Turns out FL legend Dan Marino mediate.

Great player off the field -- a bombshell report revealing a secret love child he had with CBS employee back in 2005.

Until now the long time married Marino seemed to have a squeaky clean image but.

It's in celebrity scandals before this one so why do we care to doctor Daniel barber who says.

I don't know what you say why do we care why -- -- again Graham has a love child check the about football players and athletes all the time with with affairs going on now.

I don't think we really should be that surprised I mean I think we like to hold our celebrities and sports stars.

Up to a certain standard and we want to believe that there are moral pillars of society.

But they're human beings like everyone else and when you have completely.

Unlimited access to instant gratification any time.

Very often you're gonna act out on those impulses can you tell us take us through this this story -- what do we know what we find out how do we find out.

Well I found out about it very much the same way that you probably did.

I know that he fathered child supposedly that at this point is seven years old.

Brightened in the secret love child -- is is the one I'm I'm wondering about did that you have.

My -- had heard that he had paid the mother of the child several million dollars is that right.

That's what I've heard and and I believe that part of that money was paid for silence if it's my understanding if that's correct.

OK so let let's talk about now what happens on.

It is it just that we hear about a more because he's -- it's just.

They're celebrities and their athletes and we we like to look up to them so we hear about what these things happening or -- is the occurrence among them higher than the population.

Well I think that it happens every day but I think again when you're someone who's famous.

And you have people telling -- yes all the time -- you're not used to hearing the word no you've pretty much get what you want when you want it.

And so I think that you used that fame to.

Get the things that you want in life.

And it's pretty much instantaneous anytime that you want it because of your fame -- -- of the -- In the last you know year or so Tiger Woods.

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

These things are going on.

And absolutely and I think that we as a society have a short memory and -- more apt to forgive these people because of the entertainment value that they have.

We're we're sort of willing to give them a free pass and allow them to sort of go on their way.

And forget about these things.

Which we may not do with our friends and neighbors but we do with them because they are celebrities well let me -- -- -- concept do we do we treat politicians differently there -- a lot of love child sex scandals and in the political world but we seemed you seem to hold them accountable little longer than we do the athletes.

Well you know I think it's a sad thing I think in some way it's incumbent upon the individual whether they're a politician -- sports stars celebrity.

To act a little bit better than the rest of us because of the position that they hold in society.

But very often because they're human beings they fall victim to that -- and to that sense of entitlement.

Which causes them to fall from grace -- aren't we really to their doctor -- over thank you sir.

Thank you so much.
