What a joke.

The Knicks sent a last minute intermediary to try to sway Lebron back to New York. Who did they send? Isiah Thomas, someone who has a full time job in Miami, LMAO!

You dont hurt me I am not a Knicks fan.

Dan Marino was a great quarterback, what do you expect when you are playing with guys that just aren't on the same level? Seriously, Marino had NOBODY to pass to, NO running game. It's hard being a QB when you aren't surrounded by talent.

This seems like a new paradigm, and it is happening more and more in America.

Losers, as long as they are able to band together with other losers, seemed tasked to tear down winners.

Those that strive for excellence and accomplish it, should inspire others to achieve as well.

It used to be that excellence, accomplishment, and achievement were attributes that the majority of Americans championed.

People usually hate those teams because the get to spend way more than everyone else (e.g Yankees) in order to win.

I never actually got to see how many years were on James, Bosh, and Wade's contracts until a couple of minutes ago. It's 6 years-110 million for Bosh and James, and 6 years-107 million for Wade, niceeeee .

Was at the arena tonight. Was awesome! Here is a video I got from youtube on it. Enjoy (especially you haters )...

Mark Duper and Mark Clayton were no one to pass to?

Granted during his time there the defenses and running game weren't rarely any good.

First of all, look when it was posted. It's called being a rager, I showed up on the miami forum to show you folks we're pissed off, it's part of the game, many try most lose one win, I'm throwing you guys a bone here.

Second, you will notice I changed the post, because I decided to put the original version in the nasf skybar and leave only the part about miami here. But I'm not going to ask a moron to learn new tricks, so I accept your apology.

Third of all, well nothing.



BTW don't feel bad about Cleveland. He already wasted 7 years there and brought them to the finals. He's already done enough for them.

CHILDISH no surprise from you. Enough said.

What a joke.

Your knowledge of sports would fit into a thimble with ample room to spare.

A "number" wasn't just retired for Dan Marino, he was a UNANIMOUS first-ballot Hall-of-Famer the instant he became eligible, and virtually none of those votes came from anyone even remotely connected to Miami or the Dolphins.

Maybe you're just a kid or some bitter New York putz angry about LeBron that thinks the entire world revolves around your very limited orbit of what constitutes greatness, but Dan Marino was a fabulously gifted athlete who set some of the highest benchmarks in NFL history. His toughness, talent and desire are questioned by NOBODY with even the slightest knowledge of the game.

Obviously, that equation excludes you.

Oh, and that "joke" of an organization called the Miami Heat has already won their first title and did so only four years ago (when you were 9, apparently). Please accept all our apologies they didn't just vanish into obscurity and lay down for the Godforsaken Knicks or whoever shoots your wad to be the team everyone is talking about. Boo freakin Hoo.

Come back with better material, and if it's Marino you want to talk I'm MORE than ready, child.

Marino had a wealth of great pass-catchers early in his career. Clayton, Duper, Nat Moore, Joe Rose, Jimmy Cefalo, Jim Jensen (and semi-forgotten guys like Bruce Hardy and Dan Johnson who were average talent-wise but smart and dependable).

No question Marino alone made ALL of them better just by his own great ability, but there was genuine talent in the receiving department.

The Dolphins failure in that era was the inability to put it all together. For all the offensive pyrotechnics, there was rarely a dependable runner and at the height of Dan's prowess the defense was just inept. As much as I revere Shula (as should any Miamian), he never got it right with that bunch.

They came close a few times, though, including that star-crossed year when Dan went down with the achilles injury in Cleveland.

His comeback game a year later in Week One in 1994 is legendary. His career was supposed to be over. He never again had the same bounce. But watch this---look at the score---and you tell me this wasn't one tough S.O.B. who did Miami proud.

I was privileged to be there that day and watch this man play football:

way to comeback strong, spell...wow!!!!!

Dan Marino was awesome, he was the Drew Brees of bygone days.

BTW, I was watching Sportscenter yesterday, the only time they broke from Lebronarama was for a random interview with Drew Brees (he does have a book coming out but I did not hear them mention that).

Agreed, except Marino played for DOLPHINS not HEAT. Who the hell retires a number for a player that played in ANOTHER LEAGUE, not just another team?

Celtics might as well retire 9 for Ted Williams. What a joke.

After that horrible email message the Cavs owner wrote about Lebron it is clear that some of the owners weren't behind him and players can sense that sort of thing. Even Lebron said it himself that he thought the Cavs would eventually trade him & also said he was glad to be in a different environment.

As for your comments:
Bitter,Bitter,go text & Twitter to someone who gives a snot! You lost King James cuz Cavs can't win games but now Miami will win alot!

LOL That's a good one. Did you come up with that gem all on your own? What I heard this morning sums it up best. What he did was equal to some guy dumbing his girlfriend via the jumbotron. He has no class (guess he'll fit in well in Miami) and doesn't deserve the respect of the good people of Ohio. I mean who the heck goes on National TV to tell the fans who have been cheering for him for all these years that he is now dumping them to go play in Miami. I'm sorry, but that was just wrong!

[Bobdreamz]

^ well I will agree that was a bad PR move on his part. Still that is no reason to call the people of Miami "classless" either!

You were the one rubbing it my face my friend, remember? Telling me I'm just upset because "we lost our king". Well, he is not my king and he never was. I don't even like basketball. But, I did live in Cleveland and while it's not my favorite city, I will say this, those people don't deseve to be humiliated on national TV. Not only has he hurt NE Ohio, but all of the people of Ohio. His "news conference" was a slap in our collective face. Like I said, I don't even like the game and even I was upset. But I'm sure none of this is new to you folks in Miami. Anyway, for the sake of civility, I apologize for my comment.
