Oh man, well this is as much of a test as Jason Allen's game this week, Beast went off for 10 for 166 and a TD, but has an ax to grind with NFLN's Mayock and Sharpe and Co over their take on his last series.
Sparano will have his hands full at his afternoon presser today.

Marshall's wrong for that response. He was gassed, he said so himself. That's someone who pissed about not scoring and and being angry about someone else highlighting his "inadequacy" - for lack of a better word - in this instance.
He's pissed at himself, I get that. Saying that isn't the right way o go about it though. If you make the play the next time they have nothing to say. No biggie, the guy missed camp time with a hip and hurt his hip in the game.
It's ****ed up, but not that bad.DolfanJake, TheAnswer385, Frumundah Finnatic and 8 others like this. -
I don't think him speaking out against some criticism is the end of the world either. I'd rather he keep his mouth shut and stay focused, but it really isn't a big deal. If he was out there badmouthing coaches and Henne, that'd be FAR different, but that's not what he's doing.RickyNeverInhaled, jetssuck and eric like this. -
It's almost a relief to me when he says something like this.
This is who he is. You can curb it but you're not going to change it. The way the Dolphins have kept him silent and pent up you almost think he's going to heat to a violent boil and then do something REALLY bad.
This? This is nothing. They dogged the SH-T out of him in that segment. And unnecessarily to boot. They have an entire segment where they point out that you weren't good enough. Sorry, but they all deserve to be criticized for that. Not one of them has coached. None of them are Hall of Famers. A coach probably would have pointed out that after that 30 yard catch and scamper, the Dolphins probably should have given Marshall a blow instead of calling his number again on a 1st & 10 fade pattern.DOLPHAN1, jetssuck, Killerphins and 14 others like this. -
Just silly to put yourself in that situation calling out talking heads - no win situation.
Fine, they said they would like to see more.....Marshall should have known better to grace their opinion with a public one of his own. Not a smart move anyway you slice it. Actions will be the answer, not a one liner comeback.Puka-head likes this. -

I can tell you that he pissed off Denver to the point that they sat their best player in a must win game.
But what I was really alluding to was how he celebrates catches on the field (the jump ball down the middle of the field where he got up laughing and shaking his head was really annoying) and saying things like he just did.
Anyway, as long as a guy performs on the field, it never would stop me from wanting him on my team. He would just be my douche then. :lol:DolfanTom likes this. -
sure you can BDH, in fact some fights should be picked, especially with an outfit that has no great love for the Dolphins anyway.
Now the team can rally around Beast, let him twist in the wind, or just say nothing.
They just watched him dominate a top Defense, that will build team unity. -
Ehhhhhh.......'Don’t complain. Don’t explain.'!!!
actions over battle of wits! -

Maybe it is me, but the Dolphins have been searching for..some flavor, some identity, since the WC was the rage in 08, I like that Beast stood up for himself a bit and hopefully that rubs off on the rest of the team.MikeHoncho and adamprez2003 like this. -

Though knowing Sparano, he will be hitting some tires with sledge hammers this evening and mumbling as he runs the bleachers..:D
He won't say anything to Beast..but he will reach for the alka seltzers..:D -

I really don't have a problem with his comments. Like CK said, this is who he is. None of us are shocked by it. He caught 10 for 166? Hard to say a guy wasn't busting his ***. I'm sure he was tired on the final drive, he admitted so, but it wasn't because of lack of effort.
But yeah, if I'm a New England DB, I probably just **** myself. -
2) A verbal tit-for-tat is pointless all that matters is actions on the field
All this psycho mumbo-jumbo about getting up for the game, showing them what for, etc can be accomplished without a single word spoken. That's my view and always will be. That's what I expected when I played, and as captain, how I led my teammates that I demanded much from. I cant change that approach.
Parcells is once again right on the money....Dont Complain, Dont Explain....PRODUCE and the world is yours. -
I kinda side with both sides. Kinda. :lol: I think they're both right.
But :lol: I love the "none of them were elite players" retort. As if that alone disqualifies an opinion. Tony Sparano or Karl Dorrell weren't elite players. Are they not qualified to critique him?
But since we're checking credentials, Sterling Sharpe was most certainly an elite receiver in this league. Check the resume. 5 Pro Bowls, 3 All-Pro's in seven seasons. Twice led the league in receptions, once in yards and once in TD's. Averaged 14 TD's over his final three. Marshall's stats do not surpass his.
And this is a guy that started 112 straight games before the broken neck ended his career. So he knows all about what it takes to finish games/seasons.
None of this ultimately matters. But the correct response is, "They're entitled to their opinion. It's my job to shut them up."Frumundah Finnatic, Rocky Raccoon, Trackstar and 3 others like this. -
Dan Henning also took a shot.
Looks like the Dolphins are going to be hated on NFL Network! Good for us. -
-
They're media and they're trying to sit on their high thrones and criticize, and even condescend, to an elite player.
Marshall's just saying, sorry son, the door swings both ways. I have every right to criticize you if you're going to criticize me, and quite frankly, none of you are all that impressive.
The one exception is of course Sterling Sharpe who had a fantastic career.
But this isn't Ted Ginn criticizing Sterling Sharpe.
This isn't Kenny Britt.
This is Brandon Marshall, one of the few players who is well on his way and has nearly already accomplished most of the things Sterling accomplished in his career. So he gets to look at him as an EQUAL and say, you...YOU...are going to criticize me?Frumundah Finnatic and Colorado Dolfan like this. -
