Let's do this. Yeah. I think it's time. Let's get right into this. Oh, boy. We have a show let's do this yeah i think it's time let's get right into this oh boy we have a thick one it's somebody you know yeah it's somebody from your broncos and right now as i look at jimmy i'm wearing a bronco and i stare at his at his chest he's got a very large bronco logo on it so there we go yes you are on brand today for this one he had no idea no but it's perfect brandon marshall oh yes receiver and just um wonderful receiver great receiver and uh she's got some problems brandon

marshall and some of them are mental and some of them are just i think environmental and there's a lot going on here let's just put it that way this is fascinating this guy would be a study in his own because it's a it's like remember like in like an old cartoon or something there'd be like a witch and she'd have a big cauldron like that big black pot and there's that thick like dry ice smoke coming out of it and she's stirring away it's bubbling there's green and shit in there it's all that whatever's happening inside brandon marshall that's picture that money doesn't at all times it's funny but it exacerbates it actually it's an odd thing come on money mo problems well mo silver-haired middle-aged white men yeah mo opportunity to get into trouble is basically what

it is the more fuckery the mo fuckery so with money and with major organizations constantly brushing whatever you do under the carpet because you catch a hundred balls a year this is a different thing athletically that's the boy is he good that this is and we've done it a few times with charles bark well there's been a lot that guys that are stars yeah the stories are way different when it's a star when it's a mediocre guy it's a mediocre guy, it's a lot of zero tolerance and a lot of we don't have this around here. You notice that? Yeah, a lot of talking down to him.

A lot of none of that. This doesn't fly around here. Listen here, young man. This isn't the culture we've built and all that horse shit. A lot of dragging him around by the ear. A lot of that stuff. When it's 100 balls a year, a guy catching him, you go, you know, I mean, there's two sides to every story literally teams he played for a

hundred times say i mean there's two sides to every story so we're gonna see how it plays out we're gonna see how it plays out is the other thing here you know he doesn't have his time in court yet so uh anybody that says there's two sides to every story just called you a liar exactly oh just that's every story i mean hey yeah so brandon tyrone marshall he really uh yes and that is actually a point of some contention because on football reference which is usually very accurate uh they have him listed as brandon markeith uh marshall who is actually another player completely. Well, obviously, that'll come up later. That guy plays defense, right? He played for the Broncos as well.

Very confusing, as you might imagine. Yeah, that's his middle name. With a T-H. Yeah, Keith. Oh, boy. Markeith. Markeith. Yeah.

That's a tough one. That's a tough one. So Brandon Tyrone Marshall, born March 23, 1984. He's had a lot of drama in a short... He's a young man, right? He's only 36 years, man. He's a very young man. I mean, a lot of guys his age are still playing, you know, or whatever.

He played until a couple years ago, but still, he's just so much disaster. He's born in Pittsburgh, actually. Yeah, which I did not know. He's from Pittsburgh, uh they end up moving down to uh georgia and florida i remember when he was a kid that's where he's from that's where he grows up pretty much i mean i don't remember him doing that yeah i remember brandon back then he'd call me from down in florida and tell me hi jimmy i'm in florida it was great remember him being from the south that's what i was trying to say i remember when we packed up the u-haul oh boy it was a

quite the time i moved him i helped him unpack i'll be honest because i knew where he was going you know yeah they had this desk it was very heavy but luckily he's pretty big he picked up the heavy end so he is born in pittsburgh his parents are 21 years old and 19 years old oh so that's always tough i mean that, a lot of us have that. A lot of us are from young parents, so that's fine. 21 is his dad, Freddie Marshall, and his mom, Diane. They were high school sweethearts, and she's 19. And so, yeah, that's what ends up happening,

which that could be a beautiful story if everything works out well. That could be great. Problem is not quite this not quite like that his dad's a bit of a well like i'd say a character yeah but then some shit happens now and then some shit even crazier happens later where you're like i don't think character quite sums it up here oh wow it's interesting we almost had a had like a a marvin gay gay situation going on here it was pretty pretty interesting so freddie marshall here in 1987 when brandon is three years old uh his father is serving a work release jail sentence oh my at that time after oh my god i forgot about this after a conviction for smashing a woman in the face with a beer bottle

okay and so well the woman part that's the part that's what i'm saying he's he publicly smashed a woman in the face with a beer bottle there's a certain character that goes with that so you know what i'm saying certain i don't care you've been in a lot of bars a lot a lot have you thrown out of a lot of them ever was it any of the times you were thrown out was it ever for smashing a woman in the face with a beer bottle that's a lot yeah that's what i mean the i was a bouncer so i've seen a lot of crazy shit like that would be particularly aggressive behavior that we go holy shit that would stand out that would change from your job to the police's job that's what i mean that's a crazy point taking

you to the police we're out of it you're bouncing him to the back of job. That's what I mean. That's a crazy. At that point, taking you to the police. We're out of it. You're bouncing him to the back of a cop car. Exactly. This. Wow. And at this while he's out on work release, though, he marries Diane, his mom, his mom. So they weren't married when they got together and had a kid. But then they got married later and got out to get married.

I'm going to make you an honest woman since you stayed with me after I smashed that woman in the face of the beer bottle. I mean, you know what, though? I guess if you're curious if someone's going to be down for you and if they're really going to be there for you. It's a ride or die. That's your ride or die. Maybe she didn't like the lady either. Maybe he was defending her honor. What did you call my daughter?

