    If you're really going to compare the Dolphins to the Godfather then:

    Don Shula = Vito
    Parcells = Michael
    Saban = Sonny
    Sparano = Vincent
    Ireland = Tom Hagan
    Cameron = Fredo

    Hmm...I pictured Sparano as Michael and Tuna as Clemensa with Bellicheck as Tessio...

    but Ireland is sort of Haganish..

    Well Sparano looks more like Clemenza. But I was going off of the actual power each has/had, with a little bit of their personalities mixed in.:up:

    I would be tempted to make Bellicheat=Moe Green and Kraft=Roth. And Ryan = Luccha Brazi

    Not so far off though, Vito did have contemporaries in Clemenza and Tessio, Tuna was a contemporary of Shula, but they had no direct connection like Tuna had with Belicheck/Tessio.

    But now that you mention it, Sparano might bite off someone's ear during the postgame hug...:lol::lol:

    Paul Pasqualoni would be Luccha Brazi, or Dan Henning..

    I'd say Henning is Clemenza and Pasq is Tessio.

    How about Ross = Luccha?
    Jerry Jones = Barzinni???

    Henning is maybe more mercenary than DC Pasqua though, that would make him more of a Tessio.

    Belicheck could be Barzinni as well, or Johnny Ola

    Maybe Ross as Hyman Roth?

    Jerruh Jones is without a doubt Senator Pat Geary though he could be Barzinni, who would be Tatalia?

    BTW...which NFL franchise will be Mobiliari?

    Hmm...Jacksonville?

    That was a good article. I love the storyline feel it had. Makes you feel as if you was watching a movie. Very good.

    Respect it!!!...or you'll get whacked... .lol..i love that mafia sh#@.

    seriously though, i cant express how exciting it has been for me as a fan to know, that there is a man that i have so much respect for, on a few levels, who is in charge of our team, and the building of it, very grateful.

    Parcells..A.K.A, The Godfather........i like it.

    Brother, I knew you'd get a charge out of it. As soon as I started reading I thought of you.
    Uncle Bill is the man. I still believe he's going to stick around until we win a Super Bowl (or Carl Peterson is hired). J/K about Peterson. I'm thinking Ross got the message loud and clear. If you hold up those two guys' resumes side by side and compare, it wouldn't take too much thought to decide who you want running things.
