Will Anything Help Expedite Brandon Marshall’s Exit from Denver?
NFL July 1st. 2009, 9:00am
Brandon Marshall said he wanted out of Denver. Packed his bags. The Broncos vowed they wouldn’t trade a second superstar this summer. All was quiet in Mile High territory. And then yesterday, this report mysteriously surfaced: During an Oct. 2007 traffic stop for suspected DUI, Marshall vented about his dislike for the city.
After asking why he couldn’t see his lawyer, Marshall exploded: “That’s bullshit, that’s a lie, why aren’t you out look for [Darrent] Williams killer? I hate Denver. I hope I get traded. I hate this fucking city.”
Because there’s nothing like opening the month with a conspiracy theory - why would this report surface now? The TV station that broke the story said it went fishing based on a tip. Is it safe to assume that three groups of people knew of Marshall’s salty feelings toward Denver contained in this arrest report? The police, the team, and Marshall.
Two of those (the team and Marshall) have a vested interest in news like this emerging. First, the team: This news being brought to the forefront could cushion the negative brushback from the public should they trade him. Let’s put it out there that he hates the city! Then nobody will care if we ship him out of here! And Marshall - I know the best way out of here … let them know how I really feel, without having to call a press conference or talk to the media about it!
Selfishly, we just hope the Jets get involved.

Doubt many people are in a good mood when they are about to be arrested

I hate the Broncos, too. Denver is a cool city, tho.

Why would he want to come to New York? He would be upset with the cops for not finding the person who shot Plax.

sponge, +4.65
TBL godfather and his east coast bias always makes it about NY.

ha. If i ran it, i would throw houston sports around. No one would probably come though.

It ain’t about TBL as much as the MSM.
I mean, you’d swear that Jason Kidd is the only NBA free agent today. And TBL hasn’t said a word about it.

Yeah I am pretty sure I would curse more than just the city if I was getting arrested for DUI. This is such a non-story. Dude was drunk and getting arrested, pretty sure he wasn’t commenting on the fresh mountain air.

I was there a few weeks ago. Everyone is so god damn nice there.

I LOVE YOU DENVER! CITY BY THE BAY! JOHN DENVER!!!

Why would that even end up on the police report? Marshall was pulled over at 02:17 and didn’t take a breathalyzer until 03:31, yet this is the only thing written on the police report about what Marshall “said”. Anyone who knows him knows that he can talk and talk and talk. Why only record this?

and it looks like they gave him an hour to sober up
July 1st, 2009 at 10:26 am
Because the police write down things that are incriminating/usable in court because that’s their job as police? And it doesn’t matter what’s happening to you/what state you’re in when your arrested, bitching at a cop is both incredibly stupid and smacks of Donte Stallworthlike poor/rich entitlement.

You BAC actually increases the first couple hours after you’ve stopped drinking. You don’t start sobering up until after a few hours.

How is hating a city incriminating? First thing a cop asks when suspecting a DUI is “Have you drank any alcohol tonight?” Yet he didn’t write that part down.

Being belligerent is a sign you’ve been abusing a substance?
July 1st, 2009 at 10:39 am
I abuse a substance all the time and am only belligerent 50% of that time. I just find it odd that during that whole hour-plus, the only thing the cop decided to write down was this. I’m sure more incriminating stuff was said.

they forgot to include all the stuff he said about beating women, which along with repeated DUI, is apparently acceptable behavior in the NFL.

from an ESPN article…
Dec. 31, 2006: Marshall and several Broncos teammates were present at “The Shelter,” a nightclub in Denver’s LoDo section, as part of a birthday celebration for Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. Former Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker later told HBO’s “Real Sports” that an argument broke out at the club when Marshall and his cousin sprayed champagne on another club patron and his friend. The men, who argued with Marshall and his cousin, were then asked to leave the club, Walker told HBO. Walker admitted he didn’t see the encounter. According to media reports, around closing time, Marshall and his cousin were seen on the sidewalk outside the club arguing with the patrons who had been ejected from the club earlier that night. Walker told HBO that he believes the argument contributed to a drive-by shooting a short time later that killed Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.
The reason Williams is dead is because of this piece of garbage, and he’s yelling at the cops to find the killer? This guy’s next team should be the Mean Machine. Fuck him. Hope he rots in hell

How ironic is it I’m going to my first Denver game of my life this year. They have been a great franchise for the 22 years I have been a fan, and now once they suck I get tickets to a game. At least it’s against the other Raiders so there is a chance I’ll see a win.

I thought the Rocky Mountains would be a whole lot rockier than this. That John Denver is full of shit!
+5 Spencer.

Hey now, we don’t suck quite yet. Still have to play the games.
I know I’m in the minority around town, but I don’t really miss Jay-Jay. He was a fucking headcase and a red zone turnover machine–great at moving the ball between the 20s, but thought he could throw into triple coverage every play.
He also holds the ball longer than anyone outside of Big Ben. The myth is that his “escapability” was the reason he didn’t get sacked at all last year–horsefeathers. The reason was that he had two Pro Bowl-caliber tackles and one of the best young offensive lines in the game.
We’ll see how he does in 4 degree weather with the ghost of Orlando Pace protecting his blindside.

Nothin’ like a game against the convicts. Over/under on how many fights you’ll see/be part of: 6.
