Not even the Dolphins are insane enough to sign The Rock

Rest easy, weary Dolphins fans. The team isn't signing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. At least we don't think they are.

Rest easy, weary Dolphins fans. The team isn't signing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. At least we don't think they are. But a photograph of The Rock wearing a Dolphins uniform showed up online recently because, according to the fine folks at BroBible.com, he's shooting a television show for HBO titled, "Ballers."

Details, via IMDB: "A series centered around a group of football players and their families, friends, and handlers."

Short on specifics, but The Rock, an executive producer along with Mark Wahlberg, plays the lead character, Spencer Strasmore, a retired player who once suited up for the Dolphins.

According to BroBible.com, The Rock had Instagram'd the photo above -- before later deleting it -- with this caption:

"‘I meant to hurt you that day. Nothin’ dirty… just to punish. It’s how I played the game – relentless and punishing.’ ~ #92 Spencer Strasmore #Flashbacks #OfAFutureHallOfFamer."

If nothing else, expect any football scenes to be slightly more realistic than your run-of-the-mill Hollywood sports-themed cinematic experience. The Rock, then known as Dwayne Johnson, played for the University of Miami in the early 1990s.
