Marc Anthony: Son Max Has "Good Shot" at Being Football Player

Forget singing! Marc Anthony wants his son Max to become a football player!

"There's no question that my son Max is going to be a linebacker of some sort," he said at an NFL press conference in NYC Tuesday. "He's showing more promise every day!"

Anthony -- who became a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins after buying stake in the team -- is excited to bring the fun of football to one-year-old twins Max and Emme.

"Being born and raised here in New York, football and baseball have been ever present in our household," he said.

As for whether his two kids are avid sports fans in the making, he hopes at least one of them will get into the game.

"I think that the twins... Well, Max, anyway, has a good shot!" Anthony said, laughing.

And how does wife Jennifer Lopez -- who celebrated her 40th birthday on Friday -- feel about his decision to be a part of the Miami team?



"She's just thrilled," he said. "She's excited that were going to be down in Miami more, for one thing! That's the first thing I told Steve [Ross, owner of the Dolphins]. 'Boy, did your stock skyrocket once I go home and tell Jen that we're doing this!'"

I was thinking isn't his son a little guy. All the pics I have seen they both look little. Maybe if he has his mother's azz, then he can just knock people out of the way with it
