Big deal

Leave the man alone! He has faced up to his responsibilities, and the only thing this article does now is hurt the child!

He should have never left the pocket.

While I wish Mr. Marino had been faithful, I´m glad that his values were not so rotten as to demand that she have an abortion. I hope fences are mended and that Ms. Savattere, her current husband and the Marinos are all on the same page in providing the best possible LIFE for the child that was created.

Does the women have to pay back the millions?

Really?? At this stage of the game this is necessary? I appears that the situation has been worked out among the adults. It really is tacky to print this when an 8yo child is involved.

Why is this news? It seems that while the affair was wrong, he took financial reponsibility and knows the daughter. It does not say that he hid the child from his wife.

The woman is married now and seem happy with her husband who knew the story of he child.

No one owes the world their private business. Good people do go astray...it´s how they handle the responibility for their transgressions that count.

Now the private life of an innnocent seven year old´s is destroyed.

There´s what´s legal and what´s wrong, and these are sometime two different things.

The First Amendment provides protections for publishing such information, and that´s the way it should be. The harm of chilling speech is far worse than the exposure of a public figure´s personal peccadillos.

However, as there did not seem to be a dispute over child support, paternity, claims for grounds of divorce, nor did it seem (to me at least) that Marino held himself out in his job as an NFL analyst or spokesman as the ideal family man, the publishing of this story is wrong. No good is served by it, and there was hardly any sort of clamor for an examination of the private life of Mr. Marino, his family, nor that of his former paramour.

All this story will do is cause hurt to all parties involved, for the simple sake of putting a salacious story out to sell papers.

Mr. Marino´s behavior was reprehensible, and God knows how many he hurt, however, the press exposing this story can simply be described as wrong.

When faced with that situation-- PUNT!

Were both adults?
Did he rape her? Molest her? Perform an abortion on her? Steal from her-- wealth, virtue, youth? What I wish to know just for MOI was this before or after he lost all that Weight with WW? Or am I even correct on that inquiry? Believe it was he who thinned himself

Why is this news?

Just for the record - -

- - this story was broken as an exclusive by the New York Post.

Does he get a refund? Typical low life, NFL player. First, the drug rumors in college, now this. Thug

I think the real father is Ray Finkel.

Does or did she have to pay tax on these millions?

The DM is a business. Juicy gossip sells.

Ha! Thanks, #14, ya beat me to it. I would have thought this had happened as Dan was at the height of his acting career [such as it was] with Jim Carrey.

"I´m looking for Ray Finkel...[sound of a shotgun being racked]...and a clean pair of shorts!"

Yeah, what’s the big deal, the 7th Commandment is so, so ancient.

Evidently having an affair with someone else´s husband is just fine with certain bimbos.

Having unprotected sex is also a wonderful idea among the athlete class.

Pitiful.

It´s OK Dan. We know how women can be around a successful rich guy. Married or not.

III.....epic!

I look at her and read about her and see a Rielle Hunter clone.

Some men can be so stupid.

Just in time for the Super Bowl!

Any chances the MSM researched Marino´s politics before breaking this story. Wanna bet he leans conservative.

Too much time to the Superbowl. It needs to be curtailed to two weeks. This is a gratuitous story. They waited until the world was paying attention to football to drop this story. We got rape, murder, adultery, possible extortion, PEDs (a mixed bag with Lance, Ray Lewis, Alex Rodriguez, the Alabama football team), homosexuality, what´s next.

We were talking about Te´o (very weeerrrd), then came Ray Lewis, then came the guy with the comment about gays that is making the media go nuts, then came Marino. What´s next?

Seems the merchants of squalid are not getting to enjoy the damage they think their stories were going to inflict. I just want to see the game. And I do hope little Chloe looks as cute as her father. He´s still my favorite QB. Take that.

Sorry on double post but my English teacher is turning in her grave. I meant to say the time between the conference game and the SB should be limited to one week as opposed to the current two weeks.

I worked SB 41 as a security supervisor. We had to check all bags coming into the stadium daily. Mr. Marino was a "do you know who I am type." Very snotty. I pointed out we didn´t make the rules. He couldn´t care less.
Very abusive. He is a large richard.

So what? It´s not our business. It´s up to the Marino family to sort it out. I´m kinda sorry I read this.

The interesting story is not that this happened almost a decade ago. The interesting story is why this information is coming out now, and who is benefitting from it.

LOTS of gals figure out this is a quick way to live large the rest of your life WITHOUT having to earn it yourself. You would think the Dan Merinos, Kelsey Grammars, Mel Gibsons would see these gals coming....

It happens to men who simply have decent jobs these days and you don´t have to be rich. Sorry, guys, but sometimes you are just plain stupid! It is the child that suffers in the end, regardless of money. I´ve read the riot act to my son (he is 18) that there are golddiggers of all kinds out there.
