He truly deserves it.

marshall isnt top 3 or top 5. and with his act, he wont be top 64 anymore. ie, not starter material…
if the broncos were in the playoffs he would pull a chad and melt down in the locker room even if they were winning at half because he was getting shut down.
and the one guy is correct, champagne set into motion a chain of events that got someone else killed. he has zero judgment and cant defeat a mcdonalds’ bag or a woman.
doggone video wont stop the circle act but if you throw tantrums at work you will get reprimanded and if it keeps up, get counseled repeatedly. firing isnt out of the question. these guys, especially wideouts, get mollycoddled.
and there is a steep drop from the raiders #1 cb to their #2 cb. lighting up the raiders #2 cb is no real feat. but he hasnt lit up any raider cb.
champagne has 104 career receptions. he isnt hof bound. i wont even say “yet”.

makes you wish for a return to the “gold ol’ days” when there was none of this “me first” mentality that’s so prevalent today.
can you imagine T.O. or Marshall pulling this crap on a team with say, Jack Lambert?
Lambert would have stuffed his sorry ass in a locker at the first sign of this garbage.

I like watching overpaid assbags make fools of themselves, it just cements the fact that there still no “I” in the word team, and these punks, and I’m not using the term loosely, can’t seem to figure that out.

“dcbronco says:
August 27, 2009 10:39 PM
You know who’s a real idiot. Mike Florio. He constantly goes on and on about anything a player does. He never mentions the things the team does to the player. He ignores that the #3 receiver in the league last year is considered the #4 receiver on the team by a new coach that has proven he is an idiot with several moves.”
Umm….you realize he’s number 4 on the depth chart because of HIS OWN ACTIONS, right?

That Mcdaniels dude must be a real a-hole. This video wont hurt his chances of another team signing him. They gave Vick another chance and what he did was far worse than slacking off in practice because he thinks his coach is a lemming. This douche bag (Mcdaniels) acts like he was born into royalty or something.

They disrespected Cutler and didn’t want to pay him and have you seen how great he looks in Chicago?
Now they are disrespecting and bad mouthing B. Marsh?
Sorry Denver fans in one off season your coaches/execs managed to get rid of your only two best players.
For those Bronco fans that just want to “cut him” or junk him your crazy. He is all you got left…

i dunno. i mean dude is top 5 receiver in the league—probably top 3. i mean, the fact that i am making the same amount as other people who suck at my job, with less experience, when i am very productive and experienced, kind of chaps my ass too. as a result, it makes me quit caring about the company i work for. viva la marshall. he’s one of the best, he’ll get paid.
signed,
objective raiders fan that actually gets it.

It’s a catch 22 (IMO). There is no doubt that Marshall is very talented. If Denver suspends him nobody really wins. I don’t claim to know how (in reality) a team should deal with it (let’s face it they have invested both time and money into Marshall) but a disgruntled player can drag down the morale of a whole team if nothing is done about it. It sucks to let a malcontent (look no further than T.O.)”run the show”. I mean that a team shouldn’t be held hostage by an unhappy player, but why keep someone around (just to make an example out of him) who doesn’t want to be there. There is no value to the team (both his teammates and management) in doing that. What real good does it do? Oh I know that he should be happy just to be playing in the NFL, without question, but I would think that Denver needs to pack his bags and ship him off for whatever they can get for him and move forward.

Finally, the last turd in Denver is about to be flushed. Say what you want about McDaniels, but most fans are happy that the days of the MoClos, Marshalls, et al. are a thing of the past. In case you didn’t know, every other player has bought into what McD is selling. Marshall is a petulant child – talented, yes – but an immature and selfish player that teams would be better off not having on their roster.

“We’ve been fair to Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall. When ESPN tried to smear him unfairly regarding battery charges on which he was later acquitted, we cried foul and demonstrated the serious flaws in Bristol’s reporting.”
Wow. Have you read your own reporting on Roethlisberger? You were all over ESPN for not jumping all over the story with both feet.
Good thing you’re here to expose ESPN’s flaws. How’s Roy Williams’ shoulder?

Brandon Marshall is a disgrace. I can’t wait until he is a Raider. Him and Javon can hang out in the could have been something lounge.

As a Broncos fan, I hope they give him the Jerry Porter treatment. Let him sit on the bench for a year and see what happens to his market value.