He didn't do what I was going to do it, God god damn i had a beer bottle cocked and ready to go he's just faster luckily he stepped in that's why i married him yeah he knew he can he knows my needs he anticipates them that is an impressive moment he felt i wanted a beer bottle smashed on that woman's face and he did it for me sweetheart what a great guy so yeah that's not wonderful so that's april 24th 1987 by november 20th 1987 surprise things aren't going well are you shocked would you imagine this would just be a loving relationship after the beer bottle smash guy are they divorced already i know but she's granted a protection order against freddie why didn't she file records indicate he chased her around with a beer bottle and she knew he meant business

no no literally it's the first of three she'll file against him in the next year my god so he's got a lot of problem yeah he's also has other women that he's been with who according to this one article i think this is vice that had this one this was a chicago tribune uh one article here he had at least six other women who have filed protection orders against him so this is this is what freddie does apparently he's uh he's not a nice guy with the women i guess or he's very nice to him and to a point yeah up to a point on how you look at it yeah to where the bottles start getting empty and then it's not nice anymore so some time goes by here april 17th

1990 three years brandon six years old um freddie files for divorce oh he wants out he wants out he's like listen i've had enough i when i get married there's certain things i need for my wife one of which is a willingness to take an ass kicking now that's just no that's ridiculous so yeah he files for divorce that's hilarious yeah i love when the person who's wrong file is the one filing for this she's she's dealing with him sleeping with at least six other women uh smashing beer bottles on chicks faces she's sticking around for that yeah he wants out he wants out how dare you be so nice you see that a lot too where like a couple people like in real life that you know someone will be like obviously the shit right the shit person in

the relationship and whatever and then they're like oh they go back and oh we're gonna work it out and they're like i'm filing for divorce now. Are you? I've had enough of this great life. Really? And I'm somebody being so amicable about everything. Get out of here. So every relationship has a shit person. They all have a shit person. There's always somebody who's wrong for the most part.

You don't get to file for the divorce. No. I've always said I'm fascinated with the dynamics of couples and that could go for like friends or romantic or whatever it is i'm just fascinated but gender doesn't matter i'm just fascinated by people teaming one-on-one and trying to work something out and the most fascinating to me and that's why dope sick love is one of my favorite documentaries of all time is have we done a dope sick love yeah bonus episode we had to because of that yeah that's right hey you're the best that was the best so dope sick

love is my most fascinating because i for some reason couples where everything's a disaster where clearly the two of them together don't even equal the whole of half a person so together i think they're at least holding each other back they're not they're not driving each other's causes forward at all is what i'm getting at right so i see that when i see like like a drug addict couple or like like a junkie couple like dope sick love where they're going around scamming people and all this type of shit and right and i'm just like that's a couple that's a couple and when you see those people walking down the street yeah you go one of those it's one of your faults yeah it's not

both of you equally one of the ones worse yeah you know you both were junkies but maybe you held together you had an apartment and then one of you went off the deep end and did some crazy shit and you lost your apartment now you're on and you're staying together, walking together. You ever seen like and and and that's what I mean. Have you ever seen a junkie like homeless couple holding hands and you're like, wow, wow. One of you is really, really forgiving and has just decided to go with the flow, man. This is take it forgiving to another level.

You know what I mean? And you just see the other one is being capable of handling that much. And you just try to keep up. That's. Yeah. Well, I guess I'll jam it into my shit, too. And so he. Wow.

She he files for divorce, but they they never finish the divorce. I end up just staying together. So they're still married. Yeah, they're still married and they stay together. They're not even like apart. They don't even like separate. He files for divorce and then they forget all about it. He files for divorce.

He finds out it's like $1,800. He's like, oh, shit. Jesus, that's bad. Just hang on to those papers while I get the money together. Like a layaway divorce. That's what I mean. How long is this going to take? Can I make a payment every Friday?

I've got to put up with him for another year. That's great. So don't worry. He'll file for divorce again in 1995. Oh my. Eventually this is never going to work. They're not going to live happily ever after for what's happened so far. Right.

So September 25th, 1991. Now mind you, like I said, he files for divorce again later on, not her. This woman is, she forgives a lot. September 25th, 1991. Police find 12 balloons of heroin and a calculator in the truck Freddie is driving. Do you have to, is he fucking, he's not good at math, I think. One balloon plus one balloon equals, that's two balloons. I think because he was selling,

he was literally making sure that he got his prices right. Freddie is not. Okay. Now it's bad at numbers. If you're dealing drugs, you have to be able to be quick with numbers. Yeah. Right now.

Yeah. Remember like I'm a wire when they're talking to the kids and the kids are doing their schoolwork and Wallace is asking them school questions. He's like, I don't know. And he's like, all right, suppose this guy gave you a Jeep back and blah, blah, blah.

And then two fiends come up, you get this. And then he hits it, but you give a third one. How many you got left? And he's like, eight. Yeah. How can you do that so fast? You fuck up the count. They fuck you up.

Like, yeah, exactly. You know how to do that shit. But this guy requires a calculator. A calculator. Jimmy, not even like a pad and pencil. A calculator. Two plus one balloon equals. That's three.

That's three balloons. Let me write that. My screen says that. Three balloons. Okay, I wrote that down. Perfect. All the way to 12. Okay.

You know what I mean? Fuck. Unbelievable. So, 93, 94, after the heroin incident, in fourth grade, Brandon is in, Brandon moves to Florida with his dad and his brother, and guess what his brother's name is? Oh, no. Fred Jr., of course, obviously. So, his father, you need to pass this on to somebody.

That guy's proud of himself. This is a legacy you can't just keep to yourself. You know what I mean? What kind of selfish asshole are you, keeping this legacy of greatness to yourself? I got to pass off the balloon legacy. Holy ballsack. What the fuck is happening? Unbelievable.

