Los Angeles (E! Online) – Could it be a matter of time before the Parrotheads supplant the porpoises on the gridiron?

We're not sure what he's cooking up but "Cheeseburger in Paradise" purveyor Jimmy Buffett is about to begin working in some capacity with the Miami Dolphins.

The Mayor of Margaritaville will join new team owner Stephen M. Ross for a press conference on May 8, during which they're expected to announce to announce a sponsorship deal with the singer-songwriter known for his odes to hedonism.

Details of the pact are being kept under wraps, however the Miami Herald reports that Dolphins Stadium is going to be renamed "Landshark Stadium" after Buffett's beer, Land Shark Lager, produced in collaboration with Anheuser-Busch.

Ross is also planning a Margaritaville-themed area in the venue which may sport Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant, and word is Ross is also looking to invite the 62-year-old crooner to become a minority owner in the franchise.

The whole effort is aimed at rebooting the Dolphins' image after a string of miserable seasons. Before last fall, the team hadn't made the playoffs in seven years.
 
As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate the Dolphins...
 
A stadium named after beer . Land shark stadium but this is the first time i ever heard of that beer.
Much like Buffett himself, it's all name with nothing of substance behind it.
 
Wasted away in Joe Robbie Stadium again;
Looking for my lost pigskin.
Some people claim that it's Pennington to blame;
But I know, it's Ronnie Brown's fault.
 
You know, for all his songs about laziness, apparently Jimmy Buffett is a total workaholic, always in the office working on some new spin.
 
Candygram for Mr Belichick......

Hey sharks eat Dolphins don't they ?