GREAT commentary. Total jerkwad-hope he gets traded then gets hurt. Royal is looking better for fantasy all the time.
Is McDaniels even old enough to drink??

Brandon Marshall wants respect but he knows he’s a turd. Brandon will brag about some thing a normal player just does. His stats may be like Roddy White’s but that’s where the comparison ends.
After living through the Vick/Petrino debacle, Roddy knows what it’s like to be on the short end of a meltdown. Marshall only knows what it’s like to be the one causing the meltdown. And, deep down, he knows his immature behavior is what got DWill killed.

@ VonClausewitz:
Actually, he has exactly that option. Pack it up and go home, they can’t do anything to him if he does that. He won’t get paid a cent for this year, but neither would any other contractually employed worker. This is simply a case of a player not wanting to stay now that his boys in the front office have turned over. It’s really too bad, because you signed the contract.
This is the real problem in the NFL, these players sign these contracts while they drool over the huge payday. A few years pass, and they realize they might have sold themselves up the river for one reason or another, and they want things their way again. It’s one or the other: you either play things prudently from the start, or pay the price later. Marshall should just take his arse home if he doesn’t like it.

Trey Wingo will interview him supposedly.

von claus…..
i disagree with your comparison to the “real world”. sports requires contracts to keep order. imagine a sport where any player can quit their team and sign where ever, whenever they want. it would be constant chaos, and ridiculous.

If Brandon was well respected, McDaniels would probably have a problem.
Indications from Denver are that the players have no problem w/ McDaniels. The two guys that did were the most selfish players on the roster. The video shows a single guy acting like a child. Everyone else seems to be ignoring him; they aren’t pissed, its like he’s a joke and doesn’t even exist (which in reality, he doesn’t).
Don’t get rid of him. Suspend him and make him disappear.

Ha ha this is great first Cutler now this! Wow the Billicheat coaching tree is off to a great start. And it was probably Billicheat that was filming Marshall at practice. But i have not heard PFT or BSPN mention anything about how great the Billiccheat coaching tree is going. I guess if something having to do with the Patriots goes bad we don’t hear anything about it. But this is freakin hilarious! Jerruh Jones raise your video board cause Brandon Marshalls coming to town yeee haaaaw!

dcbronco, you probably don’t realize that Marshall probably doesn’t know the plays because he’s either pretending or not trying to learn them. He’s a turd through and through and I have no doubt the team started to disrespect him after he initiated it first. He’s proven to be a douche, so he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt here.
Marshall and his turdish behavior would be a perfect fit for the Vikings. Childress will just say that he looked into the man’s eyes and fell in love….I mean, knew he was a good turd, not a bad one.

First Cutler now Marshall. They both want(ed) out of town. The question is why? It makes me wonder about what kind of coach McDaniels is. I know that alot of todays players are now prima donas but has McDaniels already lost control of his team?

B-Marsh needs to get a clue. His “big” numbers were the product of him being the only go-to receiver on a team with a all-pro caliber QB. Love or hate J-Cut, he is a solid QB.
These antics are are going to get him nowhere but suspended. The guy has zero class. He is a womanizer, he antagonized the fight that got D-Will killed, he’s a liar, a poor teammate, and most of all an immature boy with the reasoning of a parakeet.
Let this guy sit at home and pout–the broncos don’t need him and no other team wants him now. The Broncos can hold the fire under his feet with the uncapped year and the ability to slap him with the franchise tag if they want to.
Good luck B(oy)-Marsh.

Ok, so perhaps this is an indication that there’s something wrong with how NFL contracts work. It seems to me that a player in a contract dispute who has a few years left on his contract only has one option if the team shows no interest in dialogue – disrupt the hell out of things. That’s it right? That’s the only way he can dispute it. That’s the only tool in the arsenal.
In the real world if you have a contract dispute with your employer you can quit. Non-competes might delay you getting a new job for a year or 2 but that’s it. And most states have caps on that too.
As long as the NFL operates in a weird crazy pixie land free of free market competition this is the type of loyalty you’ll see.
And obviously Marshall’s sending a message that he’s done there. Yeah this is Cutler all over again. Too bad for the Donk’s they’re getting hit by lightning twice but shit happens. Is Marshall “right” or “wrong”? Who knows. That’s ultimately up for the team to decide. But this kind of bullshit would never happen if the contractual playground wasn’t so one-sided in the team’s favor.