It's insane. So he moves there. He also, his mother moves to Georgia with his sister. So he goes with his father, him and the two boys boys and then mom and sister moved to georgia how far south in florida do they move oh i'm not sure exactly on that it's gotta be like winter park near orlando okay so it's a bit down there yeah it's mid i guess southern mid-southern i guess yeah it's down it's a drive to georgia it's a drive to georgia exactly there it's not close to the door and then in georgia if you're up in like atlanta that's hours up there it's not you

know damn near the not down by the border is that the is there a beach nearby in atlanta it's close no atlanta's in the middle of the state is it yeah it's just right in the middle of uh of the of georgia no beaches i swore i drove to south carolina from there i may have from georgia yeah no from atlanta from atlanta yeah that's I mean. I said from Georgia. No, from Atlanta. No, not from Georgia. I stopped. I'm like, was I wrong there? No, no. Okay.

Yes, but no. Yes and no. You can drive from Atlanta to South Carolina. Okay. Fucking Sherman did it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Civil War. That's the whole, yeah. That was his path. Yeah. Right to the Z. I think I did the same one. There you go. Pretty sure.

What is this? Sherman Highway? Okay, great. I bet it is. Come on you go. Pretty sure. What is this, Sherman Highway? Okay, great. I bet it is. Come on, Atlanta. Georgia, have some balls. Name the road from fucking Atlanta to South Carolina, the Sherman Highway. Have it end right at the C.

It should be. I don't understand why it's not. Sack up. You lost, so you should fucking have to call it that. I don't get it. Sorry, Seth. I don't know. i don't know what you want so anyway uh he uh goes down there and um he also spent some years with his father in

georgia because his father moved up to georgia too for a time and then he lived with his dad then he lived with his mom for a little while in georgia then his dad moved back down to florida it's kind of unstable um you know his parents are always he's always with his parents so he's not being like you know shunted off onto friends or relatives or something but it's just not that stable but what he does have that stable is athletic skills yeah that shows up early yeah brandon's six foot five 230 pounds when he's full grown and runs like a deer and uh just i mean an athlete that's a world class ridiculous athlete they just don't make those guys there's like it's not even it's not

even just the running and the jumping it's the twisting and he's very chris carter oh he's so good he's so athletic for a big guy like that and uh just in control of his body like this is a there's like you can't even how many of these guys are on earth? There's like 20 in the NFL every year. You know what I mean? That's the best. That's the only ones that are capable. If there was any other ones out there,

they'd be in the NFL making fucking 10 million a year because there's no other place that they can do that, probably. You know, maybe soccer, but if they were 6'5", they wouldn't even be playing soccer. No. None of those guys are 6'5", 230 pounds in soccer. I don't see that, no. Seems like it

would be a disadvantage there's no contact so and the ball's not up and there is some but it's not yeah it's a header but it's on the ground the majority of the ball is playing on the ground it's it's a it's a it's a stoop sport yeah more than it is like a you know designed for me yeah it's not yeah i noticed maybe that's why i never played soccer yeah it's just it's all the way down there i've played a lot i'm closer to the basket on the basketball i Maybe that's why I never played soccer. It's all the way down there. I've played a lot. I'm closer to the basket on the basketball. I think that's what I was going for, maybe. You go high, I'll go low.

Yeah, exactly. Let's get him, Jimmy. Just like the last one. So he's all around moving around. 1998, so he's like 14 years old in high school. He's already an all-state football player you know right away like my 10th grade at lake howell high school in winter park florida which is near orlando also letters in basketball and track and that's just probably all he had time for it right he

could probably do pretty much lettered in anything he felt like sure high school imagine a high school a bunch of just regular high school kids going up against him with with athletic ability with world-class size skill speed ability against the kids in orlando just some kid his dad where his dad's like a low-level executive for disney you know his mom to casey anthony's brother yeah a bunch that guy. Mom works at like a travel agency since it's 1995. You know, that's the kid he's playing against. Yep. Not great. So Marshall letters in basketball and track three times. So from sophomore on, which is pretty impressive.

In football, he plays both offense and defense, obviously. Just plays both ways. When you got that guy, it's like every play, get out there. Don't go sit down. Why would we sit you? Take train get back out yeah please um so yeah he does that plays both he plays safety and he played plays wherever he just dominates wherever he plays he earned all state honors and is named seminole county utility player of the year because he plays everything yeah he's that good of the year of the yeah. He's just a seminal county. The best one.

Yeah, and in Florida, there's a lot of athletes in Florida. There's a lot of towns that are big enough, cities rather, that have leagues. And Florida's one of those places where, I guess if you looked at it sociologically, Florida, California, that's where, and Arizona too now, the last 25, 30 years or so, that's where athletes go. Like pro athletes the last 25 30 years or so that's where athletes go yeah like

pro athletes retire there and move there and go there and then they fucking have kids and their kids are yeah and you have a lot of athletes running around and also the warm weather just breeds and you can always play sports so you get that just breeds skill usually so florida tons of football players and baseball too baseball flor Florida is a hotbed for baseball. That's where all spring training is, too. You can play year-round, so that's why. Northeast baseball is a seasonal game.

Exactly. It's definitely not something you're playing in January. So he plays everything, and he also competed as a jumper in track. So he's that big, and he jumps. So that's athlete as a senior he won the class 3a state triple jump championship triple jump triple jump the fuck is that like dink dink dink and then oh god big thing here landing a personal best jump of 14.81

meters oh meters meters the man can jump 45 feet that's a far holy shit that doesn't seem natural no right how can you what that's not even that's not even a record no 14.8 meters like think think and then you can do this long thing and then all of a sudden you can jump 50 fucking feet what i can jump three times james i'll never get 45 feet jimmy let's go out in the driveway never gonna happen we're gonna stop the show and j Jimmy's going to go out in the driveway and practice his triple jump, and we're going to measure it. 45 fucking feet. See how close to 45 feet he can get.

