No honor roll for Marks brothers
[intro]Mark Duper and Mark Clayton are the Dolphins' two most prolific wide receivers, but neither can catch a break when it comes to making the team's Honor Roll.
The Dolphins confirmed Monday that no players will be selected for induction this season.

Duper and Clayton combined for 1,061 receptions for 17,512 yards and 140 touchdowns in the 1980s and early 1990s. Dan Marino, who completed almost all of those passes, lobbied for both during his Honor Roll induction in 2000.
Senior Vice President/Media Relations Harvey Greene said there will be no Honor Roll selections because of other ceremonies. Hall of Fame fullback Larry Csonka will have his No. 39 jersey retired at halftime on Dec. 9 (vs. Chicago). There will also be a 30th anniversary celebration of the Dolphins' perfect season. Csonka led the Dolphins in rushing in 1972 with 1,117 yards.
While considered two of the best, Clayton and Duper were no strangers to controversy. Duper was dogged by allegations of cocaine use and spent time in a rehabilitation center in 1995. Clayton became known as a malcontent.
The Dolphins would prefer to honor Clayton and Duper in the same ceremony.
The roll is selected through the input of longtime team officials.
There are 13 Honor Roll members, with Marino and wide receiver Nat Moore (1999) the most recent.
