We don't make that trade yesterday and that news breaks today as it did, we not only aren't getting 2 3rds for him...we are getting nothing in return because not even the Bears would make that deal. Fact is Ireland was notified after the incident and made moves very quickly before this got out. When cutting bait you gave to take what you can get sometimes. We are very fortunate the news broke when it did so the "black eye" is no longer on us and we got something for him in return.
Great move Ireland!! Sorry Bears, he is your problem now. Hide your women and get the glue on the footballs!
Apparently the Bears are claiming they didn't know about this... and they have 24hrs to recind the trade.
I do. BPD is the worst mental disease you could have. It is a Cluster B personality disorder and it is basically incurable. The worst part is they SEEM normal when you talk to them.
As usual, some media are saying the Bears didn't know. And others are saying they did know. Though more seem to be staunch that both sides were aware.
Unfortunately, when someone has made a habit of getting into trouble and hitting woman, they lose the benefit of the doubt even if the last time was justified. That's not unfair, its his choices that have gotten it to this point.
I wouldn't wish BPD on my worst enemy. I ran as fast as I could from my ex-wife when it became apparent she had it. It's like living on a never-ending roller coaster ride spurred by the most inconsequential daily occurrences. I was shocked to see Brandon come out pubicly as BPD is a disease that seeks to deny itself. Apparently his therapy isn't working. Good riddance.
@BenVolinPBP RT @BradBiggs: #Bears say both them and #Dolphins were aware of Brandon Marshall nightclub incident
Samphin, If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it is a duck. Marshall has a long history of this. If this was the first incident he should be given the benefit of the doubt. This is the 10th incident. One of which had previously resulted in the death of a teammate. If I was involved or partially at fault for the death of someone close to me because of my late night partying and drinking problems, I would remove myself permanantly from that lifestyle. Apparently, Marshall has no desire to modify his behavior and will continue to test fate. Typical of people with his incurable condition.
You all know I don't give Ireland a lot of credit but even he would know better than to make this trade without telling the Bears of the news. His perception around the league already isn't great, but this would have been devastating. I preceded most of my melt down posts yesterday with "If there isn't more to this..." Well this is the more. I'm still not thrilled my favorite current Dolphin player is no longer a Dolphin, but the pill is much easier to swallow today if this report about the woman is true. And it explains why the value was low.
Sounds like Bears GM Phil Emery blew any chance this trade could be rescinded if he didn't know: “Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend,” Emery said in a statement. “We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear.” http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sport...ins-pull-a-fast-one-on-the-chicago-bears.html
This year the WR market is gigantic. The bears probably said "look this news will break tomorrow and you wont get **** for marshall. we will give you 2 3rds, take it or leave it and we will try to sign VJax, manningham, lloyd, robinson or get floyd/jeffrey/wright in the draft. Your choice" if thats the case, then 2 3rds works for us.
I tried to convince everyone that Brandon Marshall is a puke. Most didn't listen. Fans become blinded by the name and they don't want to hear the negatives and with Brandon there are many. This is not an "I told you so" post. It is the blatant truth. I was never impressed with Marshall as a football player or as a man.
I understand your pain Aqua being that your favorite player is a fraud but the first part of your statement is simply not true. The second part of your statement is absolutely true. The fanbase has lost their freakin' minds. It's like watching candy being taken from a baby.
Sir you have some good thoughts and dont wear the Homer glasses that I commend. But you come across alot of I told ya's and I was right posts just saying. people only remember negativity
You have to know that if you want trouble you hang out at clubs, if you are trying to deal with problems you avoid those places where trouble is waiting. No way should you hit a woman.
You were right all along, I didn't feel we lost anything with the trade and feel like Philbin meant it when he said he wanted a team with character not a team of characters.
Lets back up on the third round picks notmeaning anything, most teams third rd picks are usually pretty good. its the dolphins third round picks that have not made a impact and its the gm and head coach 's fault. As for Marshall he had offf the field problems were traced back to denver and thatwas why I wanted Dez. of course looking back now iwould not have been disapointed if we had drafted dez and traded for Marshall both . i think its time for miami to bring in two wrs for depth and talent. what gets me is why in hell did the miami media not report this but a source fromnew york did report this. the mmedia in florida sure has alot to be desired too.
Is it borderline bc he'll likely be on the field for bordering half the season? Hard to be a top 5 WR in any season when you won't be playing most of it.
Dont they say FORE anymore when your about to get a bottle in the face? Common courtesy jeez, and while i love Marshall this family needs to stay away from glass. just saying
A more accurate statement would be that at least half of your posts are you insinuating you are a better fan than most everyone else on this board including this one.
