Inside Bronco's legal problems
A day after Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall and his attorney publicly claimed that his March 6 arrest was the result of a "shakedown," his former girlfriend's attorney fired back. "His story that he has been a victim is as pathetic as the story that he slipped on a McDonald's bag and injured his arm," David McGill, one of the two attorneys representing Rasheedah Watley, said Thursday night. "Hopefully, he will be as eager to tell his story in a court of law, under oath, as he has been in the media." Shortly after his March 22 accident, Marshall told reporters he slipped on a fast-food wrapper and crashed into a television set, seriously injuring his right arm. He later said he was actually roughhousing with his brother when the injury happened. Wednesday, the day after his March 6 arrest in Atlanta on a misdemeanor battery charge became public, Marshall and his attorney, Harvey Steinberg, told several media outlets that there was not a physical altercation between Marshall and Watley on March 4 at his downtown Atlanta condominium. According to an Atlanta Police Department report, Watley told police Marshall "threw her on the bed, grasped her head with his hand and began to slap her." Marshall's hand was cut the same night. He told police he was attacked by two of Watley's sisters and had been "cut on glass during the fight." "We find it disturbing Mr. Marshall has denied physically abusing this young lady," McGill said Thursday. "We have plenty of evidence to corroborate the history of physical abuse." These are just the latest barbs in the increasingly bitter legal dispute between Marshall and Watley, his longtime girlfriend. Watley, 24, has a temporary restraining order against Marshall in Fulton County, Ga.

Brandon Marshall is a beast on the field....when he was at UCF, I knew he would be a stud in the NFL......
But the way he is going about his business during his off time is going to tear his whole life apart. He needs to get it together quickly. I wish him the best but it seems as though he thinks he is above the law.

From slipping on a Mickey D rapper to beating up a woman? This is a confused mess of lies. Touch a woman violently - go to jail........unacceptable!

If Michael Vick got jail time for killing a dog Brandon Marshall needs to be in jail longer for hitting his girlfriend.

i injured myself opening a packet of ketchup from hardee's, and that cost my ex to get a black eye due to the fact that she tried to help me up and my clenched fist just happened to land right on her eye. 1 in a million shot.

This the problem with athletes. You know people are out to get rich off of them so every story has that underlying premise. Fake legal accusations to make a buck. Every court case has the same defense. "Your honor... they're trying to get rich off me". Adam "Don't call me Pacman, call me Adam or Mr Jones" Jones claimed the same thing. He was innocent and people were just trying to make a buck off his fame.

Three arrests in twelve months. This guy has all the makings of an elite player in the NFL. I wonder if he slipped on a six pack when he got charged with the DUI. Hey, it happens.

So ..... what else is new?
Just another day in the life of the NFL, which seems to attract trouble souls and low lives like a dead possum attracts maggots!
