Just seen this scroll on ESPN. The circus is about to begin, Maybe Mark Schlerith(sp) can give us another lesson on morals today, tomorrow and everyday beyond. Get ready folks, ESPN has it now, they'll fill up hours of programming with it and before you know it Goodell will be forced to suspend him because it's going to put another blackeye on the NFL.

Suspension

VINDICATION, ONE TIME!!!

Finally this loser is going to get what he deserves.

I'm hoping for a year suspension but will settle for 8-10 games.

You two need to get a room...and thanks Cecil for the voice of reason here.

Cecil is clouded when it comes to Bronco's.He considers beating your girlfriend "immature". I would think it's a lot more then being immature, there was no age where i thought it was right to beat on females, even when i was a preteen. Excusing that as being immature is ridiculous.

What if his girlfriend was beating on him first? Does that make a difference? I'm not saying he's a stand up guy, but you seem to hate for the sake of hating - you have no f'in clue what actually transpired. None of us do.

Come on now, use some common sense. He's a professional athlete and as far as men go in the top 1% of strength in the world. He could easily contain her. The only justification he could have in attacking her would be if she came at him with a weapon. Now i guess that's possible and she's the one who cut his arm up, but i highly doubt she is powerful enough to even get close enough to him in a fight to slash his arm as bad as it was slashed. He could have threw her down long before she could have cut him that deep.So if it comes out that she actually knifed him then she's fair game, otherwise their is no excuse.

But also it shows BM is an idiot for constantly being around a woman who calls the cops on him. It takes a pretty moronic person to stick around if someone is lying calling the police on you everyday.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. And as I said, my whole point was that we simply don't know what happened. But I do know this - there are a lot of messed up people in this world, and many of them are women.

BTW, the latest I've heard is that the league MAY review this IF Brandon is found to be guilty. But let's get serious, any sort of decision would come after the season. Again, nothing to see here people.

NOW, if Brandon gets in trouble from here on out then everything else is out the window. IF he keeps his nose clean I really believe this is a non-issue for this season.

How am I clouded? I am NOT A BRONCO FAN. yes, I cover the team but I am in fact more clear on this situation than most. When did I say that beating your girlfriend was immature? I said that Brandon Marshall was immature. Please keep my name out of your mouth unless you are posting a direct quote.Let me be very clear: beating your girlfriend is not right, in any situation.I was not EXCUSING Marshall for deplorable behavior. :X

You said his instances were due to him being immature. Cops have been to his house multiple times on accounts of him beating his girlfriend.Why would you excuse his problems with immaturity when most of them revolve around beating on woman/resisting arrest/etc.If you consider that immature then so be it, but i would definitely say it leans far more to being thuggish then immature.

Nothing to see here. Maybe you missed this in the thread:Broncos | Marshall not likely to face suspensionThu, 18 Sep 2008 09:51:26 -0700KFFL has learned Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall isn't expected to face a suspension for his recent misdemeanor battery charges because the league was aware there was a chance he would be charged before he was suspended one game earlier this year.

This is the only post worthy of the Shark Pool in the last two pages.

Legal Issues from Wikipedia: Guy has more than a little growing up to do, and is past the stage where the Broncos/NFL can give him a pass for future incidents. If he does anything stupid in the near future, I can see him sitting out a season/8 games...ala Chris Henry.

[edit] Legal trouble

According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[27]

On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a downtown Denver nightclub, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. As the players were leaving the club, Williams was fatally shot in the neck by an unknown assailant. Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[28]

On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[29] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[30]

In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver Metro area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[31] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[32] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.

On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[33] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[32]

According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[34]

In a September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com, the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10th of this year for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008 in Atlanta. The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court. An email from Judge Mather's office to CompleteColorado.com indicated that no court date had been set, but that date would likely be in November or December.[35]

i said that because you completely manipulate Cecil's words. He never said beating our girlfriend was immature. he said Marshall was immature. Period.It's apparent you read and analyze things the way you want and not how they are written.

