[FONT=Verdana,Arial, Helvetica]DAVIE · Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard, who backed up Dan Marino with the Dolphins from 1997-99, said he almost got his golfing pal the Super Bowl ring he's always wanted.

Although he threw one incomplete pass in three seasons, Huard earned two Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots while backing up Tom Brady from 2001-03. "Brady got hurt in the Pittsburgh game, the AFC Championship [in 2001-02], and I did lobby to Coach [Bill] Belichick that if Tom wasn't ready to go, we should go sign Dan to get him on the roster so we could get him a Super Bowl ring," Huard said via conference call Wednesday.[/FONT]

I doubt Marino would have signed anyways.

Dan would never had done this....it just goes to show you that getting a SB ring doesn't make you great.
