Meet the commissioner
Brett Favre is hardly the only player NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is monitoring. Goodell also is tracking the talented but troubled wide receivers, Brandon Marshall and Chris Henry.
Each receiver, Marshall and Henry, was in New York on Monday to meet with the commissioner. Each pleaded his case, hoping to avert or shorten a suspension. Rulings are expected next week.
Marshall is facing a four-to-eight game suspension for a pattern of conduct the NFL does not approve. Losing Marshall for at least a quarter of the season would be a blow to the Broncos.
But Marshall was arrested three times in the span of one year, though he has yet to be convicted. The league now is weighing whether it should suspend Marshall, and how long the suspension would be.
"You are always concerned any time the commissioner calls you in to have a meeting," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said at his Thursday press conference. "It's obviously not a good sign."
Former Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith accompanied Marshall on his trip to the league’s New York offices. Smith is a perfect example of a player who once encountered his own off-the-field difficulties and conquered them the way he did cornerbacks.
Smith matured and evolved into an example of how every player should carry himself.
Henry currently is on indefinite suspension for his own pattern of poor decisions and bad behavior. Henry was arrested for the fifth time in April.
Henry is trying to have the suspension overturned to play as soon as possible.
If Henry is reinstated, it likely will not come until sometime in the middle of the season.
:bang2: :bang2: :bang2:
But the league believes Henry offered a sufficient argument as to why he should have his suspension lifted.
I guess we better get Glenn into camp cause Henry was our last hope at a legitimate #2 WR!
