come to the rescue at the last minute and cut checks to the cruise line.
The Sun Sentinel covers the lawsuit here. According to the paper, Nahom/Nahom-controlled entities had other cruise promotions that have generated controversy, including a Philadelphia Eagles cruise (cancelled) and Washington Commanders cruise (cancelled).
It isn't all bad. The Dolphins fan cruise did ultimately go forward and fans got to meet Dan Marino, the greatest quarterback in NFL history....
Isn't it "Fins?"
ReplyDeleteMarino - the greatest. Spoken like a true Dolfan. I could not agree more!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to disagree with Mr. Bell, but maybe Marino is the best QB never to win Super Bowl?
ReplyDeleteUmmm may I humbly interject that To be the greatest you have To win a championship. And Danny Boy has zero point zero championships (the same as the grade point average of Mr Blutarski. Zero point zero. ).
ReplyDeleteHe was good. But Griese won 2 super bowls. Elway won 2. Peyton won 2. Roethlisberger won 2. The cheater won like 28. Marino was good. But he wasn’t the goat He resides in that pantheon reserved for the almost great. Fran Tarkenton. Jim Kelly. Dan Fouts who is probably the closest comparison to Danny. Fouts in my opinion was a better pure thrower. Zero super bowls.
Sorry fin fans. He wasn’t a (wait for it ) a winner.
