NFL Celebrity Owners: Would Bon Jovi Be More 'Bad Medicine' for the League?

Jon Bon Jovi is looking into buying approximately 15 percent of the Atlanta Falcons for around $150 million.

That would make this the latest NFL franchise to officially begin a celebrity owner ring, thus joining the Miami Dolphins as the second laughingstock of the league. 

In case you cannot tell, I am not a strong proponent of this: not for the Falcons or the NFL, and it has nothing at all to do with Bon Jovi. I, like so many people, grew up a fan of his songs. But this is different. This is about the football. This is about the Falcons.

The Dolphins have many celebrity minority owners. That is why many people forget that Stephen Ross is the majority owner and has controlling interest in the Miami Dolphins. He is a very intelligent businessman who has succeeded in many things in life.

But allowing such celebrities as Serena and Venus Williams, Gloria Estefan, Fergie, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to buy into the franchise has not gone well.

Never has the team been run more poorly. Coincidence or not, it has not helped the image of the team in anyone's mind.

Oh, and Magic Johnson is the latest celebrity to have an interest in buying a piece of the team. And everyone knows that everything he touches turns to gold, right?

So in my usual sarcastic and comedic way, I would like to provide an A-Z list of why Bon Jovi buying a piece of the Dirty Birds would not be a good idea. Anyone who ever listened to his songs growing up should recognize the tracks from this list...

All Talk, No Action - That is what happens when celebs get involved with anything.

Bad Medicine - That is not what the doctor ordered for this team to succeed. They need secondary help, and Bon Jovi cannot suit up for this team.

Complicated - It is what things get when famous people venture into something outside their world.

Destination Anywhere - Anywhere but here, that is.

Everyday - Would bring more jokes and negative attention.

Fear - It scares the hell out of me that Arthur Blank is actually considering this even a little.

Get Ready - For all of the jokes.

Hollywood Dreams - Don't translate into NFL championships.

I Don't Like Mondays - Well they're kind of important in this game.

Judgment Day - That is what happens when you lose in this league.

Keep the Faith - But keep the celebs out of this organization.

Livin' On a Prayer - Let's hope those are the only chances he has of making this a reality.

Maybe Someday - But not today. Or tomorrow for that matter. Or...

Not Fade Away - But feel free. Really. Go ahead.

Only In My Dreams - One can only hope so.

Player Haters - Never a good quality in an owner. Trust me.

Queen of New Orleans - What does it tell you that the only song of his listed for Q references our NFC South rivals?

Runaway - And hide, while you're at it.

Say it Isn't So - Seriously.

The End - I hope there is no beginning to this disaster.

Ugly - What is "the result of celebs buying NFL teams, Alex?"

V - OK, he doesn't have a song listed for V, but I vow this would not go well.

Who Says You Can't Go Home? - Certainly not me. Stay in New Jersey, please.

X - He has nothing for X either. I've got nothing for you.

You Give Love a Bad Name - Just don't give the Falcons a bad name.

Z - All I can say that if this happens, Atlanta will become a zoo-like atmosphere as far as football is concerned.

The league already has enough attention from the owners and their interaction with players and the media. They do not need anything else like the craziness that this would create.
