Going to Brandon Marshall about DV advice is like asking Hilary about email advice. Come on Showtime, are you really that desperate for ratings?

Brandon Marshall makes Hardy look like a choir boy:

"Oct. 31, 2004: During his junior year at Central Florida, Marshall was arrested at a Denny’s restaurant in Orlando, Fla., on charges of assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, trespass and resisting arrest without violence and refusal to obey. The charges were dismissed.

April 8, 2005: Marshall was charged with retail theft, a misdemeanor, after trying to return a stolen set of bed sheets, valued at $19.99, to a Burlington Coat Factory. The charge was dropped.

June 17, 2006: Marshall and longtime girlfriend Rasheedah Watley both filed police reports alleging physical abuse by the other in a long altercation at an Orlando apartment. No arrests or charges were made.

Jan. 1, 2007: Marshall was at the Denver nightclub Shelter with Broncos teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams, attending a birthday party for Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the group left the club in a limousine, Williams was shot fatally in the neck by an unknown assailant. Walker later said the shooter was likely another man at the nightclub who was seeking retaliation after an altercation with Marshall's cousin that evening. Marshall testified at the trial of gunman Willie Clark that he helped escalate the dispute that led to Williams' death.

Jan. 24, 2007: According to the Denver Post, police interviewed Marshall and his father after an argument in an Orlando parking lot. Marshall claimed his father tried to hit him with his car. His father claimed Marshall had fired a gun. Both men declined to press charges.

March 18, 2007: In Atlanta, Watley told police Marshall punched her and took her purse while in a hotel. Marshall was gone before police arrived. No charges were filed.

March 21, 2007: According to the Denver Post, police in Palm Beach County, Fla., interviewed Marshall and Watley twice in the same night after two loud arguments. Both said the disturbances were not physical in nature. No arrests or charges were made.

March 26, 2007: Marshall was arrested in a Denver suburb on suspicion of domestic violence. Watley reported Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house. Marshall completed anger management counseling and the charges were dropped two months later.

June 8, 2007: According to the Denver Post, two incident reports were filed by Atlanta police. A friend of Watley’s claimed Marshall hit her car and then threw a rock at the passenger door as Watley was riding in the passenger seat. Watley also told police Marshall cut her in the thigh and punched her in the face. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Marshall was not present when police arrived. No charges were filed.

June 30, 2007: According to the Denver Post, Watley told Atlanta police Marshall punched and choked her at his condo. She had a bruise and scratches. Marshall was not present when police arrived. No charges were filed.

Oct. 22, 2007: Marshall was arrested in Denver and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He was pulled over driving the wrong way on a one-way street hours after a game. He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to one year of probation and 24 hours of community service.

March 6, 2008: Marshall was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery in Atlanta after a dispute with Watley. She told police he punched her in the mouth and eye. Marshall said he cut his hand on glass.

Aug. 6, 2008: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Marshall for three games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The suspension was reduced to one regular-season game and a fine of an additional game check, costing him $52,353.

March 1, 2009: Marshall was arrested in Atlanta on disorderly conduct charges after allegedly being involved in a dispute with then-fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell, now his wife. Charges were dropped the next day.

Aug. 14, 2009: Marshall was found not guilty on the battery charges from the March 2008 arrest in Atlanta.

April 23, 2011: Marshall was taken to Broward General Medical Center after Nogami-Campbell stabbed him in the abdomen at their Florida home. Nogami-Campbell told police she stabbed Marshall “out of self-defense.”

Sunday: Marshall is accused by a 24-year-old woman of punching her in the eye, leaving a black eye, in an altercation outside a club in New York. Marshall’s attorney says it was Marshall’s wife that was injured and says the couple are the true victims in the case."

Whoever his lawyers is........is clearly under paid. Hasn't spent a single day in jail....and has a rapsheet longer than most convicted felons. Good grief. :(

Marshall is a smart dude. I have no issues with what he had to say. And, if you heard it, he said it respectfully. It's his opinion.

Hardy's not going to care.

Yeah, Brandon is smart... And he should have used those brains to compare his own personality disorder with Hardy"s individual personality in dealing with the media and this issue in general. To be smart about it:rolleyes:

I agree and give Marshall credit he has owned up with his own issues and has helped others with the light he has brought to it.

What is Hardy supposed to do? Tattoo "I'm Sorry and I've learned from my mistakes" across his forehead? Perhaps that would appease Mr. Marshall.

You guys are taking what Marshall said out of context. Marshal wasn't calling out Hardy. He was basically saying Hardy has some of the same problems that he once had. Marshall has really turned his life around once he started getting help. I didn't feel like what he was saying came from a bad place.

Domestic violence was a symptom of Marshalls mental issues. I don't see this as the usual piling on.

Its not. Marshall is the only guy who's going to be breve enough to compare his past to current players. Marshall would be a great guy for Hardy to talk to if there's a problem there.

Precisely. But as usual, mother bear comes out around here rather than careful thought about what was said.

Thing is, I do not know if Hardy is at that point.

How much do you think our two new RBs can help our defense with Seattle scheme and tips?

And is anyone else worried of Greg hardy going nuts on Marshall when the reporters bring it up? I think it's gonna get bad! (Marshall has no room to talk about anything tbh)

I don't see Hardy saying much to the reporters. He is pretty stand offish in the locker room. Only time I can see him saying anything is if someone was to ask him after the game when he is still "kracken".

Hardys one incident with a woman that was supposedly cheating on him with Nelly and he was trying to dump. I see this as a little bump in the road. His first and only arrest and people acting like he has multiple

I know how it is lol. All mother bear cares about is wins but there is something clearly wrong here. Cowboy fans shouldn't be ashamed or scared to call it like they see it with Hardy.

So you believe he should hit rock bottom and do something even worse next time before we consider him to have a problem.

I won't pretend to know if he is exactly like Marshall, but I respect the fact his comments are slanted differently than just painting him as some sort of psychopath intent on killing someone or something.

If he has some disorder, he could be able to manage it and channel effectively (like Haley). He is just crazy enough for me to admit that he's not exactly normal. I like his personality and passion, just like I appreciated Haley's on how it allowed him to be a dominant football player.

I would hate to see it be a case like Marshall where he had something organically wrong. But ultimately he knows who he is and if he can keep himself in control to help his team win.

No but i believe if a man has his first incident of domestic violence in his late 20's with a woman that is reported to date high profile people and is reported to live "the party life" and he has NO other incidents of violence or arrest...than most likely it was the situation he was put into concerning his heart and emotions. Maybe it was the woman he was dealing with, the situations she was putting him in and the people she was injecting into his life. No one wants to say or keep it real of what really happened.
