say it ain't so, Danny?

I have a signed Marino jersey hanging in my basement. While it was always a symbol that harkened back to a hero from my childhood, it will now double as a reminder that my #1 priority in life is to be a good husband and father.

Guys I wasn't expecting to hear anything like this morning , so to say the least, I'm in shock and in utter disappointment about this news.

I simply do not understand why a person so blessed would look elsewhere.

Looks like Dan was right all along, that Dan Marino Sr. was the real "hero".

I pray for his family.

Really like your attitude on this. Nice idea.

If there was ever a way to find the truth about nfl players infidelities and it came back that 90% of players cheated on their wives, I would not be shocked at all. People tend put athletes on a pedestal but in reality they shouldn't. As charles barkley put it, I'm not a role model.

Listen, it is definitely good that he is financially supporting this girl, but I think we can safely assume that he does not have a complete "father" relationship with this girl if he has had to cover it up for 6 years and he has his own family to deal with. I come from a situation where my dad wasn't a major part of my life growing up, and trust me, it has an impact.

Not knocking single parents because that is truly a difficult path to take, but the latest and best sociological research shows that children who are raised in single parent homes instead of two parent homes have a statistically significant increased incidence of several outcomes that can be considered negative. These include a higher incidence of being jailed for crime, a higher incidence of teen pregnancy a higher incidence of alcohol and drug addiction, and a higher incidence of future broken families. It is my hope that the daughter can overcome the lack of an involved father-figure in her life and grow to be a well-adjusted adult.

I think this is about the best thing that has been said in this entire thread.

This is sad to hear, it just shows no matter what the reputation unless you actually know these guys you really don't know them. Dan had a great reputation and this soils it. I hated facing him but I admired everything about marino on and off the filed, now it's just on the field.

Could be worse, he could have lived his life like Joe Nemeth in continuous controversy and embarrassment.
