I've never done an interview in the back of a van

I've never done an interview in the back of a van, but that's cool.

Hall of Fame quarterbacks are not typically interviewed in vans.

I guess 'pure passer' means I throw better than anybody? I guess?

Yeah. I guess I throw better than anybody. You got that spiral? How's that? Yeah, I guess. Got that nice, tight, tight spiral? I guess that's what it's supposed to mean.

Dan Marino does throw better than anybody. He guessed correctly.

I would throw for 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns in today's NFL

So I'm going to just say I would carve it up. Throw for 6,000, you know, 60 touchdowns and have fun, especially with my guys like Duper and Clayton... and there was no bubble screens. Pass interference was like a different monster back then too.

Purely hypothetical, cannot be proven or disproven.

It is harder for a quarterback to throw in the rain than it is to throw in the wind

Actually, it's harder probably to throw in the rain. ... Because it's the wetness of the ball.

This is an expert opinion on physics and feel from one of the greatest passers ever.

Retired QBs aren't secretly happy when their replacements stink — I'm a Dolphin for life

No, you know what? That's no. I'm a dolphin for life. I always wanted them to do well. I really did.

The Dolphins have not had a franchise quarterback since Marino retired in 1999.

I take full credit for Jim Carrey's career

So it really wasn't about me. It was about what I did for Jim Carrey, because if it wasn't for me, no one would know who Jim Carrey is. That's kind of how I take all full credit for Jim Carrey's career.

While Marino was a big draw, Carrey was already a rising star, making the claim jokingly hyperbolic.

Bernie Kosar is the one who brought the fake spike play to the NFL

Actually, that's a good question. Bernie Kosar. Bernie Kosar brought that from Cleveland. They used to practice it a little bit in Cleveland, and we started practicing in Miami, so I give Bernie Kosar credit for that.

Kosar is indeed credited with the play's origin at Miami and bringing it to the pros.