I don't think this is quite fair. It's important to understand that many of these professional athletes were raised in cultures drastically different than those that most of us were raised in. And in those cultures, behavior like this may have been the norm.Just as I said, it used to be commonplace across all cultures and societies to dole out physical abuse to women and children.

In Plato's day, Pedophilia was commonplace and accepted. Plato actually made an philosophical argument in support of it.

We don't know what Marshall's upbringing was like and what kind of values were instilled in him by those around him.

That said, we do know that he is now immersed in a culture that does not accept the behavior he is accustomed to, and it's yet to be determined if he can adjust his behavior accordingly.

I understand what your saying, but i don't see that as a way to condone beating on woman. If i was raised by a murderous pack of people and i murdered someone i don't think i'd get any sympathy from anyone.Mike Vick was raised in an environment where fighting dogs was a way of life, but no one seemed to excuse him for it. I just don't get why Brandon Marshall is getting a free pass by a lot of people.I know your not excusing his behavior and are just making an observation, but i just don't think letting people off the hook for violent crimes due to the environment angle makes much sense in reality.

Yeah, he's going to be suspended like Jamaal Lewis when the feds busted him for running a coke ring. Keep dreaming lemmings.

Jamal Lewis didn't run a coke ring.Jamal Lewis never even possessed any coke.He got caught up in a sting operation.The feds busted one of his female associates in a coke ring that Jamal had no part in.His female associate tried to set up Jamal by saying she needed money to buy some coke all he had to do was pony up some loot and she would buy the coke (which never existed) and she'd split the money with him. He never agreed to buy the coke, his only words caught on-tape were "Uhnnnn."So the feds tried to say that they had him on racketeering cell phone violation. Jamal only listened to his former female friend because she was desprate for money and was trying to hit up a former bud from the neighborhood.The coke ring was pretty much all busted up but the feds were still aggressively going after people. They had already made deals with low-level snitches, like Jamal's former friend, and they had nothing to show for those deals so they were trying to nail people who had, as it turns out, had absolutely NOTHING to do with the coke ring which wasn't as big as they assumed when they first started cutting deals with snitches.Jamal Lewis never took possession of, and he never sold any cocaine.

Feds were successful.. He served 4 months after pleading guiltyLewis was sentenced last month in Atlanta. He had pleaded guilty to trying to set up the drug deal 4½ years ago, a few months after the Ravens chose him as the fifth overall pick in the 2000 draft. No drugs ever exchanged hands.He plead down in exchange for dropping the consipiracy and attmempt to possess charges...

Mike Vick was as popular as any athlete in sports, his name made it a bigger story than it really was. Marshall is still relatively unknown to the public, if and when he screws up down the line, you'll see more "outrage" from the media.

I don't think he should be let off the hook - I just think he should be given a chance to prove that he can change before we pass too much judgment on him. The league has given him that chance. Let's hope he embraces the necessary changes.

I agree with that. I'm just surprised so many on this message board are letting BM off the hook. Even before Vick was charged, and when it was reported he wasn't going to face charged the HUGE majority on this board were blasting him and calling for his head.Brandon is getting charged and all we hear is that it was his girlfriends fault and that she's crazy. He's being excused as being immature and a prankster. It's bizarre really how the vast majority are siding with this guy. Actions speak louder then words, and it's clear his actions make him out to be a bad human being, yet most on here are completely ignoring his lengthy arrest record.

I think he's referring to this year. If he's convicted then fine, maybe something will happen. But the suspension he got and served already was with the knowledge of this incident.

well if you read the police report it state she had been hit before over little things and that he found a text message from an old boyfriend and then threw her on the bed holding her head and when the sisters entered he was slappin her. In that case he deserved to get stabbed. To hit a woman over a test message is not self defense. Trying to spin my comment about never hitting a woman "well what if the woman is coming at you with a knife?" guess what, if any man hits a woman (other than self defense i.e ..a woman just coming at you out of no where with a knife)....... then his @%# should have gotten stabbed

 

[DrJamesAndrews Fan]

Let's keep this Brandon Marshall news, not a Domestic Violence debate

From Rotoworld

The Denver Post reports that Brandon Marshall is unlikely to face more discipline from the NFL despite being charged with misdemeanor battery in Fulton County.

