Dec 07, 1995: -- Marino Awarded but Cox Sues... --

Dan Marino was named AFC player of the week for his performance in last Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. During the game, Marino passed for 343 yards and 2 touchdowns, the last one with 11 seconds remaining to lead the Dolphins to a 21-20 victory over the Falcons.

In other news, Bryan Cox announced he is suing radio station WIOD-AM in Miami for $15 million dollars for what he calls defamatory remarks. Apparently, WIOD radio host Phil Hendrie, who has been doing impersonations of Bryan Cox for about a year, did a show on Nov 6 and 7 when he impersonated Cox saying that he (Cox) was gay and was leaving his wife.

Cox claims that the broadcast has hurt his family and that his daughter was even harassed in school because of it.

In other news, JB Brown will be out for at least another week with the injury to his knee. But he should be back in time for the Bills game.

My Comments:

I believe that Marino is the first Dolphin who was named as player of the week this year. He certainly deserves it for the gutsy performance he put on last Sunday. Heck, he deserves it for scrambling 12 yards late in the 4th quarter.

Bryan Cox really needs to lighten up. He is carrying his problems with the media way too far. He will probably not be able to collect any money because the media is pretty well protected where a public figure is concerned - and God knows, Cox is a public figure.
