Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall says that in the wake of a turbulent off-season that culminated with a three-game suspension, he knows he needs to conduct himself like a professional, both on the field and off.
“I’m just going to do everything I’m supposed to do, whether it’s off the field or on the field, and get past this,” Marshall said today in his first public comments since his suspension was announced.
Marshall, whose three-game suspension can be reduced to two games if he meets certain league-imposed conditions, wouldn’t say whether he thinks the NFL has treated him fairly.
“You know what, it doesn’t matter,” he said. “It’s in the past and all I can do is worry about now. I can’t worry about yesterday. … It’s just being the best player I can be in the community and on the field. That’s all it is. It’s not hard. You know, it’s not rocket science. … And like I said, I have a job to do and I plan on getting it done.”

It appears that Mr. Marshall is getting some sound advice to which he is finally listening. Hopefully he has really learned from his mistakes, but if not, lip service will suffice if he continues to produce on the field.

Yeah, what Marshall says, you don’t gotta be Albert Einhorn to know how to take care of business. Or was it Albert Finkel? Or is it that Finkel IS Einhorn!?! Eckstein, Frankenstein? I’m really surprised he nailed the ‘rocket science’ idiom on the first try, instead saying, “it isn’t political/earth/racket/{insert word here} science.”

Thats the way athletes think now days…ok, so i screwed up…no big deal…I get another chance to stay rich and if I screw up again…probably another chance…it’s to a point where fans as a whole are so addicted to the NFL and college ball that we just keep looking the other way and throw more coin at these entertainers…sick.

Brandon your problems are not in the past. You have court coming up for a DUI.
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Yada Yada. The fact is, Brandon, one more false move and you could be DONE in the NFL.
I would hate to see the Bronco’s tearing it up in the playoffs this year without you!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

did you even read about those 11 911 calls?
some were noise complaints and almost all of them didnt involved marshall in any wrong doing. but im sure you have never had the police called to your house for a noise complaint right? and that automatiacally make him a bad person. some of you need to get off your high horse. no one is perfect.
and yes in this case it is the “crazy b****”. she calls him in and no charges are ever filed against him. then she sent a letter to him and the Broncos threatening to tell the media he hits her if they didnt give her 500,000 dollars.
sane women do that all the time dont they?

What I still can’t figure out is how does Marshall get 3 games, and Marshawn Lynch gets nothing? If a running back’s car hits a pedestrian in Buffalo in the off-season, and no one is around to see it, does it make a sound in the commissioner’s office?

RaiderFan420:
It is unbelievable that you keep mocking the Broncos about making the playoffs this year, when it is blantly obvious that the Broncos are going to be twice the team that the Raiders are. At least Denver can talk about making the playoffs this year, for Oakland they have been “rebuilding” for the last 5+yrs and will continue that way for at least the next 5yrs. Make fun of Marshall all you want, but I give McFadden all of one year before he gets himself into serious trouble. Also, one last parting jab, you mentioned you went to law school?? And your screen name includes 420?? I would be willing to be $10K that you are a pathetic ambulance chaser, enjoy being the scum of the earth. Take a report.

Brandon’s problem has always been maturity. It appears like he’s heading in the right direction, but we’ll have to see. For those that don’t know much about him other than his publicized problems you HAVE to see him play. The kid is an amazing talent - a highlight reel in the making! If he can stay clean then you’ll be seeing plenty of him and Cutler hooking up for years to come.
Be like Rod, Brandon!