Owners can breathe a sigh of relief. "The NFL has been aware of this from Day 1," agent Harvey Steinberg said. Marshall doesn't have a court date yet, but the results of the trial are not expected to affect his playing status.

i can guarantee that if he gets convicted or has to plead in this case something more could happen.We have no clue what Goodall said in the meeting, he could have said as long as he isn't found guilty or makes a plea in this case he's in the clear, and if he is found guilty then they will re access the situation.Nobody on this board knows for sure what guidelines Goodall set for Marshall, to think you know is being quite arrogant.

Yes they knew about it, but i'm sure Marshall said there wasn't anything to it and that he was innocent. If it's found there was substance to it and he's convicted i'd be shocked if Goodall doesn't act.But it won't matter for this year anyway since i'm sure it will be delayed.

 

[R. Duke]

Interesting. If this is verified, Marshall could face more suspension this season.

you must have a really pathetic life.

Or maybe he just feels strongly about domestic violence.

or maybe it never happened. Let's wait and see before we start cheering for a player to be suspended.

Yea and maybe OJ never killed Nicole. I get tired of seeing these thugs just because they are sports stars getting off the hook. Lets go with the if theory. If he did it he should be done for the year. If he did not maybe he can get the benefit of the doubt next time. When you have a bad track record like he does you are presumed guilty until proven innocent as wrong as that may be.

You played against him last week, didn't you?

Didn't you peg Marshall for an 8 game suspension before the season began? Maybe you need to adjust your expectations here.

:X What kind of a guarantee is that?

And we are obviously discussing suspensions THIS year resulting from THESE charges, not suspensions next year.

If convicted and sentenced to jail time, he *might* be subject to further discipline by the league. If he pleas out, he probably will NOT be subject to any further discipline b/c the league supposedly already knew about these charges. There are a thousand reasons to plea out rather than go to court, and I sincerely doubt the league will come down on him unless he stands up in court, protests his innocence, and is convicted.

thank you. Just like you have no idea what hapened between him and his girlfriend, but that certainly doesnt stop you from spewing your opinion.

Brandon Marshall is not a thug. Immature - yes, but hopefully he's growing up.Here's what I've heard and confirmed with different Broncos sources:New charges, but not a new incident. They hadn't decided whether to charge him or not until now. The NFL also knew about this when they suspended him.

Ummmmmmmmm dude, he has been arrested how many times? "allegedly" beats up on girls. Lammey maybe all that is cool where your from but not where I am from.

Ummmmmmmmm dude, he has been arrested how many times? "allegedly" beats up on girls. Lammey maybe all that is cool where your from but not where I am from.

ESPN's Michael Smith reports that Brandon Marshall could face more discipline from the NFL if he's found guilty of misdemeanor battery in a Georgia court.

Smith, disputing a Denver Post report, says that the charges being pressed alone won't affect Marshall's playing status. But if he's convicted, Marshall could get another suspension. The trial won't happen until November at the earliest, so it's possible a suspension wouldn't take effect until 2009. Don't go panic over this news, but it may affect keeper leaguers.

ETA - I doubt he makes it through the season without messing up again, so a 2008 suspension isn't far fetched.

Just seen this scroll on ESPN. The circus is about to begin, Maybe Mark Schlerith(sp) can give us another lesson on morals today, tomorrow and everyday beyond. Get ready folks, ESPN has it now, they'll fill up hours of programming with it and before you know it Goodell will be forced to suspend him because it's going to put another blackeye on the NFL. Simple MathESPN yapping about Marshall all week+Bad Image for NFL+Roger Goodell=Suspension

VINDICATION, ONE TIME!!!Finally this loser is going to get what he deserves.I'm hoping for a year suspension but will settle for 8-10 games.