James, that is three concrete panels on your driveway. That's a lot. Yeah, three of those. Yeah. Lengthwise. That's fucking huge. That's like jumping the distance of what? Like three cars? It's five basketball hoops. That's like jumping like the distance of what, like three cars?

It's five basketball hoops. That's a lot. Yeah, almost five. Laid down on the ground. That's a lot of jumping. And he can fucking almost get to the end of it? Apparently. And then also place ninth in long jump, recording a jump of 6.88 meters in a long jump.

How do you do that? I don't know. That's one jump, James. Oh, triple jump. I think that's three jumps. That's why. I think you do like, maybe the jump, James. Oh, triple jump. I think that's three jumps. That's why. I think you do like maybe the triple, they add up your three jumps because I think it's like a short, a middle, and maybe that's how they do it.

It fucking better be. Like they start when you start jumping. That's a lot of jumping. They start measuring. Why are they doing that? Why? What difference does that make? Why would that?

We need to find out how good you are at that particular skill. It's got to be the third jump is the one that they measure. I guess. It's got to be. I think it's more because his long jump is only 6.88 meters so i mean only only that's a lot but i mean compared to 14.81 okay good point just the two jumps before i don't think would give you an extra 30 feet onto it so i think maybe they record whatever all three still 30 goddamn feet he can jump seems like a lot of jumping that's very very much jumping for a huge man like this too that's what i mean this is not a small person this is a a lot of person coming at you uh as a top competitor in the high jump he cleared

1.98 meters in uh so that's pretty good for uh in the 2002 fhsaa 3A District 7 meet. Almost six feet. Placing second. He can get his ass up in the air six feet. Yeah, I think meters, too, are a little. 1.98 meters would be six feet, right? Yeah, but a little more because there's no meters more than three feet. So he jumps 42 feet in the air, too?

That's a lot. A meter is 39 inches-ish. Okay. That's a shitload. He's also a scholar athlete at the university of florida as central florida as we'll talk about here lake howell high school few there's a few uh uh football players yeah it's i mean orlando that area here uh guy who is i think played up till this year i think uh christian jones played for the uh the bears and the lions

since 2014 uh kavika mitchell remember him yeah uh he played he played here as well played for the Bears and the Lions since 2014. Kavika Mitchell, remember him? Yeah. He played here as well. Played for eight years in the league. Trevor Price, another one. Yeah. Defensive tackle, he played here.

Played for the Broncos. There's been a bunch, yeah. There's been a bunch of guys that have decent careers. Christ, Trevor Price played for 14 years. Is that right? Yeah, 97 to 2010. Wow. That's a long time.

No shit. That's a long goddamn career. I mean, he played for Melway. Yeah. Think about that. 97 to 2010. Wow. That's a long time. No shit. That's a long goddamn career. I mean, he played for Melway. Yeah. Think about that. He sure did. Wow. So fall of 2002, Marshall here.

He begins college at Central Florida. He wanted to go to Florida, not Central Florida, as any football player would. I'm like, you know what? I'm turning the Gators down to go to UCF. That rolls right off the tongue. Turning the Gators down to go to UCF. Everyone, that rolls right off the tongue. But apparently Florida wasn't willing to, Florida wanted him as a safety, not as a receiver. Yeah, he played safety also, which a big giant guy with speed like that sitting back laying in wait is pretty dangerous.

I mean, he would be a great safety, but he didn't want to be a safety. He wants to play offense. So UC ucf told him we don't give a shit what you play just come here please we need a player our team sucks we need more players who had him who uh was dante culpepper did he go there too i don't know i want to say dante culpepper went here really i'm 99 positive i can see that gold helmet with the i don't know anywhere i don't know i need i don't watch college no but i just remember from the draft i think he went there so uh anyway the only other school to recruit him was yukon that's it nobody else recruited him how do you not recruit

the fucking player of the year i don't know if he played at like a school that wasn't have any prominence because in florida there's there's schools that are powerhouses that scouts can just go there and see 10 guys at once i mean maybe if he was the only guy and they never got there how many times have colleges been burned on a guy just because he's six five two that's the thing like he's an athlete so what he's big i don't give a shit i mean shit you would just see a guy that big and that fast you go if i can't work with him who can we work you know like if our coaches can't do shit with him we need to new coaches, basically. We'll find a place for him. Yeah. He'll fit just fine.

So he goes to the University of Central Florida, who has a pretty mediocre program at this point in time. They are 7-5 in 2002 in his first year. He plays in nine games. Only had two receptions, though. So, I mean, he's a freshman. You don't get in the game a lot when you're a freshman. 2003, they are 3-9, the team.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah, the UCF Knights. It gets worse, too. It gets even worse after this. It's not good. He plays in all 12 games this time, has 28 receptions and two touchdowns. So pretty good this time. He's starting to come into his own as a sophomore.

