Todd is my second cousin. He comes from a wonderful family, and I got to see him not too long ago. He looks healthy, does beautiful art work, and has a lovely wife and new baby boy! Todd you are doing great, and we love you! Your great uncles are watching over you!
Not his fault for his failures, great kid, but damn, we Raiders were doomed for a long time when we passed on Brett Favre (only QB to throw 500 TD passes and 70,000+ yards and who won a SB) in the draft for this troubled man.
Partying hard was such a big part of the beach culture in SOCAL. Probably still is but when I lived out there in the early 90's, everyone was partying all the time. Think TM just got consumed with his buddies, beach sports and partying. he got his $3million and enjoyed himself for the next 20 years. Looks now like he's getting his act together now with a wife and a kid. By all accounts, a really nice guy. Wish him well...
You would have "performed better" had you played for another team other than the Universally Sucking Cocks.' You should spit on whoever it was that talked you into playing for that scumsucking LA trash college.
I don't feel sorry for Marinovich at all. So, his did was demanding. Big deal. Was that an excuse for him to use illegal drugs and to act like an idiot? Todd had an opportunity to play professional football, and get paid a lot of money for doing it. There are guys out there who love football who'll never get the chance he had. I'm so tired of our society feeling sorry for losers. Save your tears for guys who never got a shot due to injury or misfortune, not undisciplined losers like Todd.
@Archangel101576 Your lack of knowledge of human psychology is nothing short of astounding. I hope you never have children or get married. And hopefully whatever work you do doesn't involve dealing with other human beings.
@danning1 And your whiny, smug, bleeding heart, wannabe intellectual attitude is nothing short of nauseating. I have no doubt that you have kids, and all I can say is God help them all.
@Potsie791 Todd is my football coach and lives in Newport beach, Ca he's a great person I am lucky enough to call him my coach. I respect him very much
I remember reading about Tood Marinovich as a cover-story on Sports Illustrated back in 1991. Apparently his father had him on such a strict diet that TM didn't have his first Big Mac until he was in high school. In fact, Marinovich's father had Todd's mother take a strict vitamin supplement while she was pregnant with Todd in order to produce the perfect athlete.
@mrblujet I remember that article as well. I also saw a piece on ESPN around the same time Marinovich was going downhill real fast. Todd Marinovich's dad had a son who was about 8 or 9 and was pushing him like he did Todd. I felt sorry for that little kid. The only other thought I had was that the elder Marinovich was the most selfish bastard on the face of the planet. The father I mean.
Todd's been tryin' to get clean, nowadays I hear. He's been painting his paintings have appeared on ebay. He's also helping at a drug rehab place to get clean and he is helping QBs at football camps. I just hear he's trying to clean up his act.
Marinovich did have a future until an injury started his downfall........after a rough 0-4 start in 1992, he started playing well and had the Raiders on a 3 game winning streak when Seattle DL Cortez Kennedy, who weighed around 300 pounds, fell on top of him and broke him into pieces.........after that it was back to skateboarding and weed for Todd.........
ah hell nah bra...like deliver my pizza mang...geez like act more professional if you're going to use the tube. im gonna go surfing with marinovich now...i know you're jealous DUDE
That is my uncle todd hes came a long way i love him sooo much he had a baby a week ago with a beutifull lady i love them hes a year sober from all the horible drugs hes came a long way please dont be mean
@LizzyandHeidi ESPN top NFL Bust of all time. congrats Todd but the Raiders always had a history of drafting QB's that never wanted to play in the NFL, Russel is the latest Al Davis saga
The Raiders couldve actually won that game - had some stupid self inflicted penalties in the 4 th quarter though --- As for Todd he had talent they just rushed him
