To celebrate the occasion, Buffett wrote a new team song called “Fins.” Reviews haven’t been kind but, then again, Jimmy has always been more about the fans than the critics.

Buffett and the Dolphins are a natural fit, as the singer has been a long-time fan of Miami sports (and, sometimes, a quite vocal one). Could this lead to other celebrity-team pairings?

Tom Cruise and Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder are already business partners; does this mean we’ll one day see L. Ron Hubbard Field? And Jon Bon Jovi is big into Philadelphia sports and once owned an Arena League team. With the Eagles yet to win a Super Bowl, Livin’ On a Prayer Stadium could be a nice fit.
