She later recanted her story to the cops, and Smith still had to cop a plea anyway (to "verbal harrassment"). The prosecutors were going forward with the charges even without her support because of the physical evidence that she'd been beaten up. Smith publicly thanked his girl for changing her story (AKA lying) and "restoring his reputation". Then he even made backhanded comments about how he was actually the one getting abused in the relationship. He talked about it on Oprah, but never admitted to anything more than the "anger" that led to the "verbal harrassment". As far as he's concerned, the beating never happened. The only good thing you can say is that he kept his nose clean after that. But Smith is no one to be emulated. Rod Smith never once owned up to beating his wife/GF/baby mama.

In fact, every player should try to emulate the behavior and attitude of the Rod Smiths out there. People are going to make mistakes, but can those people learn enough from those mistakes to not repeat them? Brandon Marshall's problem is that he's still a kid, and still thinks of himself as a kid. He's not mean, he's not a thug, he's not a "bad" person. He just needs to grow up, and there are few out there that realize this more than the MAN that sat next to him in Goodell's office.

I understand your need to defend him though seeing as how you probably hang off every word he says as scripture.

This on the heels of an astounding performance where Brandon was able to put away a 26 of JD and then promptly drive his vehicle home.
