Watching two former Dolphins last night

[J. David Wannyheimer]

You guys got it all wrong some chick in a club claimed Marshall punched her on the face but no proof was ever found. It wasn't because of domestic violence.

It was a combination of things. The fact that he's borderline insane (and now medicated), history of domestic disputes, history of getting in fights in clubs, history of starting fights that get his teammates killed, fact that he was a total locker room cancer while he was here? Oh and let's not pretend that he didn't have some brutal drops and do stuff like run out of bounds like a drunken sailor while he was here.

He's been great in Chicago, but I don't mind that we got rid of the guy. The problem was that Jeff Ireland's brilliant plan for replacing him was Legedu Naanee and Chad Johnson's corpse.

1. Remind me again why trading Brandon Marshall was a good move for us? I lost count of how many TDs he had

just got done watching a football life Brandon Marshall.

His story.is pretty amazing. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at the end of his stint with us. He was rock bottom at that time. 10 % diagnosed commit suicide. He got help understanding how to deal with it. And since then he has been on the straight and narrow. He struggles with it every day still. He decided to come forward and be spokesperson for the illness.

I hope the Bears make the playoffs this year so Brandon can finally play in a playoff game. Just don't get there at the expense of the dolphins.

They mentioned medication wasn't effective for his disorder. His emotions are on a different time scale than reality. So they trained him to control it and keep them in sync. pretty bizarre.

But you are right, he can snap at any time

I get bashed for beating a dead horse anytime I bring up the horrific, disgraceful Brandon Marshall trade. It really is as bad of a trade as I can think of. Off the top of my head, I really can't think of a worse decision made by a professional sports team recently.

I am not an Ireland defender. I'm glad he is gone. However, Ireland could see that however talented Marshall is on the field, he could get out of control off the field with the repeated bashing of his wife. (Police were called 33 times over the years for domestic violence)
Ireland was probably concerned that he'd end up in jail and that is why he was traded at a discount.
Chicago's great success was in getting Marshall the quality of mental health care that he needed to better manage his disorder. That is where we failed.
Yes, Chicago got a good deal, but if he hadn't got the needed treatment, they could easily have been hosed for getting conned by Ireland.

Some people are just really really stupid.

BM didnt want to be here. He wanted his blankie in chicago. didnt you people watch his NFLN Lifestory? It should be quite obvious.

I actually thought Martin was fine until the 4th quarter, and then it was just a total collapse.

But to be fair to Martin, that entire 49ers team seemed to implode late.

yeah, the entire team threw a collective lunch tray

You got to give props for Brandon for fixing his problem or better managing it. He had bad things happen but did something before his life truly blew up.
