Dan Marino pulls an Arnie

[Urethra Franklin]

Keep it in your pants, boys:

From Pro Football Talk:

Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino has admitted that he is the father of a 7-year-old child with a production assistant he worked with at CBS.

When the New York Post questioned Marino about rumors that he had a child with a former coworker, Marino provided the paper with a written statement confirming the story and saying that he has taken care of his child while also staying married to his wife of 28 years.

“This is a personal and private matter,” Marino said. “I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved. My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together. And we continue to be a strong and loving family.”

Marino, who will work the Super Bowl pregame show on Sunday, has reportedly paid millions of dollars in child support.

LACES OUT, DAN

I bet Marino was pretty pissed when he a kid popped out instead of it being the worst case of hemorrhoids he'd ever seen.

I truly am disappointed to have found this out and it really does make me think less of Dan Marino the man. With his foundation to help autism and him never going to the Pro Bowl because of his caring for his autistic son, I always thought Dan was one of those guys who wasn't one who let stardom get to his head and think he is untouchable. He was also the only one of the football guys on the CBS NFL Today who wasn't an complete a**hole, I thought.

I wont be able to think that way now.

To be fair, if he thought he was untouchable, he could ignore his illegitimate child. From the sounds of things, he has been providing for them and keeping their privacy.

It is not ideal, sure, but there really isn't a better way to handle this situation, once it's begun.

He may have done that, but a million dollars was to keep her silent.

Or to provide for the baby. By the sounds of the story, the wife knew about it already. Who else's business was it?

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, why is it that you wanted to think the best of Manti T'eo before facts were out, but are much more cynical of Marino?

Probably because Dan Marino was cheating on his wife and his family. Also the whole sleeping with an co-worker rubs me the wrong way.