I can't imagine a team that sucks like that in college probably could have a great passing game yeah their offensive line probably sucks giving their quarterback no time right and then on top of that you don't see a lot of great quarterbacks in shit programs like there's a only limited amount of quarterbacks to go around so if you don't have one that's a real great pastor in college you're kind of fucked if you're a receiver as evidenced by uh patrick mahomes going down and who do they have to deal with now chad henney that's your backup that's your back oh jesus the the the quarterback pool today is shallower than it's ever yeah ever it has yeah it's getting shallower it is getting shallow because yeah they're they're weeding the quarterbacks out a lot you have to be a lot of certain things to be a quarterback now so they're not letting a lot of kids learn quarterback skills anymore it's fast real fast it's tough man it's depressing

it's a hard job they make it harder too it's just uh and if you like a team your chances of winning are completely fucked the second that your unbelievable quarterback goes out if you're blessed and lucky enough to have one that's it well quarterback is like if you had a great starting pitcher that you can throw every game yeah that's what that is that's like you know it'd be amazing yeah that's what a rotation you're like oh can't wait to get back up to that guy but i mean if a guy if you could throw bob gibson back in the day all seven games of the world series that'd be great hey And he's fresh every time. You're going to win probably.

That's how it would work. You're going to do all right. Yeah. You're going to have a real good chance of that shit. They should change the league rules in the NFL that every four weeks you have to play a different quarterback. That would be great. You have to play your punter at quarterback. I want to see Chad Enney play a little more.

That's it. Four games per year they can be any four you want anytime any four games your punter has to play quarterback for at least a half that's all one half he has to play he has to play quarterback it's the rules you can't have some wide receiver who played quarterback in high school no no no no we need your punter i want to see a guy that barely has hands yes i mean think about how you'd be choosing your punters at that point way differently so then the punting games would be done the whole game changes at this point jimmy i love this rule that would humble the

patriots and all these teams that have a great quarterback everybody right the fuck up every goddamn team that would really put a a crook at everything and it'd be interesting you're like oh they're starting the punter today so it's a punter game okay cool and they've they've had it's gonna be interesting they've the bucks have had brady start for 12 games guess what the next four games every first half is a punter they'd be interviewing the punter he'd be like well i'm terrified i um i don't throw the ball very well i'm not too fast i don't know if they want me to kick it probably not so um yeah i'm to hand off a lot. It's going to be weird.

Have you talked to the coach? Has he told you the game plan of the next four weeks? He has not said a thing. I don't know. Every time a whistle blows, I'm scared. He doesn't really. Terrified that it's for me. Yeah.

He doesn't really talk to me much, the coach. It's weird. He just kind of says, yeah, do whatever you do over there. I don't know what that is. So I don't know if I'm supposed to. Maybe I'll show up early next week. I don't know. I feel like I should be there.

I want that rule. I want that rule so bad. That'll change the game in a second. It really would. It'd make it so interesting. It would. I want to see him get blown up. Yeah.

What games do you start the punter? You know, you'd have to. It's a lot of strategy. Yeah. Let's see a coach now. Head coaches, you want five million a year? Let's throw a wrench in that shit. There you go. There's a lot of strategy. Yeah. Let's see a coach now. Head coaches, you want $5 million a year? Let's throw a wrench in that shit. There you go.

There you go. Win now. Win now with that, with a punter. So 2004, Central Florida. They are, good God, they are, this is awesome, Jimmy. They're 0-11. How? 0-11.

How did? And ranked in NCAA, you know, 1A, whatever 1a whatever yeah they are there's 120 teams they are ranked 120 of 120 oh my god they are the worst team in division 1a college football every player on that the worst on that team has to be rethinking their choice to join this a we're the worst team and b there's no way any of us are making the NFL with it. The shame. Oh, my. The pure shame this would fucking bring.

How did he even get a look? And the coach here didn't get fired. What? That's how. They brought him back. That's how not a huge. Well, I mean, he didn't get fired in the middle of the season or anything, but that's how forgiving this program is.

So, yeah, not wonderful. And if it could get worse for Central Florida, in the middle of a 0-11 season where you're the worst team in college football, on October 31st, Halloween night, probably the only good player you have, your star player, gets arrested, which is not great.

Brandon gets arrested here. It's his junior year. Oh, Brandon. It's his junior year it's his brandon it's his uh first public dust up he uh he's arrested where at a denny's parking lot in orlando oh jesus oh my god that's how we start this episode with a your first arrest that really says a lot about mapping your life out when your first arrest is in a denny's parking lot in orlando yeah in 2000 in 2004 wow halloween night oh gross halloween in a denny's parking lot that's where you choose to spend your time in orlando oh boy oh boy i guess that's what oh and 11 football teams do that'll do it they just went well denny's parking lot they're the only ones that won't kick us out because we're losers oh my god so um yeah he is on charges of assaulting a police officer

punching a cop which is uh whichever way he did it disorderly conduct trespassing and resisting arrest without violence so he must have done the assault before the arrest apparently or spit on him that's true too uh without violence and refusal to obey uh the charges eventually are dismissed yeah here that's the thing they eventually get dismissed and i think probably a lot of that might have to do with the university of central florida possible i'm not sure i don't know the details there but uh if you don't know when crystal pepsi was discontinued what was in al capone's vault or which famous meteorologist is Lenny Kravitz's second cousin, then you haven't spent enough time on Wikipedia.

How did I know that? I have a crystal ball in my head. It's an all new season. It's streaming. You can say anything. Judy Justice. Only on Freebie. Whatever. He, this year in 2004, another problem of why they might have been 0-11 is they had,

apparently they were so decimated with injuries that they had to have players playing both ways just to fill out the roster to play games because they had such a rash of injuries. Their secondary was so messed up. Brandon played safety for half the year. Holy shit. So it's like our top receiver, he's got to also play safety. We've got a chance of losing him this way.

Yeah, we just don't have anybody else. Holy fuck. So they put him at safety. He makes his first college start at safety on October 4th. And by three weeks from then, he's getting arrested for assaulting a police officer. So I blame defense on that. No assaulting police officers when he was playing offense. The aggression.

