Brandon Marshall Tweets ESPN "Lied" To Him About an E:60 Profile

Brandon Marshall was the subject of a piece on ESPN’s E:60 program tonight that touched upon his prior issues with domestic violence accusations and how he’s changed to become a voice for mental health awareness. The Chicago Bears receiver wasn’t happy about how the segment turned out and claimed on Twitter that ESPN and reporter Lisa Salters “lied” to him.

Marshall posted this series of tweets Tuesday evening:

@E60 is running a piece on me tonight that they lied to me about. It was suppose to be a story on a camp. They followed me around 2 years

Here is a preview of the segment:

Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith watched the entire piece and, in his opinion, said it painted a “favorable” picture of Marshall, noting how it focused on how the receiver had turned his life around.

Marshall, who was suspended three games in 2008 for personal conduct violations, has worked as a correspondent on Inside the NFL this year. The Sherman Report detailed that Marshall was candid and thoughtful in his debut on the show.
