Marco Battaglia

Marco Antonio Battaglia (born January 25, 1973 in Howard Beach, New York) is a former American football tight end in the National Football League who played for five different teams. Battaglia played college football at Rutgers University and was chosen in second round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. Marco was a "Bob Hope All-American"

In 2001, radio personality Howard Stern mentioned on his show that he does weight training with Battaglia.

Marco beat Stuttering John in a footrace on the Stern Show after John challenged him based on the false belief that since Marco was so big, John was faster. Stuttering John has since failed in several other endeavors such as being The Tonight Show announcer (as John Melendez), and as a writer for the now defunct Jay Leno Show.

In July 2010 Howard Stern mentioned that he was teasing Marco for wearing his Super Bowel ring and Marco commented that he would prefer not to wear it, but to put in away for safekeeping. However, his clients and potential clients love it.
