    Marino was a tinderbox from 1997-99, and for obvious reasons.

    No joke. Jimmy Johnson tried to turn him into a handoff machine. Can you picture Paul Brown trying to install a spread offense with Jim Brown lining up in the backfield. Switch it around, and that's what Hairspray did. Johnson's massive ego dictated that he run the Dallas system in Miami.

    While I understand Johnson was a winner, he was a system coach. If his players couldn't run his one system, Johnson was toast. See the Dolphins in Marino's last years.

    Sam, Hairspray made John Avery a first rounder one year. Avery -- the guy who went on to great glory in the XFL. Enough said.

    Too many dumb questions at these press conferences.

    But my point is a player saying that in response to a column, where a writer is pulling the "he has no heart".... "he's soft".... crapola.

    Writers can ask whatever questions they want.

    I saw the Johnson-Marino marriagef as doomed by both their egos. I always got the idea Marino didn't WANT a legit RB behind him. I'm sure Columbo or another Dolphins/Marino fan will tell me I'm full of shit.

    Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in Hell.

    Would you like a cookie, son?

    You just sort of got that feeling, huh?

    And a column is born.

    Sort of what I have been talking about as a negative aspect of our profession right now.

    columbo, I'm not WRITING a column about this.

    I'm just stating an opinion.

    If you don't like it, I'm sure you'll fucking live.

    That makes the difference between that and the column-writing process exactly ... what?

    That this is a message board?

    And the difference between this and you besmirching the character of every MLB writer who has ever issued a ROY, MVP, Cy Young or HOF vote that you didn't approve of is exactly...what?

    That's been the only real bad weather game in five years since the new stadium opened.
