What a schmuck!
My initial reaction was 'Of course' but then, when I thought about it, the true answer is actually 'Probably not'. I decided the Dolphins was my favourite team in the NFL when I watched a Phins game and they won a close aerial battle. Without Marino chances are that game wouldn't have been shown on UK TV and the opposing team (Who, it turns out, I can't remember) may well have won it. I certainly wouldn't have been so impressed by the QB as I was in that game. Of course, as I wrote, they may well not have screened that game anyway without Marino and I could well have been writing on something like a Giants board instead (Although I doubt it as one of my brothers liked the Giants and I didn't like my brother). They were the big team the year I started watching football ('86).
