Unforgettable.... Touched by Marino - on the field and off

From OBAR13@aol.com
My favorite moment was when I met Dan personally at Disney World. I held up pretty well through meeting Byars, Kosar, Kidd, Fryar, Sims and Cox... but there HE was... to meet and shake the hand of a man you've admired for so many years, finally. He was so sweet, and so patient, and so humble... and there I was... shaking the hand that threw more touchdowns than anyone in the NFL ever has or probably ever will. Sigh. Where's the smelling salt?

It's September 4, 1994. Pats vs. Fins at JRS. This is Dan Marino's first game following his Achilles tendon injury and surgery. He has worked hard to come back strong, but has many people believing he is finished. We all remember the game and the outcome, but my favorite moment was when it was a third down, broken play..and ....all of Florida and half the football-watching nation held their breaths...Irving Fryar yelled, "no, Danny, don't do it!" and still..there he was..taking off up the field..to the muddy infield and in he dives for a first down. No one had any doubt after that. The game was far from over at that point, but his fans knew. No way was Dan going to lose this one.
