Stephen Ross and Danny Boy indeed see the world in similar ways. Ross is addicted to "starpower" - - even in the owners' suite. He has sold off small fractions of the Dolphins to singers and entertainers and has them hanging around the team for "marketing and promotional purposes". Danny Boy has not gone down that road but has thoroughly explored the path littered with over-the-hill star players and big-name coaches who never seemed to have the same success here that they did anywhere else...