You two need to get a room...and thanks Cecil for the voice of reason here.

Cecil is clouded when it comes to Bronco's.He considers beating your girlfriend "immature". I would think it's a lot more then being immature, there was no age where i thought it was right to beat on females, even when i was a preteen. Excusing that as being immature is ridiculous.

What if his girlfriend was beating on him first? Does that make a difference? I'm not saying he's a stand up guy, but you seem to hate for the sake of hating - you have no f'in clue what actually transpired. None of us do.

But the fact that your saying what if the girlfriend was beating him first and if it makes a difference???? I don't care WHO you are, in no situation is it ever ok to hit a woman. NEVER EVER EVER.

Not to hijack, but if the woman was doped up and kicked you in the groin and then had a gun pointed at you; I think it is OK to hit her to disarm her. Be careful when you talk in absolute terms

The Denver Post reports Broncos WR Brandon Marshall already has served a one-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct code because of his off-field issues and is not likely to receive any additional punishment from the NFL resulting from the battery charge. Last week he also pleaded to a lesser charge in Denver from his 2007 DUI arrest and received probation. "The NFL has been aware of this from Day 1," attorney Harvey Steinberg said. Marshall is coming off an 18-catch performance Sunday against San Diego, his first game of 2008 after completing the suspension. That single-game total tied for second-best in NFL history. "I'm excited about this year, football-wise, and my career," Marshall said. "And excited about the direction I'm going in as a person."

Move along haters.

Legal Issues from Wikipedia: Guy has more than a little growing up to do, and is past the stage where the Broncos/NFL can give him a pass for future incidents. If he does anything stupid in the near future, I can see him sitting out a season/8 games...ala Chris Henry.

[edit] Legal trouble

According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[27]

On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a downtown Denver nightclub, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. As the players were leaving the club, Williams was fatally shot in the neck by an unknown assailant. Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[28]

On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[29] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[30]

In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver Metro area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[31] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[32] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.

On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[33] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[32]

According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[34]

In a September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com, the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10th of this year for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008 in Atlanta. The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court. An email from Judge Mather's office to CompleteColorado.com indicated that no court date had been set, but that date would likely be in November or December.[35]

He'll be in trouble again sooner or later, I have no doubts...

Borttom line = Marshall is not likely to be suspended based on these new charges being filed, and we thank Cecil for bringing us that INFORMATION.

As for everything else being discussed here

With all due respect Marc, i don't think there is any way anyone knows at this point in time how this will effect a suspension. This just got reported, all it is now is speculation.

for the millionth time, this isn't news. The charges are finally being pursued, just like the NFL expected.

how do you know this......?...how do you know what the NFL expected?They may have been aware that there was an incident, but outside of that all they know is what Brandon chose to tell them.

And I seriously doubt that anything having to do with this incident was factored in to his suspension. It makes no sense to do so for either side. I may take that back, it might be a good move from Marshall's side if it is some type of double jeopardy protection for him in terms of a future suspension. But how could the NFL factor it in when they don't REALLY know what happened or what would come out of it since charges hadn't even been filed yet?

I think he's referring to this year. If he's convicted then fine, maybe something will happen. But the suspension he got and served already was with the knowledge of this incident.

what does that mean though....are you saying that it doesn't matter what the outcome is because he has already served a suspension for this incident......?...I think that is the problem, people think that he has already served a suspension for this incident. I would like to see proof of where that is true. The fact that charges were filed changed this from Brandon letting somebody know about something to a new issue that could warrant a suspension based on the outcome.

He's in my lineup, and I expect another phenomenal week from him, as I do in weeks 4-16 for the 2008-2009 season. After that - I don't care.
