ChadJohnson-85 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I thought this deserved it's own thread. Feel free to move it into a current Chris Henry thread if you wish. Anyways... Props to Marshall for representing Henry. Very respectful. I haven't heard about anyone else doing anything like this. Oh well... People like Jay Feely in this NFL just simply don't give an F. I'm not asking every NFL player to where a Chris Henry jersey. But at least show some respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clackwoods Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It is amazing what a couple months can do for a guys image. He is in line for a nice raise, and I saw on the football pregames that people voted him the best WR in the league over Fitz and Andre Johnson.This is a class act for sure. I respect the hell out of him for doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the type of receiver that can make a QB look better than he is. 2 Cases in point, Kyle Orton, and Jay Cutler. Best WR in the NFL????? I say No, but he's top 5. Fitz and Andre Johnson are there, along with Calvin Johnson (who if he had a half-decent QB, would put up insane numbers...Absolute Freak)Anyways, i hope his gesture was sincere, and not just something to get him positive attention (as many people are praising him for it) to turn around his negative perception. This is from his Wikipedia page.Legal troubleAccording to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[48]On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a nightclub in Denver, Colorado, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. The trio was attending a birthday party held for and by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the players were leaving the club in a limousine, Williams was fatally shot in the neck after an unknown assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Willie Clark was later charged with the murder.[49] Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[50]On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[51] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[52]In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[53] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[54] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[55] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[54]According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[56]A September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com stated that the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10 for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. Marshall was booked on March 6, then released the next day after posting a $1,000 cash bond.[57] The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court.[58] On August 14, 2009, a jury in Atlanta found Marshall not guilty.[59]On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell. Marshall was released on a $300 bond.[60] The charges were dropped the following day.[61]Also, let's not forget when he suffered a gash in his forearm cutting an artery, a vein, a nerve, two tendons, and three muscles, while "supposedly" horsing around with his older brother and falling into a TV set...Which to this day i still find hard to believe. They both had their problems, so maybe that is the connection? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 They both went way lower than they should have in the draft due to their off-the-field issues. Brandon Marshall has realized much of his potential though. Slim didn't and now will never have that opportunity. Different style receivers as well of course.
