Perception overshadows reality in Miami's moves

Shrewd move by Wayne Huizenga to bring back old No. 13. Dan Marino is as popular in south Florida as The Mouse is a couple hundred miles up Florida's Turnpike. Marino's association with the Dolphins will enhance the team's image and should make for a fantastic bobble-head day.

But assuming Marino isn't planning on taking any snaps next season, his joining the Dolphins as director of football operations probably isn't going to result in so much as a first down. Although Huizenga pointedly explained the hiring of Marino is not just a marketing campaign, he did not do a very good job of explaining what Marino is.

Nice putt, Mr. Huizenga. You da man.

You know what... I stopped reading what non-dolphin fan writers have to say about the Marino hire. They have no credibility with me... Kinda like Armondo and maybe even Cole, those Dolphin haters.

I guess I didn't see that much wrong with that article. What's the problem?
