Scumbag Move Of The Week



Congratulations, Dan Marino! You made a total ass of yourself on the CBS Pre-Game Show today and anytime anyone comes off looking like a bigger ass than me, it's worthy of celebration. What were you thinking, trying to chop block your interview "guest" Peyton Manning, at every opportunity? Yes, everyone knows he's going to break your single-season touchdown record, but DUDE, show some class.

For those who missed it, here's a recap of Dan Marino's interview with Peyton Manning:

-- Marino starts off by thanking Manning for all the re-newed attention he's been getting lately. Scumbag move!

-- Cuts to a clip of Marino's record 48th TD pass in 1973 or whatnot. Isn't this supposed to be a Manning interview? Scumbag move!

-- Marino pontificates that throwing TDs are easier in today's game because DB's aren't allowed to bump receivers like in the old days. Scumbag move!

-- Is Manning going to get a word in edgewise? Or sock Marino in the teeth? Cmon! Do something!

-- Marino closes by implying that offenses are built differently these days, specifically, that offenses now throw the ball when inside the 5, whereas they almost never did in his day. Then Marino whips out a stat! He turns to Manning and goes, "I had 2 TDs from inside the 5 that entire years, and this year, you ALREADY have 4!!!" Scumbag move!
