Some Sad News Today...

Star-divide

Dan Marino's Father passed away today at the age of 71. Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga said in a statement that the team was saddened to learn of the death of the former quarterback's father.

"A visible member of the Dolphins family, he was one of the team's biggest fans ever since we drafted Dan in 1983," he said. "Along with his wife, Veronica, Dan Sr. instilled a sense of character in his son and raised him to be a model husband, father and citizen. We want to extend our sympathies to Veronica, Dan and the entire Marino family."
