I saw this and thought it was nice of him to say that. Then I turned it off because god knows why the ESPYs even exist.

 

Well he is right. Marino is the greatest passing QB of all time.

 

When he passed Marino's record for TD passes, he said Dan is the best pure passer of all time at his PC afterwards.

 

That's why I didn't mind it as bad when Manning and Favre broke Dan's records. They are both very humble QBs who respect and appreciate the game and the men who played before them. I can only imagine what Dan's numbers would have looked like if he had started playing in the modern day offenses like Farve and Manning.
