UNDATED - NFL legend Dan Marino has admitted that he had an affair and fathered a child in 2005 with his mistress.
The New York Post reported the exclusive story. Marino admits to having the affair with a staffer at CBS television just before he was inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame.
The Post said he fathered a child and then paid the mother millions to move away and care for the girl.
Marino told the newspaper it is a private matter and that he and his wife are still married.
On Thursday, the Post said CBS released a statement saying "Dan has said all there is to say on this matter, and will be in his usual role on our broadcast Super Bowl Sunday."
Bet that the millions of dollars are gone now. Did he ever see his daughter in past 8 years?
Somehow this manages to be even less relevant than the Jim Nabors story.
Who cares? This is the mans personal life.
Why is this newsworthy? Dont we have more important things to worry about?
Ho hum. much ado about nothing.
8 years ago, and they're just uncovering this now? I think it was Freedom Rocks posted below that it might have been the best move for the mistress and child, because who knows what this guy is really like. I can only speak for being around him up at the Celebrity Golf Event in Tahoe one year. He was cool. He bought me a Heineken. Sheesh, if only I had slept with him, I could have gotten millions. Hindsight..Â
Just ask for an instant replay? You might get lucky? LOL
Talk about a quarterback sneak! Well, he should learn that one never gets away with anything. Including the sack.Â
Not with the media investigating every rumor, anyway! Who cares? This guy's last gig was peddling a male dietetic meal plan. Will this make him more marketable? Nope!
 @jpk My comment was a play on football terms. I really could care less, as I am sick and tired of every single person's name who happens to be or was a celebrity being pulled through the media scope.Â
Agreed! It's only news because there are uncounted folks out there who soak up all this "stuff" for whatever edification ans personal gratification! Â
If you are going to make a pass ...
Just remember the goal is the end zone..
Just sayin
I guess that Marino had his own "million dollar baby." Â Men, wear condoms.
This was a private matter, but apparently the media figured we all had to know! Why? Who cares?
Who gives a rip!
aren't dolphins polygamous?
I don't know, but they travel together in the ocean. LOL
Touchdown!
 @randola No safety there!
 @washcomom HA!!
i'm leaning towards a "tie"
Score?
Through the uprights?
 @randola Hmm had to visualize that last one:)
Wow! So Dan Marino bought and paid for the mother of his child to move away? So now he knows how much it costs to buy off the mother of his bastard child.
 @pdxd Ya but it may have been a win win for all involved....who knows what the guy is like in person.
And why is this news? QB who was good 15 years ago sleeps with person. News at 11!
 @Ramsesthegreat Not "sleeps with person" It wasn't "sleeping" that was going on!
