Anybody know about this?

I really hope this anecdote doesn't end with "...and so we drafted Blackledge instead."

You know, it was something like that, Mr. Rain Man.

It is, admittedly, a vague and somewhat disturbing memory. But, I remember hearing that somewhere.

I found a site that talks about it. The year was 1983.

"We’re about to witness the greatest stroke of Dolphins fortune since the Kansas City Chiefs worked out Todd Blackledge and Dan Marino on successive days, thought Blackledge was the real deal and set into motion Marino’s draft-day freefall to the Dolphins’ 27th pick."

Interesting factoid:

Marino was drafted by baseball's Kansas City Royals, but opted to attend the University of Pittsburgh.

Here's more. La BM is a reference to John Mackovic.

Before the draft, La BM reportedly worked out Marino at Arrowhead Stadium. Marino was zipping spirals downfield in a simulated game and showed some audible displeasure at a Chiefs receiver when he dropped a pass. Goodness, thought La BM, we can't have that! So with the 7th overall pick in the draft, La BM passed up on the over competitive Marino and Jim Kelly and instead picked Penn State's do gooder Todd Blacklidge.

"Hey Champ... how about you sit the next few plays out, okay?"

Coach · 12-13-2006, 08:34 PM

Heh, if somebody has Anger issues, it's Peyton Manning.

That was Nick Buoniconti of the '72 Dolphins.

Anyway, last week after the Colts got killed, Boomer was on the air, and he said, "The way things are going, I think Peyton Manning will go down in history as the greatest quarterback to never win a Super Bowl." When he said that, the camera was close in on his face, and I was yelling at the TV, "Show Marino! Show Marino!" I really enjoy his reaction to statements like that.

well, didnt Boomer really get Marino angry one time by saying "I dont want Peyton Manning to be remembered as another Dan Marino"? didnt he do that last year?

I think he referred to Peyton Manning as "The Modern Day Marino".

Thats the one where Dan's face turned almost purple and it looked like his head would explode.
