Dan Marino Admits To Affair; Child

[chargertom]

Former Miami Dolphins quarterback and current CBS NFL analyst Dan Marino fathered a child with a CBS Sports employee and paid her millions to keep it secret, according to the New York Post.

Marino has served as a pregame analyst for CBS since 2003 and reportedly admitted to having an affair with Donna Savattere, a production assistant at the time. Savattere, who was 35 at the time, gave birth to a daughter, Chloe, in June 2005, according to The Post.

"This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then," Marino told The Post in a statement. “We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved."

While the exact amount is unclear, sources told The Post that Marino paid Savattere millions to care for Chloe.

Marino also gave a statement on his marriage to The Post.

"My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together," he wrote Wednesday. "And we continue to be a strong and loving family."


Dang, Dan. Not you.

that news, it don't make me no never mind.
But, listening to Justin and Mike's comments (on Chargers PowerHour) that is entertaining.
"...love child?...a Lust child .... Dan got his hand caught in the cookie jar ...
i do not watch the CBS pre-game show, watch the NFL network until kickoff ...
Should CBS pull Marino off the broadcast ? "

Another early bid for Freak of the Year ?? Wow, the list is getting big early this year.

Everybody involved is WAY too good looking to win. But it's a big effort. CBS broadcast assistant. Cover it up for years and secretly get millions while still married and on the air/ in the spotlight ?

Yep. Solid effort by the first year nominee, and the surprise element will keep him on the list.

so does marino get his millions back? if not, what a waste of money.

Donna Savaterre. She's since married, and had another child.

I have absolutely no respect for cheaters. It would hurt me so bad to be cheated on, therefore I do not respect cheaters.

Espcially those who have full fledged families.

I'm out. This subject can get real ban-worthy. I can see it now lol

Is it impolite to ask why she named the second child
Brett Farve Savaterre ?
