As the signs point toward a suspension of Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, there’s new evidence that could influence NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision on the matter.
According to CompleteColorado.com, three individuals sought, and received, “temporary protective orders” against Marshall for stalking. None of the three people were Rasheeda Watley, the woman with whom several of Marshall’s legal entanglements originated.
CompleteColorado.com also reports that Douglas County deputies have been dispatched to, or have taken 911 calls from, Marshall’s home six times since Marshall’s arrival in the Denver area.
In one of the incidents, from July 2007, a security guard had threatened to kill a member of the Denver Broncos, presumably other than Marshall.
None of these incidents are recent, and it’s unknown whether the team or the NFL were aware of them. Also, there’s no evidence of any specific wrongdoing by Marshall in connection with any of the incidents.
That said, this new information isn’t likely to make the league reconsider any decision to suspend Marshall.

Wow Florio, I can see you are bringing out the Big Media there! I live in Colorado, and never heard of CompleteColorado.com . I guess people can create news outlets without having any journalists. Maybe I should create a website call it realnewscolorado.com and say that Shanahan will be fired you might legitimize it and give it some credibility. Thank God, Mr. Marshall cannot sue you for libel, slander, and defamation of character for the propagation and perpetuation of innuendo and averred allegations. Bottomline stick to real media when citing allegations.

I pretty much hope all the Bronco receivers go down in flames this season. Would help the Chiefs a bit… but seriously, he’s not been charged with anything but he’s definitely a bad guy. There’s no way Jay Cutler would have called him out earlier in the off-season were he not.

Marshall is certainly #2 in talent on this team (2nd to Cutler), so i’d be pissed if i were a Bronco fan and he was behaving like this too…
that said, Romans58 is crazy to call out the credibility of this news site or Florio’s bias here… Your receiver is a turn - deal with it. I’m not sure he’s done enough to warrant a suspension at present, but who knows - maybe sending a message will straighten Brandon out.

Wow. Talk about digging for crap. If anyone has taken a min to read this “news” you would see that only 1 of the six times was for Marshal. He had his music up too loud at 3 am. Get out the torches and pitchforks. NOT MUSIC UP TOO LOUD!!! Please. There are enough black eyes in the NFL without digging up stuff like this.

I wonder if Ms. Whatley is related to Jerry’s dentist, Tim, who became Jewish just for the jokes.

so at first you say theres more trouble for marshall. then after explaining that none of the calls were for him you say that its probably not going to have an effect on his standing with the NFL.
so what was the point of mentioning it in the first place if it wasnt his fault and nothing is going to come of it?
slow day?

BREAKING NEWS!!! MARSHALL IS LATE ON HIS CREDIT CARDS!! This isn’t really that big of a deal, I just wanted to bring it up on my website to be able to claim that I was somewhat responsible for the media hype to get him suspended.

As a die hard Bronco fan, it pains me to see my team turn classless. Get rid of the bum now, cut your losses and go the other way. Knowing full-well, you are getting rid of your most talented player. Talent alone does not win games. If so, the Charger would be unbeatable. This is just in the last 2 years (see below) his history before that was suspect too…
