Finally, a Miami Dolphins quarterback is trending on Twitter!
Unfortunately for long-suffering Fins fans, today’s tweets are mostly about legendary retired QB Dan Marino and his love child with a CBS Sports production assistant, exclusively reported in today’s Post.
Twitter users quickly latched on to Marino’s past work as pitchman for Isotoner gloves.
— @the_mcgone Maybe you should have looked into picking up a different kind of glove that time, Dan Marino
— @HumbleSportsGuy Apparently Dan Marino had an illegitimate kid with a CBS employee. If only Isotoner made a brand of condoms, then this could’ve been avoided
— @HickamsDictum Isotoner Commercial: ” Hi, I’m Dan Marino and if anyone knows the value of protection it’s me.” Poor Dan.
Other would-be comics had a laugh about Marino’s role in “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.”
Marino played himself in the 1994 comedy, as the man who may have messed up a potential Super Bowl-winning field goal by Ray Finkle.
Fans blamed Finkle for missing the kick, but Finkle held a grudge against Marino for not properly positioning the football — “laces out.”
The Twitter universe commented:
— @christinearm85 I bet Ray Finkle can harass Dan about something other than laces out #Dan Marino
— @poppakirsch Ray Finkle had to be the source for this Dan Marino/love child story.
–@JaysonSwain Wait, Dan Marino had a baby with Finkle/Einhorn?
–@DoucheByTrade This is what Dan Marino gets for asking about Ace’s bubblegum.
Other wannabe comedians look a strict football approach to their material.
— @SprtsHumor Dan Marino fathered a love child with a CBS production assistant. Dan always did stay in the pocket too long.
— @SeahawkSammy Like in his playing days, Dan Marino still likes to stay in the pocket and has a quick release.
— @DonDelarente Still throwing seeds in the end zone