The aggression. This was against Buffalo, not the Bills, the college. He recorded four tackles and had a half a sack that day. Okay. And he ends up leading the entire team in tackles in the 2004 season. Your wide receiver. Your wide receiver. That he only played seven games, too, at safety.

So that's fucking incredible. He also receives that year and plays in 10 games he had eight receptions for 84 yards which he's also playing defense so you give him some slack on that and oh and 11 what was the quarter what was the offensive situation i can't imagine like i said a receiver you can be as wide open as the day is long if they nobody can get you the ball it doesn't matter you're really dependent on a lot of people is there even a line or does he just kind of yeah they put it on a tee and the quarterback's got to go pick it up just always always in the shotgun he just catches it and immediately throws it to the first fucking person he sees doesn't even care is he open i

don't know i saw jersey just hot ship gone it's out at least if you're a running back and you get the ball even if you have no line and people are attacking you you have the ball so let's say you're barry sanders back in the day even if the whole line collapsed you'd do this and dance around and you'd end up with 40 yards you could do that right you could do something with it if you're a receiver you just can't ever get the ball if no one can give it to you there's nothing you can do till you get the ball you just go out there and wave your arms around and then jump up and down like they do right here so open that's my favorite when they get frustrated because they don't get the ball hands go through oh they're waving when they're wide open oh god oh jesus look at me holy shit

it doesn't get more you know how hard it is to catch the ball there's always a guy fucking tackling me while i'm doing it finally Finally, it's like playing catch. I never get an open opportunity. I have it right now, and you're not even looking at me. Underhand that shit to me. I'm right. I'm so open. They get like panicked, like, oh, God, it's not going to be here forever, please.

So in 2005, that season, Jesus, come on, Brandon, April 8, 2005. This is before his senior season. six months after the other yeah and he's supposed to be like a an elder statesman of the team at this point you know he's going into the senior year he's supposed to be one of their stars well this isn't very this isn't this doesn't shine very bright no put it that way uh he's charged with retail theft which is not great anyway it's just a misdemeanor but the way he did it is it's more trashy than being arrested in a denny's parking lot in orlando on halloween what did he do more trashy he was at a burlington coat factory hell yeah in orlando if you're not from the u.s by the way if you don't understand what a burlington coat factory is it sounds like i see like a smoke coming out of the smokestack and there's coats

being on like an assembly line people sewing no no it's a it's a terrible second tier not second hand like it's not used shit but it's like shit that hasn't like shit that's been like i guess three years out of date like yeah shit that didn't sell in regular stores and then they send it to this store it's a second whatever store it's been a while since this stuff has been popular yes i've bought plenty of coats at burlington coat factory i have two in my closet that's what i'm saying so i nobody's looking down on burlington coat factory here's some trust me james i uh bought a thing of underwear from there and when i got home and opened it two of the pairs of underwear were not the brand that i bought oh my somebody put them on and put their filthy shit into the package and then like repackage two people did that

so what is wrong with this underwear where they've been returned twice? I was like, these look, what, fruited, no, these aren't what I was,

what happened? And then I pulled out the next pair and they were rained. And I was like, what is happening? In the garbage. In the garbage. Yeah.

But like, I bought like a coat there. We bought like a houseware shit there because it's cheap. Yeah. What the, I'm not, you know, if it's like a, set of pants for like hands for 12 bucks like yeah like a tray thing for serving we had christmas

eve over here and stuff it's cheap what are you gonna do i'm not gonna piss money away this is ridiculous so he on the other hand this i've never done though he goes to the burlington coat factory like i said not looking down on it but this i am looking down on he is arrested after trying to return a set of stolen bed sheets no value that what's the what's the grand prize of this monster scam this caper $19.99 that's that's the end game here that's goal, to get $20 from an illegal source. What a caper. He stole bed sheets and then tried to return them, which is an old scam. That's a dope sick love they would do, that steal a picture frame and then go try to return it.

Home Depot was the big one that kids used to do when I was a kid back in the day. They'd steal shit from Home Depot and bring it back. Because back then, they'd give you cash. They'd give you cash for returns with no receipt. That was their policy. You could just bring back a fucking, you know, a big thing that's not even in the package and be like, here you go. And they just give you cash for it. So it was a great policy.

It was crazy. So think about that. Who thought of that as their policy and was like like there will never be problems with this i mean it would make sense if it was like some like small town in the 40s where it's like all the farmers are on the honor system or something but when there's crackheads you can't in a society in a society with crackheads and you can't have that obviously like it's not gonna work that's an absurd policy i've seen people do that a lot and you know so but this guy he tries it at burlington and uh twenty dollars for a pair of stolen bed sheets

quite embarrassing for the football team as you can imagine but they don't really give a shit uh so this year though the central florida knights maybe they don't give a shit because they're winning yeah they go eight and five wow what a turnaround what has happened same coach what how the fuck did that happen same coach i gotta see if he they gotta have a new player right he took over oh you know what he must have stripped everybody out too and started over because he took over in 2004 went oh and 11 and then the next year so that's like what you know what they did with the cowboys back in the day so got it and start again got it and start again so that makes sense anyway so he after the burlington incident eight and five they actually go to a bowl game really the hawaii bowl really got to go to hawaii which is awesome for a

yeah fucking college kid to get a free trip to hawaii you care about the game no that's just find a beach that just rules man especially well i guess you're from. He's from Orlando. But still, Hawaii beaches compared to Orlando, compared to Florida beaches, that's a different. It's a different beach. Wow. Smells nice. That is a different world. Florida and Orlando is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing one.

