Dan Marino finds it difficult to sell home.

[panamania79 2]

Unable to find a buyer for his Weston, Fla., home, Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino has a new game plan: He’s throwing in $1.5 million worth of designer furniture—and a signed football, too.

The former Miami Dolphin first listed the house—about 25 miles west of Fort Lauderdale—three years ago and twice cut the price. Now, Mr. Marino, 47 years old, and his wife, Claire, are asking $13.5 million for the 15,000-square-foot Tuscan home on four acres. They built it in 1998 and among other things put in a new master suite and marble showers. The home has 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and two powder rooms. The property includes two guest houses, a pool, a putting green, a 5,000-bottle wine cellar and a pond stocked with fresh bass.

Dan Marino’s Florida home is currently on the market for $13.5 million.

With three kids in college and a fourth graduating from high school soon, “we’re looking to downsize a little bit,” Mr. Marino says. The former footballer, who retired in 2000, first put the home on the market in 2006 for $15.9 million. Now, the home is being offered fully furnished, says listing agent Giselle Bonetti of One Sotheby’s Realty, which is marketing the property with Quintessentially Estates.

Mr. Marino adds, “I’ll leave one football, how’s that?”

I'll offer $20. ... If he doesn't take the deal ... well it's his fault for not selling.

An even better story is that Treasury Sec. Timothy Geithner can't sell his house either

He never won a Super Bowl, so no one wants his house.

marino choked...montana ftw!~

as quarterbacks go Marino was better, he didnt have the ammo good old Montana had. I compare him too Cassell, proof anyone can shine with a good team.

Peyton Manning's better than Marino. And he has one ring. Other than that, they both are choke artitists.

I didnt expect that, I dont what to say. I am speechless. I feel I need to say something nice about Montanna, luckily for me there is plenty to say. I think he was a great leader, you didnt hear it from me but maybe better than Marino. Marino often let his emotions get the better of him, I didnt see that very often from Montana.

Montana was grace under pressure. Marino was choke under pressure.
