Brandon Marshall

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who's had a string of off-the-field brushes with the law, has had another.

 

Marshall was arrested Sunday in Atlanta and booked into the Atlanta City Jail on a disorderly conduct charge. Details of the events leading to Marshall's arrest are not known at this time. A supervisor at the jail would only tell ESPN's John Barr that Marshall was involved in a fight.

 

Marshall posted a $300 bond and has been released. This is the fourth arrest for Marshall since March 2006. He was suspended last season by the NFL for three games (later reduced to one) for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

 

:wacko:

I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate here and say maybe we should wait and get the whole story. Of course, he shouldn't be putting himself into situations where stuff like this is potentially going to happen... but you never know. I've seen people get arrested after fights that really had nothing to do with what happened. :wacko:

 

But, knowing Marshall's history, I'm sure something fishy is up. What a buffoon.

What an idiot. He deserves to miss 8 games.

 

:wacko:

 

A bit harsh since we don't know any of the details, don't you think David? What happens if it turns out that he was defending himself?

I'm seeing it was disorderly conduct and he was involved in a fight.

 

Disorderly is the catch all charge that is often used when other charges can't be used. It could be that he was just defending himself and they wanted to arrest everyone involved.

 

Like Taz said the $300 bail may tell us it wasn't serious.

Most of these involve his former girlfriend. I wonder if this is another fight with her. I wish he'd stay out of Atlanta

 

Marshall's transgressions

I'm done with the kid. Yes, the past involved a former girlfriend, but he's engaged now to another woman. He shouldn't be in ATL at all. Combine this garbage with the fact that his hand still hasn't fully recovered -- still experiencing numbness -- from the 'accident' last year, I question his future as an elite WR.

 

 

I wish these guys that come from bad neighborhoods would move their families to new cities, get new friends and stay completely away from their former problems. Buy them all homes on the other side of the country. You're from Georgia :wacko: move to Arizona.

Jebus, what the hell is going on with the Broncs these days!

 

Marshall obviously can't be trusted to take care of himself. If he hasn't grown up by now, it's not going to happen. The incident could be nothing, but then again, where there's smoke......
