Jackie Gleason? Well that was a while ago. If we're not counting owners, yeah I guess it's Darius Rucker, who now is a bigger celeb than he had been with Hootie and the Blowfish (he's now a country music SUPERstar)
Gleason's pretty cool (I didn't know he was a Fins fan) but Darius Rucker's really our "biggest" celeb fan? Even the Raiders have someone cool like Snoop Dog. Dolphins get no love

I'm okay with it (the no-love from Celebs). We're already overrun with celebrity owners; I'm happy with regular folks liking our team.
As for Gleason, he did his TV show based out of Miami Beach for many years, and in one of the old films showing the establishment of the franchise in the 60s, I remember seeing Gleason stepping out of a limo at the Orange Bowl to catch a game.

I saw most of those too....but the only one I *really* believe is Depp because he's from Broward.
Touring musicians can be photographed wearing the logo of any team from any city their concert tours run through. I once saw Flava Flav rapping with a Dolphins helmet on. But that was because he was opening for U2 at JRS...interestingly The Edge must have left his Phins Gear on the bus that night.
I only believe more documentable cases such as Darius.
I read something about Johnny Depp when he was talking about how big a fan he was of the phins. The rest I have my doubts, I doubt The Edge is much of an NFL fan. But Trick Daddy is for sure, he wore a Sam Madison jersey on one of his album covers
