Owner predicts Super Bowl for Fins
06:35 AM ET 06.06 | Stephen Ross may be the owner of the Miami Dolphins, but if his comments yesterday are any indication, his feelings toward the team may be more that of a fan than an owner. Ross, a University of Michigan alum, predicted to reporters that the Dolphins would be in the Super Bowl this coming season, citing quarterback Chad Henne as a key ingredient to that run. "Chad Henne can handle pressure. That I can tell you," Ross said. "I know (because) he started in the University of Michigan as a true freshman playing in front of 110,000 people and leading them to the Big 10 championship, as a true freshman."

3. I rather an owner say this than have to root for a team so bad that they have no chance.

4. Henne always put points on the board
for UM. Too bad the UM defense was so loose. I think he'll be a good pro QB.......

12. No---the logic is the guy is cool under pressure...
Playing in front of 110,000 at Michigan sure trained him for that.

Let's see--- Henne---David Carr.... please.

8. You know, I might have considered it possible until he brought up Chad Henne.
I'm sure the young man has broad shoulders, but not quite broad enough to carry a team to the Super Bowl. The New York Jets will win that division next season, the Patriots don't suck yet and this is the same conference with teams like Indy and San Diego.

Miami has a few steps to climb first. The 'Fins will probably be pretty decent and may even make the playoffs, but winning in January takes a little more.

11. Uhh---the Jet's will not win the division..
They couldn't beat the Phins last season and this season they're loaded with a bunch of high priced free agents.

13. Perhaps he's been drinking too much of the Landshark.
Just because you get it for free doesn't mean you have to drink as much as you can.
