Okay so I am doing a an Informative Speech in my Fundamentals of Speech Class and I am doing it on Dan Marino. So basically I am just informaing the class about him as an athlete, his accomplishments, his attributes, ect.

We have to have visual aids in a Power Point presentation as well

I need some clips of Dan playing that I could put in the power point. I'd like to have the fake spike play, as well as some other memorables.

Can anyone help me out and show me where I could get these clips or perhaps send them to me? Because I have to save them and then insert them into the power point.

Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also feel free to put in some things I should add in my speech :)
 
I'd suggest telling your teacher that Power Point takes even the most attentive crowd and puts them into a comatose like moribund state that will completely ruin any message that you are trying to get across.

Bottom line worst, most overused program ever.
 
Ture, but its not a Power Point presentation exactly. We're just using the program for a few slides, 3 or 4, for visual aids.

Sorry...I have a virulent dislike for Power Point.....

If the subject is merely informative on Dan Marino it seems straightforward enough....Go from childhood on up, progressivly getting more detailed as his professional career goes on, culminateing with the HOF induction. I'd end it on the highpoint and not bother with his FO stint or any other sundry things. YouTube's probably your best bet for videos.

How about some Dan Marino Quotes-

As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.

I don't need to be motivated by anybody. Never have.

I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami.

I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

I look at it this way. I'm not putting age limits on what I can do. As long as I can do the job to help the team win and feel like I'm playing at a high level, which I feel I can do for a long while, I'm going to play no matter what my age is.

I think I have a passion for playing the game. I love to play, and I want to play at a high level. You have to do the right things in order to continue at that level.

I think I'm going to be around awhile.

I think it's more and more important to spend time with your children, because it seems to be harder and harder for them to succeed as their parents have succeeded.
I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers, which helps. It's not just me doing it.

I throw better than anybody in college and I can throw with anybody in the pros. There, that's what I think.

I try to play my game and that's being emotional because I'm that kind of guy.

I want to know what it's like to play in a Super Bowl and win one. My career will be great without it. But, personally, selfishly, I want to know what it feels like.

I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.

I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.

If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself.

It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.

It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help.

My parents would always say, 'It doesnt' matter if it's a guy picking up the garbage or the President of the United States, treat everybody as you would want to be treated.

Obviously I'm not 21 anymore, but I think I can still throw with anybody.

Sometimes, I wish we were all amateurs again. I'd play for nothing. Ab-so-lute-ly free. But that's not the system.

There is no defense against a perfect pass. I can throw the perfect pass.

We were talking about how old quarterbacks can't throw before 10 am... Practice starts too early for us. Wake me up in the middle of the night and I can throw. I can throw anytime.

We're not running the ball again until we get ahead. Shula was calling the plays, but I told them, 'I don't care what he calls. We're throwing every pass from now until we get the lead.' To Shula's credit, he always gave me that option.

We've been blessed with four beautiful children. Michael, he doesn't have much of a problem anymore. He is high functional, probably because of early intervention.

You can do more, you can always do more.

You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There's no faking that kind of emotion. You can't invent the feeling. It's got to be natural, real.

:lol: Too true.
 
one big thing about PowerPoint, don't use red and blue on the same page!!! it hurts my eyes to even think about it. also don't use black on white, use more of a dark purplish color that resembles black.

Well i guess that was more than 1 thing...

If i knew more than the average Dol-Fan knew about Marino then i would gladly help you but as it turns out, we were well into the Fiedler era by the time i was a fin fan.

Lots of luck though!

That's due more to your natural aversion to the jills.

Reason #384750383754 the jills suck: they look horrible on PowerPoint.
