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!'"

    Why are you all so mean....are you jealous of his money and success..because that is what it sounds like to me. Regardless of his lack of looks or height Marc A has a beautiful voice and most of you dont! He's married to J Lo and has a family, they are blessed be happy for them.

    Ummm... he does remember that he has other kids, right? You know, the ones he left to be with J Lo. I wonder if he was planning on those sons playing football too.
