When Gloria Estefan made the deal with Stephen M. Ross to become a minority owner in the Miami Dolphins in June, the terms of the deal were not released.

Anyone who watched ESPN this weekend, though, saw video proof of the price Ms. Estefan paid to play the game, so to speak.

(The country star has, of course, performed the opening theme to Monday Night Football since 1991, and has won four Emmy awards.)

Notice the lyrics "Esta lista para football?" and "El Monday Night Party!"

Rush Limbaugh, consider yourself warned.
