Hah, never thought I'd see the word 'bust' mentioned when talking about Dan Marino. I'm sure some Jets fan tried it at some point.

I dragged this out the other day to look at and read through...​

This weekend is gonna be so cool!!!

Also, ironically, there is a huge story on Steve Young (@ BYU). Even more ironically, the next article after Steve Young is on Jerry Rice (@ Mississippi Valley State). What a time capsule.

I actually don't really like Dan's bust. I think they made him look really old.