You can't even compare the two of those places. Hawaii and Orlando. What did I say, Florida? Florida and Orlando. Hawaii and Orlando, or Hawaii and anywhere in Florida. Right. Not even close. Sorry.

Hawaii and Florida entirely just, it's not just the beach, it's the water. Yeah. The water creates an entirely different environment. One's a volcano and one's a swamp. Right. So that tells you exactly, they were created different ways. So there you go there are no gators in hawaii that's what i'm saying yeah maybe there are i don't know i don't think

there's no no there's no southern lifestyle there you know there's hippos in columbia stop i just read this columbia i could see that what uh well it's not they're not native really i read this i was reading the story about how uh wait that's south america yeah they're called cocaine hippos. Okay. They're not on cocaine. They're the hippos that Pablo Escobar brought in when he had his private zoo. Wow.

He had a bunch of animals, and when they busted him and took over all his shit, they... Let him free? No, they put a lot of animals in zoos or whatever, but four of the hippos, they just let go in this pond. They couldn't get them, so they were just like, let them live in this pond. And they've apparently, because there's no natural predators or anything, they dominate. So they've been reproducing. Holy shit.

So now there's signs up where like beware of hippos because they're fucking aggressive and dangerous. They're so mean. They're really mean. They will eat people. Oh, yeah, they do it. And I think in Africa they are the number one animal that will kill you. They kill the most people of any animal hippos. Yeah, they're dangerous. So they have to like put the town like embraces it pablo likes the post he liked it was

a zoo so they have like but that town sells all all their shit is like hippo bullshit like hippo memorabilia that's the town that has hippos so that's the people tourists go there to try not to get eaten by hippos i love that at the beginning of the story you're like they got they got them in south america no well yeah of course they do yeah obviously no dummy let me tell you something he had him i think they have him other place he had him brought in from fuck i can't africa somewhere right that's where they're from right yeah but i'm trying to remember exactly where uh that doesn't matter but anyway yeah africa is where he brought him from so hawaii ball they're playing nevada in the the Hawaii Bowl. They lose 49 to 48.

Oh, close. Fun game. That sounds like a fun game. The difference was a missed extra point for Central Florida. So missed extra point kills it. It's Marshall's best game of his anything. He had 11 catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns. That'll get you in the nfl

and he was named mvp of the game so it's literally the performance of his fucking life and that's all he needed right at the right time here incredible great time uh he had that year he played in 13 games including the bowl 74 catches 1200 1195 yards and 11 touchdowns. So now he's a star here. The 2006 draft at the Combine, he is, Jesus Christ, he is 229 pounds. Big son of a bitch. 40-yard dash of 4.52. Think about that. 6'5", 230 pounds, 4.52.

That is ridiculous. That size guy? That's scary. that's a scary kind of uh kind of guy 37 inch vertical jump for a big guy like that and uh 120 i don't know what that means 120 on the broad jump okay i don't know so that year uh let's see 2006 draft number one pick 2006 yeah it's a quarterback it is not no it's not it's a wide receiver it is not it's not it's a running back it is not who's the lineman mario williams oh yeah yeah defensive end uh also number two reggie bush and remember the the big debate who do you want reggie bush or vince young oh my at least bush stayed in the league for a while here. Yeah, but Vince Young didn't really do much either. No, I mean, he had a couple of good...

He had something here and there, but then he just couldn't put it together. And again, he was playing in Tennessee where you don't really get... I mean, very... It was a tough time. It's brutal to be in Tennessee. Yeah, it is. So, fourth overall, my favorite name of all time, DeBrickashaw Ferguson. Yes, to the jets to the

jets yeah to brick a shot i'll never forget where he went because of that name because his name is to brick a shot right ferguson ferguson that's a great name if he needed a name with extra syllables couldn't his last name just be like shaw or jones or something yeah but good point to brick a shot johnson the brick of shaw smith jones would be a good point. DeBricka Shaw Johnson. DeBricka Shaw Smith would be fine. Jones. Anything. But several fucking more syllables. He might as well be DeBricka Shaw Petrogallo at this point.

It's that rough. There are another three in there. That is a lot. That's a lot. Poor bastard. He's like to his parents like really? You named me DeBricka Shaw? With an apostrophe in this motherfucker too? God damn it. My name doesn't fit in anything standardized testing it isn't fitting aj hawk vernon davis the tight end there so uh some good but matt liner jesus no shit cardinals on the 10 overall matt liner oh what a depressing pick and the pick after him was jay cutler to the

broncos yeah so cutler say what you will, much better career than Matt Leinart. So the Cardinals would have been better off to probably have taken Cutler at that point. But no. I think because they had somebody. Didn't they have Kurt Warner at that point? No, he was gone at that point. Did they have anybody? Denver had Jake Plummer at that time.

They had Jake Plummer, yeah. And they picked up Cutler, and that is why Jake Plummer left the league. He was like, you didn't even tell me? What the fuck? Yeah, well, he stinks, so that's what he gets. He went to the fucking AFC Championship the year before. Yeah, yeah. And that's kind of a kick in the dick.

With his fluttering wounded duck passes. I loved that season. Fuck, he was terrible. 13-3, James. He's the worst. It was impressive. He's so lousy, though. I'll be terrible for three quarters, and then when they play prevent defense,

I'll throw wounded ducks all over the field to boost my stats up. That's what he did in Arizona for fucking ever. I hate that guy. And he's a fucking creepo. He is. Creep fucking. Treats women like shit. Yeah, he's a dick.

