The Dolphins announced a major change at the top of the organization on Tuesday.
President and CEO Tom Garfinkel has stepped down after 13 years in the role. Garfinkel will remain vice chairman of the team and Hard Rock Stadium as well as the managing partner of the Miami Grand Prix.
"I love the Dolphins and the people here, but after 13 years it was just the right time for me to make this decision," Garfinkel said in a statement. "The business has never been in a better place and the team of people we have here is second to none in sports. I want to thank the South Florida community and Dolphins fans for all of their support over the years and especially [Dolphins owner] Steve Ross for the opportunity to be a part of this great organization.
Ross also announced the creation of Ross Sports & Entertainment and named Daniel Sillman the CEO of the new organization, which will encompass the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Grand Prix, the Miami Open tennis tournament and the Precision Drive Club. Sillman will oversee the Dolphins' football operations in his new role.
Mike McCarthy on Aaron Rodgers's comments: These are grown men with different opinions
The fact that Aaron Rodgers's scorched-earth attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci and ESPN, while appearing on ESPN, has prompted a comment from the team and a question to the head coach makes it, necessarily, a distraction.
Still, coach Mike McCarthy's goal will be to keep any of it from interfering with the task at hand.
"You know, these are grown men," McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday. "They all have different opinions. There's no question about that. But at the end of the day, my job is to keep it about football, keep the focus on winning. That's why we're here. We have a good locker room. We have a player council that's in place and we had our second meeting yesterday, and so I think we're in a good spot."
It remains to be seen whether Rodgers's rollicking Monday appearance with Pat McAfee was a one-time thing, or whether Rodgers will revert to his pre-2025 habit of showing up on the show every week — and saying whatever he wants.
It also remains to be seen whether, if/when the Steelers encounter adversity, McCarthy's methods will become a direct or indirect subject of Rodgers's current approach (as he said on Monday) of no longer giving a shit.
