OT - Brandon Marshall

[ReasonablySober]

I've never seen anything like this, ever.

What a loser.

[LUKE23]

Wow what a bum. That will sure up the trade value once that video gets out.

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

Wow, what a douche. This is worse then anything TO has ever done. Knocking down passes when they are thrown to you and punting balls away from the ball boys...pretty pathetic. He needs to remember he's playing a game for more money than most people could ever even hope to make.

For the sake of my fantasy team I really hope they trade him. If I would have seen this last weekend I definitely wouldn't have drafted him...

[El Duderino]

What the hell is it with wide receivers and being complete morons?

Obviously not all WR's are the biggest drama queens on the planet, both Driver and Jennings are team first and handle themselves in a professional manner. That said, no position in all of pro sports can touch receivers at being boorish self centered me first jack asses.

Marshall is a great talent, but i wouldn't give up a 7th round pick for that douche bag.

we've been pretty lucky to have some class acts lately. That clip looked like a SNL parody.

Id give up a lot more than that for him .

That is definitely immature on his part. But after watching McDaniels act this off season i am not going put the entire blame on Marshall. McDaniels is just as big of a tool as Marshall. I saw this coming as soon as his snake in the grass act with Cutler.

[Ryan5UW]

I had to laugh - in an interview w/ESPN about that video and after it was released, one of the things he said was that he's not trying to be a distraction to the team. Really Brandon, do you believe that? Some athletes are just so clueless it's pathetic.

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

If Marshall had any kind of intelligence, he'd work his ass off this year, put up big numbers and get a big contract from another team in the off-season. I wonder what his agent is doing and if he has explained this to him. It's not like Marshall has 3 more years on his deal, he's a fa at the end of the year. At the rate he's going right now, he isn't going to get top 5 WR money, unless Oakland or Dallas give him a huge deal.

No surprise, suspended for the rest of the preseason:

Broncos suspend WR Marshall
ESPN.com news services

The Denver Broncos have suspended Brandon Marshall for the rest of the preseason for insubordination.

Coach Josh McDaniels met with Marshall Friday morning and informed him he was being suspended for conduct detrimental to the team after exhibiting open acts of insubordination Wednesday on the practice field.

McDaniels informed the team in a full-squad meeting of the decision Friday, at the end of a meeting in which they discussed the upcoming game against Bears.

The Broncos already have had discussions with the league regarding Marshall's suspension. They are expected to reassess the situation when the preseason ends Sept. 6.

Marshall said during an ESPN interview Thursday night that he was not trying to force a trade through insubordination, but that frustration got the best of him during a disruptive display at practice this week.

In the video aired by KMGH-TV from Wednesday's portion of practice that was open to the media, Marshall was shown walking when the rest of the team was running during warmups, insolently punting the ball away instead of handing it to a ball boy and swatting away a pass that was thrown to him.

Marshall said some of the video, which included a shot of him sitting on his pads before practice, was taken out of context. But he acknowledged his frustration boiled over and that it was an error in judgment to act as he did, especially when he punted the ball.

"I think everybody knows there's a lot of stuff built up there, and me handling it that way wasn't good," Marshall said.

Marshall said he wasn't trying to force his way out of town -- he asked for a trade this summer after the Broncos declined to rework a contract that will pay him $2.2 million this season.

"I'm not out there trying to be a distraction to the team," Marshall said. "Unfortunately, yesterday I kind of let my frustration get the best of me."

Marshall, held out of the Broncos' preseason game at Seattle on Sunday night after admitting he didn't know the playbook and running almost strictly with the scout team last week, said he wants to get ready for another good season in Denver.

Information from ESPN reporter Ed Werder, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter and The Associated Press was used in this report.

I know he is acting foolish but if I were him I'd try to act up and get out of Denver. It worked for Cutler why not try it himself. I only hope that he doesn't get traded to the Bears.

Cutler didn't take it that far. Why would anyone take Marshall after seeing that video?

Loser?

You dont know the whole story. I would not want to play for a rookie coach either with no proven QB...or one who you trusted (Cutler) gone if I was a Pro Bowl caliber reciever just in my prime in a game where your window is 5-7 years. I don't blame him...

You fans rip him and do the same thing on your jobs to your boss! LOL...probaly not to his or her face,, but you do it. Why is he is douche bag? Is his actions right or wrong, who can say. The media will paint it one way and fans see it one way, but there could be many sides to the story.

Fans always bring up the money issue when they see something they don't approve of but then they do something at a stadium stupid after downing a six pack, then they excuse it like "well, I pay my money I have a right to do whatever the hell I want to" kind of vibe....LOL.

The ole' double standard. Tsk tsk tsk LOL. Get over it. It is not even about money really for him I bet. Plus, it is not his fault he is paid for playing football and you are not.

In fact, to some players fans might be doubchebags to them! LOL....you ever think of that? Yes he is acting childish, but maybe so is that organization.

Shanahan is gone, Cutler is gone, and in comes a new system and new routine with a guy who does not know what he is doing in a tough AFC West!

You traded Cutler, and fired Shanahan, then trade him and be done with it. The media shows you him skipping with his teamates and punting a ball and knocking it down and all of a sudden he is a demon!?

LOL.....no. We will see how it plays out. He is a grown man and Pro athlete who is not a robot and who shows some emotion in a practice...so what. Fine him and move on...the same thing happens in every NFL camp...dont get it twisted and on every job.

[BucksRuleAll22]

That is awesome. They fine you if you miss camp and thats what I always thought I would do if i didnt want to be in a situation. The Broncos are a joke how can you not blame him for not being happy.

[Wade-A-Holic]

in a tough AFC West!

[A Diddy2231]

Didnt want to post a thread for this, but since this thread is Bronco's related...the fans in Denver really gave it to Cutler...I can only hope the boos are twice as loud in Lambeau for Favre

[mbucks22]

Anyone else watching this Bears/Broncos game right now? The Bears "offense" looks dreadful. Cutler looks as uncomfortable as can be.

[A Diddy2231]

I agree mbucks22, I just dont feel the need to be worried bout the Bears offense when Hester is the number 1, there tight ends are good, but just as they are every year, I see them as a dink and dunk team in the passing game

[LUKE23]

Bears don't concern me on either side of the football. Our DB's can easily handle their WR's without safety help, leaving the safeties open to playing the run and the short Olsen routes.

[ReasonablySober]

Orlando Pace should from here on out be known as Orlando Pace's Dead Carcass.

Yeah forgot the Broncos RE's name but he is getting around him with ease!!

Kind of nice we get another scouting report tomorrow night with the Vikings game
