Miami: Meet your new GM...Dan Marino

I like Dan as a player but as a person he is a douchebag. I remembered vividly going to an autograph signing event with a friend and his son. We waited in like for autographs and he turned down signing autographs by the time his son was next and pretty much look at his dad and said no more autographs. His son looked super sad over it. Furthermore Dan rarely has anything positive to say about the fins. He picks us to lose every time before games on Sundays. He doesn't want anyone beating his Miami records. And to think he doesn't even har a ring.

Autographs are pointless. What's there to say positively about the Phins recently? Picking them to win doesn't make a difference to anyone. It doesn't mean he hates the team. Why would you want your records to be broken anyway?

That's an interesting story. I lived in Miami from 2004-2006...moved out there for work from Vegas. I saw Dan on the Beach one day and really thought hard about approaching him. I weighed the situation out for a few minutes because I really didn't want to disturb him. He was alone. No family or friends around. I felt like it was an ok time to go and possibly get a handshake....no autograph request.

I walked up to him and extended my hand and he looked up to me as he was sitting down. I said something like - "Mr. Marino I've watched you since I was a kid growing up in Vegas and" - He interrupted me and just said "I'm busy" as he stared off at nothing. I was pretty put off and embarrassed. I pretty much just told him 'thank you for your time' and walked away. I loved watching the man throw the football through the years, but unfortunately in my eyes, the man is a prick.

:lol:

You should've thrown sand in his face
 
All Marino can do is throw a football and be on tv..Thats it..he can do no more.
 
I think if he REALLY wanted to....


Naw, he still couldn't do the job. :chuckle:

I liked that line in Pet Detective where Carey and Marino are insulting each other and Carey calls him a Dumb Jock.

He has a good sense of humor, but he is a joker not a GM. As for Elway, he is obviously doing well. Denver's defense last year was the REAL story not the space cadet at QB.
 
What has Elway done exactly? He managed to sign a 36-year old quarterback recovering from a serious injury to a $100 mil. deal? The Manning experiment is not going to end well and everyone who wanted him in a Dolphins uniform will be backpedaling, pretending they never wanted the guy here in the first place. It would be tragic if his career ended much like his father's. If anyone recalls Archie Manning in Oiler or Viking uniforms, you'll know what I mean.

I think he is the only man that can save the Miami Dolphins now. Look at what Elway is doing in Denver.

NEVER going to happen. Here's why. Dan gets about $2 million a year doing his NFL pre-game show on CBS. He flies to NYC on Friday afternoon and is back home on Sunday night. Dan doesn't want to work 15 hour days as a GM.
 
No Ireland deserves the chance without Parcells to prove he is the right GM for the Dolphins.
