Remember all that talk about former Chiefs president Carl Peterson going to Miami as the top executive job with the Dolphins?

Apparently, it was all talk.

The Dolphins new owner, Stephen Ross, a friend of Peterson's from their days with the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL, announced Sunday that Michael Dee has been hired as the Dolphins' chief executive Officer of the team and Dolphin Stadium.

Peterson, meanwhile, appears quite refreshed and relaxed in retirement, or shall we say his sabbatical from football after 20 years running the Chiefs.

He attended Tony Gonzalez' farewell news conference last week in Kansas City after just returning from a trip to Scotland.

And he's making preparations for the late Derrick Thomas' induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August. Peterson will speak on behalf of Thomas, who died in 2000.

The job in Miami seemed ideal for Peterson. Dee will be responsible for the business development and growth of both the Dolphins and the refurbished stadium.

He will oversee the marketing and sales effort of the Dolphins, as well as "new initiatives and capital projects at Dolphin Stadium that will offer the stadium’s patrons a live game-day experience unmatched anywhere in the country," according to the club.

Sounds like Arrowhead in the 1990s, doesn't it?

Bill Parcells will continue to oversee all of the Dolphins football operations, reporting directly to Ross.
