Wow a Steelers fan agreeing the Packers Suck? You just lost a butt load of football fan points. Yes the man has put down the ball and gone to pasture. I need to stop hearing about it every 15 seconds... there is nothing else in Green Bay!! The time is right. I am glad he let go and turned the team over to Aaron Rodgers before he got sick of waiting and bailed. We have a good young team and we'll see what the future holds. I am happy to say I was at his last game at Lambeau. I am sad that memory will always be of his OT interception and falling short of the Superbowl. Believe me, we didn't stand and cheer him off the field thinking we would never see him again... I am happy my son got to see the man play. He will hold Favre in memory just as I hold Starr in mine. Now, Green Bay needs to return to the real world. We are suffering an all out media saturation bombing on Favre!!

Pax, It was all in fun. Anyone who is into football knows of the great history Green Bay has. Like I said, I will miss Farve also, he is a class act like, say, Bettis. I think the timing was right because overall he had a great season. Better to end on that note and not one like the 05 season. Scott Paxman wrote: Wow a Steelers fan agreeing the Packers Suck?

Ken, Man, I havent heard the Snake, Stabler, in a long time. Had forgotten about him till you mentioned him. I believe he made his debut against the Steelers in the 72 playoffs, when Franco made the immaculate reception. The rest was history. I only remember him as a Raider. If I may also ask, why you omitted Marino? Just curious. Scott BEGIN RANT: Okay…my opinion of Marino. I lived in Broward County, FL from 1970 to 1996. I was there when the Dolphin’s were a great team with Griese, Anderson, Buoniconte, Csonka, Warfield, Little, Yepremian, Morrall, Kiick, Morris, Langer, Kuchenberg, et al played. I was also there when Marino was a rookie. He had a great year for a multitude of reasons. He was a quick release guy and very accurate…but most of all, he was successful because the Dolphins still had a balanced offense, an outstanding offensive line and 4 of the greatest WR’s that ever played the game in Jimmy Cefalo, Mark Clayton, Mark Duper and Nat Moore. After his 1st season, Marino, like the spoiled brat he is, refused to honor his contract and report to training camp until the Dolphins more than tripled his pay (I personally think that any player that does this should be barred from the sport until his contract period ends - or life). The Dolphins acquiesced and Marino continued to play. He had no talent or ability to run the ball or even the talent to properly hand off the ball to a runner, thus controlling a running game. Over the next couple of years, Marino “forced” the Dolpins to play his game which consisted of passing the ball on virtually every play. Eventually, their running game was lost, and once the running game was lost, the passing game was lost also. Marino was a non-noteworthy QB also, because he was a terrible “field general”. He was not a team player, he was not even the team leader except by virtue of his position. He constantly (as can be seen in game films) berated his teammates in huddles and on the sidelines. He not only destroyed the balanced offense, he destroyed morale...and thus, he destroyed the team! On a personal level, while I was not an “acquaintance” of his, we did belong to the same Country Club and I was able to observe his personal behavior on several levels on a plethora of occasions. He was a demanding and obnoxious prima donna. He treated the staff and others like dirt with his temper tantrums and ridiculous personal service requirements. Most abhorrent, was his attitude toward children. When a child would ask him for an autograph, he would rarely give it unless paid. The usual response I heard when a child asked for an autograph was, “You got 5 bucks?” BTW, many of the professional athletes from the Dolphins, Marlins and HEAT were members of this club. None of the others acted in this manner. So, this is my personal experience, observation and opinion…it is why I will never speak highly of Marino. END RANT! KenC wroteHe was a demanding and obnoxious prima donna. So, this is my personal experience, observation and opinion…it is why I will never speak highly of Marino. END RANT! So he was the same a-hole off the field as he was on the field. I always felt Marino was a prick and thanks to Ken, I now know it to be true!!

Wow Ken! I am kind of speachless. Thats not the Marino that the press puts forward. I always thought he was good with kids. I have to admit that I really didnt follow the Dolphins because they were/are one of the Steelers main opponents who we Steeler fans love to hate. (Also cant stand them since they are my stepmothers favorite team).;) He is glorified around here since he is from Pitt. Your explanation of his attitude on and off the field really makes me rethink my opinion of him. Thanks for the insight, Scott

From what I was told by a player who spent a year with the dolphins when Marino was there ..... Marino was an Eddie Haskell .... if you know what that means .....he was an azz kiss with the owners and coaches, and would condensend to the players, and was a snitch of some sort .... this was one players opinion of Dan Marino ..... thats all I know myself..... except you could see him whine and complain all the time...... and it was always somebody elses fault ......and he would publicly berate linemen ..... Farve is a what you see is what he is ....trust me ....Ive known him from the first day he got to Green Bay untill now and if nothing else he is GENUINE !!! I cant wait untill I get to go golfing with him again , and take some of his doe :D
