This Marshall presser on NFLN is must see

When you say "Big News" during a ultra fast-paced FA period, you're implying it's about a singing.

Don't play dumb.

The timing issue isn't his problem. He said he had big news, and he dropped a pretty big bomb. I won't get into the interaction between subject and object, but you obviously mislead yourself with your own expectations, you weren't mislead.

Treatment is simple. It's not something he'll ever 'recover' from, but a good psychologist can work with him on how to better handle situations. Also, Sparano would be wise to bring in a psychologist to do a quick 30 minute seminar with the coaching staff and offensive players on how to interact with someone with Borderline. I work with several women with Borderline and I've never had an issue with them because I know what not to do when interacting with them. If the Dolphin's staff knew how to do the same, we could look at a Brandon Marshall with significantly less drama. Of course, he is always going to have a volatile relationship with his wife, but we could see much less drama everywhere else in his life...

So what do you have to avoid when interacting with them? I guess you just have to try and be careful as to not upset them in certain ways?

Quoted for truth!
 
There is no way to write this post without coming off as insensitive, so I will apologize in advance and swear that I mean this with all due respect, but it feels like the Dolphins aren't thorough enough in their talent evaluation. The two biggest acquisitions they have made in the last 9 years both suffer (or have suffered) from major mental health disorders. And while their health is obviously 1000x more important than whether I see the Dolphins win on Sundays, isn't there something to be said about that?
 
I had PTSD really bad after my tours in Iraq, and I tried to "man up" for too long. It ate away my insides. I had to swallow my pride, get help and admit my problems.

It's very hard to do, especially when you are raised and taught that a man cannot be vulnerable or seek help for mental issues. It has a very harsh stigma to it.

I'm not BM's biggest fan off the field, but I really hope he overcomes his problems and I applaud him for having the courage to up there on national TV and expose his issues.

I'll be cheering you on Brandon, on and off the field.
 
I will start following Omar on Twitter......Great story, good luck to BMarsh, this may have saved his life......

Everyone was much aware of his behavior but this wasn't diagnosed until he sought help in the last six months.

In the organization's defense, those problems came COMPLETELY out of left field. Who'd have thought Ricky had more problems than just smoking a blunt every now and again? Also, everyone on all the major sports networks thought Marshall was a great player, but is a bit of a troublemaker at times. I'd say it's just a stroke of bad luck. Nothing new, haha.

Lots of talented guys are also "potential trouble." So the fact that a guy is somewhat unstable in one way or another is nothing new. Some of those guys have conditions like Marshall's which are maybe not always so easy to detect. Some are just spoiled athletes. The world these guys live in probably makes it more difficult to distinguish the guys "with problems" from guys who are just "problems."

Best described as walking on eggshells around them. It tends to be specific to each person, but there is a few common thread among all of them. They tend to take negative comments as attacks or criticism, and they absolutely thrive on conflict. The best thing to do is not engage in any sort of 'fight' or argument with him. It would be pretty difficult for coaches since they need to correct bad habits sometimes, and that is a good way to start a conflict, but I'm sure there is a way to do things like that in a positive way...
 
Omar stated the entire team has received training on this disorder.

Wow Henne is a master at handling people with borderline already.

That's what I was thinking. Although, completely ignoring him probably made him think the was being disrespected, so still could have been better. If Ted is right and they got a quick training on how to deal with it, hopefully we'll see Henne have a better rapport with him...
