00:00 So I have a legend as he takes his glasses off.

00:04 I have a legend right to my left.

00:05 I have Dan Marino.

00:07 We're here with sports fans.

00:08 - He needs readers.

00:09 I need readers.

00:09 (laughing)

00:10 - So Dan, let's get into it.

00:12 So you played in the Super Bowl before.

00:14 - Yeah.

00:15 - What's going through the mind of a quarterback

00:18 as they get ready throughout the week

00:20 and what would you say to them,

00:21 especially a guy like Brock,

00:23 - Yeah, sure.

00:24 - To stay away from those distractions, to stay focused?

00:25 - Yeah, there's always a,

00:27 you know, it's always a good question.

00:28 I remember, you know, my days, I was the youngest,

00:31 still maybe one of the youngest quarterbacks

00:33 to start in the Super Bowl.

00:35 And I thought, you know, I thought I was gonna be back.

00:38 You know, I thought I was gonna be there many times

00:40 and, you know, it just didn't work out.

00:42 I'd say, take, you know, if I was him,

00:44 just make sure you're prepared,

00:46 take care of the situation and just let it flow, man.

00:49 And hopefully you can be the winner at the end

00:52 and have that legacy with you for the rest of your life.

00:55 And I love the story with him, you know,

00:58 because him being the last guy drafted in the draft.

01:00 - Yeah.

01:01 - And also he said his dad was a Marino fan.

01:05 He wears 13.

01:06 So I got out, so I want to see him win.

01:08 - Yeah, okay.

01:09 So you heard him first.

01:11 He wants the Niners, he wants Brock Brady to win.

01:13 - I think Kansas City's gonna win,

01:14 but I'd be happy if they don't win.

01:15 - Yeah, I think Kansas City's gonna win.

01:16 It's hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes.

01:18 Let's talk about Patrick for a minute.

01:20 - Sure.

01:20 - Would you say he's a top five Q of all time already?

01:25 - Yeah, I mean, look at you.

01:26 It's hard to compare everybody as far as top five, 10,

01:29 whatever it is, but he's been three

01:34 of the last four Super Bowls, right?

01:36 I mean, that's a lot at a young age and he's won two

01:39 and has a chance to win another one.

01:40 So yeah, you got to consider him

01:41 being one of the best ever for sure.

01:43 - For sure, okay.

01:45 So what you guys don't know,

01:46 he was on the staff at Miami when I was playing there.

01:49 So let's talk about Miami a little bit, man.

01:51 So what does Tua and Coach McDaniels have to do

01:54 to take the Dolphins to the next level

01:56 or to bring them here next year?

01:58 - Yeah, well, I think it's just continue to grow

02:00 as a team and their offense.

02:02 I felt really good about what the Dolphins were doing.

02:08 And then we got 30 ends of the year

02:11 and there was not an excuse, but a lot of injuries.

02:14 - Yes, yes.

02:14 - And a lot of injuries that kind of just took its toll on us

02:18 and we had to win some games that were on the road

02:20 that were tough and it just didn't work out.

02:23 Now I think that you learn from that, you grow from that.

02:27 And what McDaniels is doing with the team

02:30 and his offense and how he's helping Tua develop,

02:34 I think is outstanding.

02:35 So I believe we have enough people

02:37 to be able to get to a Super Bowl.

02:39 - Yeah, I do too.

02:41 So let's talk about your partnership with M&M's, man.

02:43 - Oh yeah.

02:44 Well, so M&M's, I'm in a commercial,

02:47 a Super Bowl commercial with Bruce Smith,

02:50 T.O. and Scarlett Johansson.

02:52 - Oh wow. - Yeah.

02:53 And we're doing a commercial on M&M's,

02:57 doing a peanut butter ring

02:59 for those who did not win championships.

03:02 And so it's kind of to make fun of the fact

03:05 and Bruce lost four of them, you know,

03:08 and everybody, I lost one,

03:10 but it turns out to be pretty cool.

03:12 And they're building a championship ring

03:13 out of diamonds and peanut butter.

03:16 And you can actually see it.

03:18 It's in Las Vegas M&M store.

03:20 So if someone wants to go by there and check it out

03:22 and it has real diamonds.

03:24 So, I mean, pretty cool.

03:25 So I'll get my ring after the Super Bowl.

03:29 M&M's ring.

03:30 - Edible ring.

03:31 - Oh yeah.

03:32 - As we take off out of here,

03:34 give me your Mount Rushmore of cues in your eyes.

03:39 - Yeah. Okay.

03:39 So I gotta go back to the guys I played against.

03:44 - Yeah, for sure.

03:46 - And I always loved Joe Namath.

03:47 I always loved Bradshaw.

03:49 But to me, Montana and Elway,

03:52 Jim Kelly, those guys, all those guys, that's three.

03:55 Yeah. And so, no, I'm not gonna do that.

03:59 That's for someone else to say that,

04:01 but I feel like I could play with all those guys.

04:04 So that's, but yeah, some great players.

04:07 And Patrick Mahom wins this game this week.

04:12 He's gotta be considered one of the best ever too.

04:14 You know, and you got Tom Brady, you got,

04:16 you know, a lot of guys.

04:17 So there's a lot to pick from there.

04:19 - Yeah, yeah, for sure.

04:20 Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Marino, legend.

04:23 - Thank you guys. Thanks bud.

04:24 Thanks, Price.
