Brandon Marshall STABBED by woman; in hospital

[Pappy13]

I guess all of these people are a-holes like me for COMMENTING on the Marshall stabbing, and if you read through the posts on various sites, some people are actually being tough on Marshall, oh the humanity! A guy with a record of domestic violence not getting the benefit of the doubt, what has the world come too ....

and there are abotu 40 more!!!!

Well lets see, I see a "My thoughts and prayers go out to him", "Hope he's alright", "Get well Brandon" and a lot of similar opinions. There's one or 2 that are critical of him. What's your member name on those other forums? Wait let me guess, you are Strangeworld on Finheaven.com?

1 or 2 critical of him...lol lol. Clearly you didn't read them all. And noboy is wishing the man to die, everyone wants him to be fine.

and I don't know what your talking about from Finheaven, but you might want to "get a life" cause you are clearly taking this "internet world of Dolphins football" way way WAY too seriously. Getting worked up over this stuff. Get outside, get some fresh air, talk to some people face to face.

It has absolutely zero to do with the Miami Dolphins and everything to do with respect for others and self restraint of which you seem to have little to none of either.

And you'll also notice that I'm not the only one pointing out the fact that this isn't the time to be criticisizing.

From NJPhin from your last link.

"Guy gets stabbed gets put in icu and these are first responses? Reallll scummish guys.."

My thoughts exactly.

Police report is coming out and Brandon's wife is claiming self defense. With Brandon's documented history this isn't going to be good for him. He might be facing a long NFL suspension and possible jail time if the FACTS back up her claim.

ITS A MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!!! All we do here is voice opinions!!!!! What the hell is the point of having a message board if you can't voice opinions and share thoughts??? Why have talk-radio, why have an internet message board, why have a BLOG, why have anything in your world?!?!?

Its a place to comment on news!!  

Some people here meetup at tailgates, or just to have a beer...Although, I don't see anyone here inviting you to a tailgate or for a beer ever.

don't worry I wouldn't want to hang out with you psycos and losers in any way in the "real world"!  Seeing how you act on here, I imagine seeing some in this group in real life would be like the scene from the bar in Star Wars

Then leave.

Marshall's contract allows us within 30 days once the new league season begins to cut him, and only be out $3 mill. And take almost no cap hit.

If they keep him the Fins are on the hook for $15.5 mill no matter what, no matter when they cut him down the road

Seeing how you act on here, you would likely be the type who would try to pick a fight with someone after drinking one beer. And, that's the problem with you. You have this holier than thou attitude, and you think that your opinion on everything is superior to everyone elses..even though we read the exact same websites that you do to get the exact same information. That's pretty damn funny when you think about it.

Case in point...Spider Dan and I rarely agree on anything. And we have been in arguments as well. He went to the event I put on in Oakland last season. I wasn't able to go, but if I had, I would have been more than happy to hang out with him and have a few beers.

If you went to one of my events, and I knew it was you, I'd tell you to stay the hell away from me, and if you didn't, we'd have a problem.

The difference is that even though people disagree, they can do it without being disrespectful. Your limited brain capacity doesn't seem to be able to process that.

And if you think we are all losers, then why waste your time here? Does it make you feel like a big man? Did you not get enough love from your mother as a child?

It's a two way street. Respect isn't given, its earned. The first response to this news story I put up wasn't about the topic, it was a bash at me for no reason. Yet I am supposed to be respectful? Please!

You get what you give, some of you FAIL to see that. Like I said, look in the mirror before you throw stones junior!

A GREAT post from another board...


This is at least 9 incidents of domestic violence involving Brandon Marshall, with 2 different women. That's 9 that the police have been involved in. Imagine how many others there are. And that doesn't include the incident with the gun and his father or his DUI or his arrest for theft. It doesn't include his two suspensions by the Broncos for conduct detrimental to the team. And it doesn't include the Darrent Williams murder. And if anyone read the terrific SI story on that a couple of weeks ago, Marshall does not come across well at all. Marshall was likely the intended target that night, and according to the story, it sure seemed that Marshall lied on the witness stand to protect his cousin. No wonder he feels such guilt about that night. He helped cause the events that led to his friend's murder, and he didn't come clean during the trial.

According to profootballtalk.com, the Fins can get out of Marshall's contract for just $3M. Essentially, it was a one year deal worth $9.5M, with an option on the rest of the deal. The deal also includes an out if Marshall is suspended by the league. So, Parcells and Ireland were smarter with this contract than it may have seemed.

This is not the kind of guy that you build a winning football team around. Off the field, he is a total dirtbag. Anybody who would argue that is foolish. Look at his record. On the field, he is an extremely selfish player. That showed up in Denver with his 2 suspensions. Can you imagine what Don Shula would have done to a guy who intentionally batted down passes in practice? And a guy who refused to play in a must-win game as a way to send his coach a message, as Marshall did for the last game of 2009? And a guy who intentionally commits penalties out of frustration? We were winning the Cincy game. And we had just hit a pass to Marshall in the red zone. And he gets up and throws the ball out of bounds, taking us out of the red zone, because he doesn't have enough catches? This is not the kind of guy that you want on your team. And his skills as a receiver are vastly overrated. He has led the league or been 2nd in drops in 2 of the last 3 years, and in the top 10 all 3 years. Some fans think Marshall had a down year in 2010. He didn't. Look at his per game and per catch average. That were right on what he did in Denver, 6.5 catches per game, and 12 yards per catch. He is not a downfield guy. He is a possession receiver. At the end of the year, there were reports that one reason they moved Dorrell to QB coach was because Marshall was so hard for him to work with. Marshall also clashed with Henning and Lee, getting into a sideline confrontation with Lee late in the year.

When you weigh his off field issues and his on-field issues, you get rid of the guy. His production is not worth the trouble. Do you think Belichick would keep a guy like him around? Or a Bill Cowher? Not a chance. Bite the bullett, and just cut him. It cost you a second round pick and $3M, but get off the hook before the team gets on the hook for the bulk of the rest of his contract. Admit the mistake and move on. In free agency, when it happens, bring in a Malcolm Floyd, Braylon Edwards, or James Jones. And draft a speedster. The team will be better off without him.

^^Why wasn't this written yesterday? Every last bit of it was true yesterday except for this last incident. Whomever wrote it seized the moment just to blast the guy. I realize that Marshall is no saint and I'm not defending Marshall. If it turns out Marshall brought this on himself some way and people want to criticize him, so be it, but this morning it wasn't even clear yet who had stabbed him or how serious it really was. At the time it was being reported that he was still in intesive care although they were saying he would make a full recovery. I just object to kicking a man when he's down. I may have over reacted a bit, but this isn't the first time that you've seized an opportunity to blast someone and personally I'm tired of it. I think most of the others here are too.

Do I think Belichick would keep a talented but temperamental wide receiver who has had clashes with the law and has repeatedly shown a lack of effort, including taking himself out of games?

Is this a serious question?

Uh, he got rid of him in the middle of last season. He risked hurting his offense to keep chemistry and lose off the field distraction
