I was listening to the Michael Irvin show on ESPN radio today at lunch and I was impressed by what I heard from Brandon Marshall, receiver for the Denver Broncos. He's portrayed in the media as a trouble maker who should be happy just playing in the NFL, much less demanding a new contract. What's he done that's so bad? He got into a fight with his girlfriend and was acquitted of any wrongdoing. He hurt himself last offseason wrestling with his brother....what's so bad about that? Marshall struck me as an intelligent player who was careful with his words and for the most part respectful of the Broncos organization and of his new coach. He said he loves to play football whether it's in his backyard, in Denver, or anywhere else. The money stuff is between managment and his agent. Marshall has earned a new contract and the Broncos should give it to him. Over 100 catches each of the last two years! This is a picture of the Broncos receivers this year....Marshall is 3rd from the left. The guy looks like a man among boys and he's in his prime at 25 years old. Why WOULDN'T you want to keep this guy under contract?? Irvin said in the interview the Cowboys would love to have him....Marshall responded that Irvin wouldn't want him to come to Dallas and break all his records!
The QB situation in Denver is questionable but I can't pass up this much talent. In my latest Tier draft I landed Marshall in the end of the 6th round. Marshall is an elite talent going at bargain prices. They don't call him "Baby T.O." for nothing.
For Marshall's sake I hope he gets a ticket out of Denver. Long live Mike Shanahan! And let's bring Shanahan to Dallas next year!
