Um minuto de silêncio...

Em razão da morte de Daniel Constantino Marino Sênior, pai do maior QB da história, não só do Miami, mas de toda a NFL.

I want to take a moment to send my sympathy to Dan Marino and his family over the loss of his father, Daniel C. Marino Sr., who died Saturday at 71 after a lengthy illness. Dan, I know I am echoing everyone who has worked with you in your second life - -the TV one -- when I say: Your father and mother raised a heck of a man, and that is the best tribute of all when it comes to parents. My sincere condolences. I'll never forget my first year at HBO's "Inside the NFL'' show, when, at the end of the year, after the last show, I had to leave the wrap party early because my mother was seriously ill. Dan walked from across the room, gave me a big hug, and said, "Anything I can do to help, you just let me know.'' When you were on Dan's team, he was a terrific teammate. Good luck in dealing with everything, Dan.
