Say, “wow, I have messed up every football decision since I bought this team. There is no one to blame but me. I have to do something different” ???
Very serious - at what point does Ross

If I was Ross I'd just hope global warming rises the ocean level high enough to swallow the stadium so he can collect the insurance money and move on.
Soon. Please God… soon.

That’s dark, my friend. Even for a Monday after a loss against a team who hasn’t won in 20 games.
Very creative though!
I am genuinely curious if he realizes the extent of his utter incompetence. Does he? Will he continue to do stupid things in his hiring and convoluted org structures? He truly has been clueless since buying the team.
Should I have said "it can take England too"?
#1 - It WILL rise to that level.
#2 - He won't be alive at that point.
#3 - The Dolphins will still have 2 trophies.
OK so #3 was doom and gloom, just going by the foreseeable future.

Probably pretty close to the mark. I imagine he's just utterly humiliated. Which he should be, by the way.
As long as he's making money, never.
Ross doesn't at all care about the city or the team. This was obvious when he wrote that petulant letter, bitching about not getting tax payer funding to revamp the stadium so he could get a Superbowl. I'm surprised he even survived that to be honest.
The guy is a piece of **** and the #1 reason this team is embarrassing to watch on Sundays. The decisions he makes are so bad that I can make a better argument for him being a plant ... bent on making the fins a running joke instead of him being a legitimate owner of an NFL team who wants to win.

A billionaire admitting he made a mistake?
Not going to happen unless Scooby, Shaggy, & the rest are involved.

I disagree. I don't think he cares about the money, he's filthy rich and in his 80s. Right now he's thinking about his legacy, his ego, and his accomplishments. He absolutely wants to win, I fully believe that. You don't show up at the London game in which your 1-4 team is stuck in a dogfight vs a group that hasn't won in 400 days, peering through binoculars, if you don't care.
I think he's probably extremely upset right now, and will either wash his hands of the team (welcome failson Bruce Beal Jr.) or try to make huge offseason moves again.
I'd love to give him the benefit of the doubt here but just can't. Threatening to move the team to LA because the poor people in his community wouldn't fund him getting a SB bid should be all the evidence you need. He doesn't even know what the hell he's looking at through those binoculars.

It's not giving him the benefit of the doubt. He's still not going to turn the team around and his successor likely won't be any better. Until the ownership sphere is completely purged of self-centered media attention whores from New York City, things will not improve.
