I probably won't get too many honest replys from the macho front, but I'll ask anyway.

What part of Dan's induction speech made you choke up? Tell the truth! If you're a real Dan Marino fan I know your bottom lip at least quivered if nothing else:cry:
I almost made it through the whole speech until the end. The part that got me is quoted in my sig.
 
Actually, it was when he gave his condolences to Jim Kelly and his family. Maybe it's being a new dad myself, but I couldn't hold the tears back with just that one! Other than that, I actually broke a tear when he talked about how lucky he was to play in Miami for 17 years. It got me to thinking of all the games I saw and how lucky I was to grow up watching this guy, and how my daughter will just have to hear it from me, not being able to see it herself!

Man - it brought back all the old magic!
 
I would say that your sig pretty much sums it up. It was fantastic to watch on TV, I can only imagine what it felt like to be there in person.

Honestly, I enjoyed Dan's speech and had a big smile on my face the whole time, never once got choked up when he was speaking(I did reflect on the all great years he gave us fans tho)....but I was teary eyed durning his son's speech, its like I got a look into the the family life of dan marino.

Yes, I was touched by the wishes to Jim and his wife also. Very classy of Dan to remember a rival QB on HIS day.

great avatar!!
 
I was in tears almost the entire way, esp. when they showed highlights. we were spoiled for 17 years. Now we have nothing, and had nothing with Fiedler. Shula should have invested in a QB that Marino could have molded, like Favre is going to do with Rogers

It was the highlight reel they showed of him. After the QB play we've been exposed too lately, it just seemed the greatness we've been blessed with at the QB position during his 17 year career was so long ago. I smiled the whole entire speech. We as Dolfans were truly blessed to have Dan as our QB. Whenever our Fins were losing, I had no doubt in my mind that Dan would lead us to victory, and most of the time he came through. Fans from other teams can not make that statement about any of their QBs.

Here's to the most prolific passer of all time!
There will never be another one like him.

:drinkers: :beerbang: :xii:
 
I had to smile when he thanked all of the other teams for passing on him so that he could play for the Dolphins and Shula. Warms the heart.
 
okay...i'll tell you all the truth...i got a little teary eyed when...Marino came out on stage...that's right...when he first walked out...and the crowd was yelling Danny Danny Danny...and you could see that he was about to lose it...he got up and waved but you could see how suprised he was...at that point i thought...i'm very proud to be a Dolphins Fan.

GO FINS!!!
 
I heald it together through most of it until the end, when he threw that last deep dall. That was classy, and I knew it would be the last past I'd see Marino pass to his favotire reciever. I lost it, but had a huge smile on my face!!
 
Although I didn't cry at all during the ceremony, I was a bit saddened throughout it. Watching him try and hold it together while his son was giving his speech and when the crowd was calling for him gave me those nervous butterflies. When he threw the ball, it gave me chills. I only wish Clayton would had run out like Danny wanted.
 
I can't say that I cried... but I think the wife turned off the AC or somthing, 'cause not too long after Dan-o started his schpiel I kept having to wipe sweat from under my eyes.

:goof:
 
I got teary eyed. Did the old fake yawn trick so my fiance' wouldn't know I was teary.
 
I did :cry:. I mean Dan is and will always be my favorite miami dolphin as well as my favorite football player period!!! Dan is the Man!!! So yes I cried....who wants to make something of it :D
