Dan Marino meets Prince Harry and George Osbourne

Saturday, October 03 2015 by SNTV
  • SuggestedLeadIn: Dan Marino met Prince Harry and also hears the UK Chancellor get behind the prospect of a London-based NFL franchise.

    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) George Osbourne, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer:

    (on the possibility of a London NFL franchise):

    "We'd love to have a team here based in the UK, playing in the NFL, and I think we are making steps towards that. Each year more games are played here, potential to increase that next year, but yes the real prize, the touchdown for London would be to get a team based here."

    Various of Dan Marino with Prince Harry during Walking with the Wounded's Walk of Britain event: UPSOUND (partly out of vision) Dan Marino:

    "It was great being with Prince Harry and the "wounded warriors", walking for a good cause, and just to see how excited they all are about what they're doing, and to see the response of the people and the communities, as we were going through. It was a rough walk for me though, I'll be honest with you. Going seven and a half miles, I don't do that very much, but it was worth it. It was worth the walk, It was worth the fun of being around these guys. We took a little break and threw the football around in a sheep pasture, I guess, in a neighbourhood. It was fun. We did that for around 15 minutes. I got my throwing in for the day. He's great. He's actually really athletic. He went and caught the ball with his hands a couple of times. You could tell that he loves what he's doing for these guys, and he had a great attitude all day about what he was doing, so it was awesome. They are the true heroes, I mean for sure. What we do is great, and it's fun to do, and we go through a lot, but we're not guys who are out there and taking care of us. Some are giving their lives, and others are wounded, and we're out here trying to raise money for other people they worked with, and it's something pretty special. They are the true heroes."
