Can you hear me now?

Did you catch this? (Warning: Site has some rough language.) Dan Marino's cell phone went off a few times during CBS' AFC championship game halftime show. Too bad he didn't have some catchy song for a ringtone. (At least one site contained a suggestion of Hootie and the Blowfish's "Only Wanna Be with You," being that Marino appeared in the band's video for the song.)

Speaking of Dans, former ESPNer Dan Patrick appeared on David Letterman's show Monday night, promoting his syndicated radio show and his Sports Illustrated column. The highlight of an awkward appearance: Patrick revealing he had put on what he thought were dress shoes but actually turned out to be golf shoes.

 

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
