Dolphins owner: Parcells will be back

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross predicts Bill Parcells will be back next season. The franchise's moldy fight song is staying, too.

But empty seats are on the way out, Ross hopes.

In a wide-ranging interview, Ross also discussed his courtship of celebrities, NFL labor negotiations and the U.S. Open tirade by new Dolphins limited partner Serena Williams.

The team's first home game with the glitz-minded Ross as owner Monday night had Hollywood trappings without a happy ending. Jimmy Buffett performed at a tailgate party, the Dolphins' celebrity limited partners made VIP-style entrances and fans swooned before Miami lost to the Indianapolis Colts 27-23.
