Cool book, especially for Dan Fans

For a number of years I've been a fan of Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins. Dan Marino was a great quarterback, and we all hated to see him retire. The NFL clearly will never be the same without that flame throwing #13 to excite us all. His last years weren't near as good as the rest of his career, and Dan never won a Super Bowl either, but undeniably during Dan's hot seasons he was the most feared QB ever to play the game. Is Marino the best QB ever to play the game? Maybe not, but when it comes to all-out great passers in the NFL, Marino has to rank high on your list. Beckett's Great Sports Heroes is a good look into Dan's record breaking career. There are some good articles and nice pictures. Nothing really deep into Dan's life here, but Beckett still has produced a good enjoyable read on one of the greatest, those who are fans of Marino like me, and even those who aren't, will find an entertaining read.
