It's quite obvious that nobody here has ever dealt with a poisonous, half crazy woman. It's foolish to judge a man too harshly based SOLELY on his dealings with a single woman, particularly when he never did enough to land behind bars, even for a night. I know nothing about the man personally, but he's being wrongly attacked here based on what I have seen.
Only the DUI stands out as credible. Goodell is no fool...he isn't likely to suspend a player based on the statements of this woman. Obviously, Marshall is on the radar, but he's done nothing at this point to warrant a suspension. There are red flags, but no stop sign.
It's all Watleys fault? I have bolded the ones where Watley either isn't involved or is not the person pressing charges, you act like this guy is an altar boy, nothing could be further from the truth. Marshall's transgressions

Marshall told police his hand was also cut on glass during the incident, which included Watley's two younger sisters. Marshall was arrested March 6 on a misdemeanor battery charge. Formal charges have not been filed.
May 21, 2008
An Atlanta police officer was dispatched to Marshall's condo to enforce Watley's temporary restraining order while Watley was there removing her belongings. The officer described Marshall as being cooperative and Watley as argumentative, though Watley told the officer she felt threatened by Marshall and his relatives who were also there.
I wonder if Watley has been arrested/had charges filed on her 5 times where Marshall wasn't involved. As you see here, Marshall has been in trouble 5 times in 4 years with the police where Watley isn't a part of it at all. I think you're giving Marshall a pass, I have no idea why. If this guy didn't have athletic talent and behaved like this he would be in jail right now. It's also possible that given Marshalls bad judgement/criminal activity that's it's not such a stretch to believe that he has beat on her on many occasions. Why does he keep going back with her? I know if I had the police knock on my door ONE time where my girlfriend falsely accused me of beating on her that would be the END of that relationship. He's been accused MANY times of beating on her and worse, yet he kept going back, I think it's because he is an abusive person, he's not a person I would ever think of defending or being friends with, he's a bad seed.
For a minute there I thought you actually knew something about the case.
This guy should at least get suspended for the Raiders game. Maybe both Raider games.

So a couple of arrests and dropped charges by an estranged ex-lover. How soon we forget a fellow named Moss had the same issues, and now all you hear is man love for him. I'd be surprised if he sees any suspension if he is not convicted of any wrong doing. Although a plea deal on the DUI could lead to something like a 1 gamer. To compare him to Pacman or Henry at this point is premature.Disclaimer: I am in no way, in any form, condoning any of his alleged previous infractions.
