Peyton Manning take heed.
Hmmmm. I guess Jimmy Johnson won't be there. LOL
Back when Bradshaw was feeling his age in the early 80's I was wishing sooo hard that the Steelers would have found a way to get Marino back then. Had they found a way to get Marino *and* Tony Dorsett (both local talent) they'd have won 8 superbowls by now, and Marino wouldn't have had to languish in Miami without a ring, much less having his own shot at one for the thumb.
Yeah Dan, they offered me the job too.....
Marino may be the best pure passer in NFL history. It's sad he never had a Superbowl. It wasn't his fault. I think that some sports commentators weight that too much.
I guess I didn't know the Vikings offered, but then that would fit their pattern of bringing in past-their-prime nearly washed up QB's to run the team. Marino did the right thing, IMO. I'm a longtime Dolphins hater and still always respected him.
Unfortunatly for him, he and Barry Sanders are probably the two best players to play the game without winning a Super Bowl(or NFL title before then).
That head-game passing stunt for TD he pulled on the Jets (feigning a rundown of the clock) was the highpoint of his career.
Sure it does - football is a team game. Individual players don't win championships, teams do.
As comes up every thread, put Tom Brady on a bottom dweller and see how many superbowls he wins.
So glad that Dan decided against playing for the Vikings. Just can't stand those purple people eaters!! It would have been interesting to see what he could have done with the Steelers.
as a Bears fan - I wish to hell he'd made the Black & Gold move in '85....
