The pressure of a winless season and another dismal loss might have been the decisive factors that finally drove Miami Dolphin’s owner Wayne Huizenga to try a desperate act of arson, according to police authorities that captured the erratic billionaire earlier today.

 

Huizenga (106 years old), was initially detained by an employee in charge of security working the morning shift at the Dolphin’s training facility in Davie, Florida, and later arrested by police forces alerted by the threat of a homemade explosive device that was found on the premises.

 

“It was around 6:45 AM when I initially noticed this disheveled old man wandering around The Bubble, so I approached him cautiously”, said Luis Vazquez, the night watchman, mentioning the bubble-like structure that protects the field during rainy days. “At first I thought it was some homeless guy, but he was well dressed and I took him for one of the elder gentlemen that live in the nearby retirement communities”.

 

It was only after a couple of inquiries that Vazquez realized he was speaking with Wayne Huizenga, owner of the club and, consequently, his employer.

 

 

“Yeah, I knew it was him. He gave me some phony name, and he said he was just looking around, but there was something odd about the whole thing. I called for backup and kept making small talk for a while. You know, bidding my time. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I notice this fuel container with some weird attachment on its side, and it’s just sittin’ there by the generators. Right then I knew Mr. Huizenga was up to no good”, concluded Vazquez.

 

As soon as the police showed up they cordoned the area around the strange artifact, which members from the Broward County Fire Department later confirmed to be of an explosive nature. However, once they determined it posed no immediate threat, they removed it from the site and handed it over as evidence for the detectives that arrived on the scene.

 

“Let’s make no mistake about it, this thing could have caused some serious damage, as crude as it was. However, we almost immediately determined it was trigger-activated, and once we knew it couldn’t be ignited remotely we just handed it over to the boys in blue”, stated Lt. Sal Murphy from the BCFD.

 

The billionaire initially denied placing the explosive device, but immediately cracked under interrogation.

 

“He went from denying everything to singing like a canary as soon as we arrived downtown and started demanding answers”, confirms Maj. Harlan DeFazio, in charge of the case. “He knew the entire team had a practice scheduled at 7 A.M., and he stated that he wanted everything ‘to be over right away’. He said he couldn’t stand anyone anymore, not Cam Cameron, not Ted Ginn Jr., no Jason Taylor, not the cheerleaders... He was a broken man. And we were still on the ‘good cop’ part of the interrogation process”.

 

Lawyers representing Mr. Huizenga soon arrived at the precinct and are still awaiting a judge’s decision regarding bail. They also issued a statement denying claims that Mr. Huizenga had just bought a $5,000,000 fire insurance policy on the name of “The Miami Dolphins Organization”.

 

“Oh, we’ve seen cases like these before: The business isn’t doing good, so you take a fire insurance policy for whatever you can get, and then you try to get away with arson. Yes, it’s pretty desperate, but I guess these are desperate times for the Huizengas”, concluded Major DeFazio.

 

Practice for the team resumed at around 1 P.M., amongst heightened security. No statements have been made by any other members of the Dolphins.
