Dan Marino Signs One-Day Contract

[four9erfan]

SAN FRANCISCO--Former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino has come out of retirement to sign a one-day contract with the San Francisco 49ers, allowing him to officially retire a member of a franchise that won 4 Super Bowls during his storied career. Marino, in an emotional ceremony, said he was happy to finally be able to retire a winner.

“This is a special day for me and my family,” Marino told the attendees. “We have always respected the 49ers organization and the 49ers way of playing football. To be able to retire a member of the team that won 4 Super Bowls during my pro career is an honor. I feel like a true champion now, even though I never technically played on any of the teams. Whatever. The strength and conditioning coach didn’t play either, and they gave him a Super Bowl ring.”

The signing brings closure for Marino to a career spent admiring the 49ers from afar.

“I guess it’s just one of those things where I felt like I was a member of the organization even though I wasn’t playing for them,” he said. “To have to retire a Dolphin was rather heartbreaking. It felt wrong. It felt incomplete. Now I’ve finally come full circle, from a player who could never win a Super Bowl to a player signing a one-day contract with a team that’s won several. Move over, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. You’re going to have some company in the Ring of Valor or the Circle of Awesomeness or whatever the hell you call it here.”

Hehe... I guess he didn't fall for it. A little earlier, I told a friend (Eagles fan) thatDonovan McNabb got injured during practice because an offensive linemen fell on him... He didn't fall for it. :(

Well two things:

1. People know the Brushback at this point, so they expect it.

2. You'd have to have no knowledge of football to actually believe this at any point. But everyone here has at least some intelligence.
