Dan Marino Loses His Temper on Inside the NFL Set

That's former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino on the set of HBO's Inside the NFL in 2000. Marino has always struck me as a mild-mannered and likable guy, but when he stumbled over a line during a taping, he got angry and pounded the desk. He doesn't scream or swear or anything, so the video is safe for work, but it's bizarre, especially watching the reaction of Nick Buoniconti, which has to be the most afraid of a quarterback any linebacker has ever been.

Hat tip: Ace Cowboy, who also has some good jokes about how Isotoner gloves or a Super Bowl ring could have padded Marino's hands.

UPDATE: A commenter named Clinton says the whole thing was staged, and that Marino was imitating Keyshawn Johnson, who had done the same thing at a press conference. In any event, it's a funny video, whether Marino was trying to be funny or not.
