Are you truly trying to tell me that Brandon Marshall's incidents are not a big distraction and cause of tension for the locker room? Are you genuinely trying to say that they were overblown by the media?
I'm not calling you a homer, I'm calling you blind as a bat.

You're right. Poor BM. He's in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time.
Also we have the rumor that more teammates from past are claiming true, how he threw a punch at old coach Marvin during halftime at their playoff game....google must be broken for you with that though....I've seen in the past how you brought up towel boys in Dolphion lockerrooms, but hey...whatever. Heresay works only in one direction with your arguments. Chads a team guy....he twitters all about how much he is.
First, explain this "towel boys in the lockerrooms" comment, because I'm confused. What are you talking about? I've never claimed to know "towel boys in the Dolphins lockerroom" so, save yourself some trouble and stop making up things.
Second, I don't rely on Chad's tweets to realize he's a great team player. I look at the tweets and reports of others. Look at the tweets from yesterdays practice alone. He was staying after practice to do work with young DBs and WRs, mostly foot work and routes. How many times did we have Brandon Marshall doing that?

Chad @ochocinco worked after practice with Sean Smith and Jonathan Wade on technique stuff.
One of the easiest (ie LAZY) ways of arguing is to immediately accuse your opposing party of something and shift the burden of proof. I learned this within the 1st week of law school and it's incredible how people try to use it in every day discussion. So you shifted the burden on me, asked for links. Links I provided. What did you do?
1) Dismissed the links
2) Claim I was being biased (Which, I was... you asked me for links to Brandon Marshall's incidents, nothing about Chad Johnson. Maybe do your own homework?)
3) Then tell me an absolute hearsay story that has ZERO proof on the internet. Go ahead. Show it to me.
So while you sit there unwilling to budge about your opinion (which is fine, it's just that, your opinion. I have mine, you have yours. How we interpret that information is what makes us different as human beings) you are going to now not only question my intentions but then make up bold faced lies about some sort of inside information I've claimed to have.
Just for reference in case other people I discuss things with want to sit and make up silly facts, I have information from one of several things:
1. Being good friends with an NFL player who started multiple seasons with multiple different teams. (highschool)
2. A friend who works for NFL Network (direct assistant to a high up, actually) (college)
3. Casual acquaintances while working for a D1 college team in Florida.
That's it. No hidden towel boys. No "super secret sources". Not once have I used them to prove anything in regards to Chad Johnson or Brandon Marshall. I post all my links with an explanation every single time. Yet, I find that those who are so quick to go "lol yeah but you're just a homer for Chad Johnson" while having incredibly low self awareness of their own actions... post nothing. Just like you. Just like your argument. Nothing. So please, do me a favor, put some actual effort into your posts. It'll show not only some pride in your argument but actual substance. I want to see some links. Some evidence. Not these blatant exaggerations ("ANOTHER run in with his QB" in reference to Chad, when there was only
one as a result of Carson talking about Chad Johnson and his contract situation. Not exactly team cancer stuff)
Misinformation is something that exists today. I deal with it on a semi daily basis. Having to inform people that have opinions set in stone based on misinterpretation is something I seem to gravitate towards, which is why I'm so willing to type of huge paragraphs on a Dolphins board. I know you've got the thought process up there to do it, so why not?
