Brandon Marshall may be looking for another team yet again.

Brandon Marshall’s list of transgressions with the law is even more impressive than his NFL stats, and his NFL stats are pretty impressive. Marshall is one of the top wide receivers in the NFL at the moment.  He’s got the NFL record for most receptions in a game (21) and he’s only one of five wide receivers in NFL history to catch 100 passes in three consecutive seasons.  He’s also got multiple arrests for domestic violence, assault, DUI, disorderly conduct… you name it.  It is this unique combination of talent and risk that puts Brandon Marshall in the news today.  Brandon Marshall was traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Chicago Bears on Tuesday; Marshall was arrested on assault charges from an incident that happened at a night club on Sunday.

Christin Myles was celebrating her birthday at a nightclub in New York City when she left the upper floor around 4 AM.  When she came back, she found a member of her group of friends was squared off with NFL star Brandon Marshall.  Somehow, Marshall ended up punching Myles in the eye.

Predictably, Marshall’s attorney Harvey Steinberg tells a different story:  “Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York.  After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club.  While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends.”  Steinberg added that Marshall’s wife was hit in the face with a thrown bottle at the nightclub and needed medical attention for her injuries.

Here’s the key question, given the timing.  Did the Dolphins know that Marshall was facing legal troubles and that’s why they traded him away for bargain-basement prices?  It’s pretty suspicious, all things considered.  It remains to be seen how this will play itself out; after the Sam Hurd Scarface incident, I imagine the Bears will be pressing the league to overturn this trade, no matter how much Jay Cutler needs the help.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
