Brandon Marshall says Broncos aren't dirty

[TN05]

Quote

"We're not dirty... When I think of dirty, I think of stepping on somebody's ankle at the bottom of a pile (or) twisting somebody around. Stuff like that. We just play hard, man. We hit hard. We play fast. We play faster than any defense in the league. Just because we hit Cam in the head a couple of times, that doesn't make us dirty. Look at some of the dirty plays in the league. There are a lot of dirty players, and that's not our M.O."

I say fug you. Enjoy your fine.

Jeffrey Dahmer says he's not a cannibal.     Just because he ate pieces of human beings does not mean he's a cannibal.       If you look at some of the more ancient tribes of the world...  they would eat a person,  whole,  and then use the bones as tools.

In related news, Bill Belichick says filming practices isn't cheating.

Remember that time as a kid you got caught breaking some rules in your house and when your parents called you on it you immediately fessed up and took your lumps instead of denying you did it?  Anyone?

I do.

I'm not sure Marshall does.

It's sickening. He's bragging about what they did and they all should be suspended. A fine isn't enough.

Fair.  I'm not defending him / them - that was a dirty game plan that resulted in dirty plays that I'm still fuming over.  I'm more just saying it's not at all surprising that the team doing the dirty things would deny they were dirty. Same as everyone else...not surprised.

First it was Cam is a runner and we have to treat him as a runningback. Next, Cam ducked his head and that lead to the helmet to helmet. Now, we only hit Cam in the head a couple of times.

eric smith of the jets broke anquan boldins jaw on this play a few years ago by launching himself head first at boldins head. Smith was fined $50,000 and suspended one game. 

At minimum, that is what Marshall should receive. The plays are eerily similar only, thankfully, Cam didn't have his jaw broken. 

This was also before the concussion issue was brought into the national spotlight.

My 7 year old daughter was taking a shower last night. Told her to wash her body and whatnot, she calls that she's done so I can come help her wash her hair. I get in there and see that her loofah sponge thing is still hanging up dry. So I call her on it and instead of admitting it, she starts arguing with me saying she really did wash her body. Eventually she changed it to saying she didn't know how -she does- and that she thought I'd be mad she didn't so that's why she lied.

Marshall is acting like my 7 yr old daughter. He's a little girl.

Hey Brandon, stay around the phone because you'll soon be getting a call from the league informing you of your fine. Oh, and Brandon, have you lost any more sponsors lately?

And, one more thing, Brandon. Tell your friends to stay by their phone, too. Calls are coming for them, too.....

The problem is that lying and minimizing the issue doesnt hurt him in any way and might help his case so of course he is going to minimize. What does he have to lose by minimizing and defending himself? 

Like your child lying to you about something.  If they get away with the lie 50% of the time and when they are caught the consequence is the same whether they lie or not, then why wouldnt they lie if they dont have well developed ethics? There has to be a consequence for the lying separate from the offense or it encourages lying since it doesnt cost anything to do it.

 

In Marshall's case he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing what he does.  Until he is found guilty there is absolutely no reason for him to act remorseful before the fine or suspension which assumes guilt and afterwards he intends to appeal it anyway so of course he is going to deny and minimize it.

Well he's acting like a child. Girls don't own that kind of behavior all by themselves :P
