Yes folks, Jimmy Buffett has accepted a deal to become a business partner with the Miami Dolphins. I am sure Bill Parcells is pleased.As a part of the deal, Dolphins Stadium might be renamed Landshark Stadium. Landshark is a beer Buffett markets with Anheuser-Busch. More on this story next week.
This got me thinking though. Imagine if other musical acts became business partners with NFL franchises. Here's a list of musical acts I want to see partner up with NFL franchises.
1. Metallica, San Francisco 49ers- Imagine the 49ers entering the stadium with Metallica playing 'Master of Puppets' in the background. Also could you imagine the team going to therapy with Metallica every Tuesday? I think this would be a great marketing ploy.

2. Disturbed, Chicago Bears- Jay Cutler likes to party like a rock star, now he can party with the rock stars. Also could you imaging Brain Urlacher with facial piercings like Disturbed frontman David Drainman? If Urlacher scared you before, imagine that look.

3. Any Nirvana, Seattle Seahawks- Seattle is the home or depression, rain, and Nirvana. What a perfect fit for the Seahawks. Dave Grohl can get the other guys back together and they can play their depressing music to the depressed Seattle fans while it rains on them. And if Nirvana is not up to it, maybe Soundgarden is will get back together.

4. Faith No More, Oakland Raiders- These guys broke up years ago, so they are perfect for Al Davis. Al can take some lessons from them at least. Like how to anger animals rights activists by making a music video with a fish flopping out of water. Or how to break up and never return again. If the Oakland Raiders disappeared from the NFL, does anyone notice?

5. Ted Nugent, Detroit Lions- The Motor City Madman can make his triumphant return home. At Lions games you will receive a free General Motors car and a hand gun. Before the game, you can go on the field and sit in a deer stand and hunt. With Nunge in your life, nothing can go wrong.
Other musical acts paired with NFL teams:Ozzy Osbourne, Philadelphia Eagles- We already know how crazy Eagles fans are. Imagine Ozzy rocking with them.
Slayer, Los Angeles- That's why L.A. hasn't had a team in over ten years. The city worships the devil.
Anthrax, New York Giants- Imagine the Manning face combined with this goatee.
Meat Loaf, Dallas Cowboys- The biggest soap opera in the world combined with the biggest musical soap opera in the world.
Disclaimer- This article isn't meant to offend any city, fan, or musical act. It is simply to make fun of how absurd Jimmy Buffett working with the Miami Dolphins sounds.

You forgot about Nickelback paired with Buffalo. The Bills are half way to Canada as it is.
