Doing it
I saw there was some discussion on CBS taking Dan off the show a bit ago:
I think I wish CBS the best in keeping "Inside the NFL'' a great show, and I believe the network will do a great job. I'm not just blowing smoke either; I look forward to the jousts between Cris Collinsworth and Phil Simms, who will rise to the occasion with a good provocateur like Collinsworth leading interesting midweek discussions on the issues around the league.
But I think CBS made a major mistake in not including Dan Marino in the cast. As someone who worked with Marino for six years on the HBO "Inside the NFL'' show, I saw the magnetism he brought to the show every week, and I saw when we went in the field how much the public worshipped the guy. I listened with respect to the opinions he voiced on offensive football and quarterback play that were right on the money; he's been railing, correctly, over the years, about Donovan McNabb not being in the shotgun, and how much it has hurt the Eagle offense, and he's so right. I do understand the reticence to have the two-white-quarterbacks-on-the-set thing, but Marino is synonymous with the show, and I think the public will miss him greatly on Showtime.
