If you thought Brandon Marshall had an eventful regular season, you know what I mean, with those 102 catches and all, he has nearly duplicated the feat with 102 (or so) incidents off the field. Alright, it's slightly less than that, but with the volume and tenacity of which his trangressions are being reported, any hope the Broncos were going to have a quiet offseason was dismissed quicker than Travis Henry frolm the roster.

The issue of Marshall and his issues, is rather clear. He has anger problems and a lying problem and I'm not even referring to his McDonald's bag incident, a story which some seem to think is skeptical. Even the attorney for Marshall's long time girlfrriend, whose accusations have caused much of this story to develop, outright laughed at the notion he severed a tendon on a Golden Arches bag. He is losing the public relations war because while many believe on the field he is great, believing his claim that he is a good guy----which may or may not be true---is a stretch even for a guy who plays on a team that is loved around here.

At this stage, Marshall has much bigger issues than trying to verbally spar with an attorney, you would think. He constantly says he needs to try and surround himself with those that have a positive influence. The problem here is that Marshall, in front of the camera, always says the right thing, but rarely actually does the right thing, especially with matters requiring any level of seriousness. He has said he is friendly to any fan that would come up to him at a grocery store. Alright, that means what? Plenty of guys can be great one moment and totally different the next moment. Trying to reinvent his image by pointing to fleeting moments of fan interaction is not really a logical rationale in this case.

We know that if this was anyone else, not a star player, only 25 years old, and a big part of the team's potential success in the 2008 season, there is little reason to think he would still be here in a Denver uniform. Though, I am not going to go there yet. These are charges. If it comes to light that they are true, then we will all see if Mike Shanahan's vow of "character" on this team meaning something is true or just an excuse to get rid of players that can't produce the way they to used to. Just my thoughts.

Enjoy your weekend.