Before he was even in the league. So you look at this draft, though. There's some good players, but nobody real spectacular jumps out at you. They don't – it's not until, what is it, the fourth round, we see Brandon Marshall getting a sniff here. Yes, the fourth round, which seems late. That's deep as shit. That is Denver pick 119 in the fourth round, right after the Patriots.

The pick after the Patriots took a kicker, Steven Gostkowski, who's still around. But that's crazy. Yeah, that's where he's in. He's in kicker territory. So that tells you a lot. You know what, though? But he signed. He went to Central Florida, the team that was 0-11,

and now he had a huge bowl game, and now he's in a fourth-round pick. Fourth-round pick, but they think they stole him in the fourth round like they think he's a he's a higher talent than that he's just played at a small school and they're sneaking him in there so denver's you know i agree with that smart scouting it's good shit grace let's go with grace right now for him yeah uh career-wise it'll get good for him but life-wise it's grace it's a grace as far as that goes because the draft is in what april it is 2006 well by june he's already what fucking going off the rails he hasn't even got to training camp yet and he's already having legal problems this is uh well should i read the police report i guess might as well you know what let's just read the police report shall we we'll go right from that since we have that in front of us here i think it was uh vice uh had an article that had police report links and i'm like oh my

shitload of police reports so this is uh well quote on 6 2006 at approximately 2 000 or what is it 20 000 hours 2 000 hours 20 000 that is jesus christ at 20 he said he says yeah two oh that's three that's too many 200 2000 he says yeah that's what they call oh 200 right there's no oh 200 yeah why would you be 200 because they're oh 700 wait wait no oh wait yeah 20 above 10 and then it's a thousand after that if you had 20 hundreds but 1900 hours is 1900 right and 200 hours right 20 hundred yeah that's 8 p.m isn't it 20 hundred what don't they say that or two thousand today they don't say two thousand hours right 20 would be 10 p.m wouldn't it no 2200 is 10 p.m how do you figure because that's two hours. Oh, it'd be 10 hours past. That's going to be eight hours. Yeah. I think military time is 20, oh, 20, 100.

So it's 8 p.m. It's 8 p.m. It's definitely 8 p.m. Let's just call it 8 p.m. I was dispatched. I dispatched a battery over with a call. I contacted Rashida Watley, who is his girlfriend, Brandon's girlfriend, not the cop's girlfriend, via phone due to her being in georgia

whatley advised her boyfriend brandon marshall and his sister london marshall had hit her okay okay now uh she said on 6 17 06 that's when this all went down june 17th which is interesting at approximately oh 3 30 which is uh three o'clock in the morning you bet it is three thirty in the morning she and brandon were together at the apartment they share in florida wally says that she was preparing to return to her home in georgia and brandon was preparing to leave for denver where he works right obviously as a bronco wally advised she and brandon began to verbally argue which quickly escalated to a physical fight wally advised she and brand began to verbally argue, which quickly escalated to a physical fight. Watley advised she and Brandon were mutually pushing each other at first. She advised Brandon later slapped her in the face.

That's not funny, but I don't know. At first is a weird way to put it for me for some reason. Brandon later slapped her in the face, pushed her to the ground, and grabbed her by the arms. Watley advised this behavior went on for several hours as she was trying to pack her belongings wait several hours she's leaving his place and he's just beating her up while she does it she's packing several hours so she's like

put a shirt in the thing and then he shoves her to the floor and then she puts a pair of pants away like what the hell is happening kind of psychopath is doing that several hours why did it take so long for her to call the cops too this goes on a lot well he didn't call she didn't call the cops till she got out of there right she didn't call the cops till three days later oh so yeah and told him about this once she got to georgia which is this is correct why would you do this to somebody for hours wally advised she exited the apartment several times attempting to call for help however none of the neighbors would help her well that's not bad that's not nice wally advised her cell phone was broken earlier in the day and she had no way to contact the police okay well that's that's a rough thing

she also said that uh things subsided for a few hours until london threw a phone at her that's his sister uh threw a phone at her which hit her in the forehead ouch jesus what is happening in his house yeah i guess or back then it's 2006 it might have been a fucking landline could have been one of those like uh cordless house phones right that everybody had back then those like v-tech cordless house phones that's probably what it was i think sands the accordion uh antenna remember yeah Exactly. You jam it in your chest every time you hang up. Every time. Yeah, no, then you just got the little nub.

Yeah. The little rubber nub. You go to accordion it and stab yourself in the chest. Jesus, I think I got between a rib there. Goddamn accordion. I punctured a lung. Created a habit that's now dangerous. Yeah.

Thanks. Thanks, cell phones. So she said it hit her in the forehead, cutting her above the left eye. Damn it. Holy shit. Watley advised London also punched her in the face, giving her a black eye. Good Lord. What is happening?

What does he bring his sister over to rough her up? This is unbelievable. She had a fucking hit man. Watley advised that she has pictures of her injuries. She advised she sustained bru has pictures of her injuries. She advised she sustained bruises all over her body, I assume from the hours long pushing and shoving and throwing down. She advised that she had no way to contact law enforcement prior to leaving the state. She tried at least 20 times to call when she returned home, but kept getting the runaround and wrong numbers.

Why don't you call 911? Yeah. I don't know if you can call 9-1-1 for something that happened three days ago you can ask for to be transferred or connected i don't know the number call information i don't know if you want to call 9-1-1 yeah i don't be like hey how's it going um yeah the number can you give me the numbers it's an emergency well it was an emergency three days ago does that count i mean i don't know though that's you call somebody it was an emergency therefore still is an emergency three days ago does that count i mean i don't know though that's you call somebody it was an emergency therefore still is an emergency i guess yeah she also advised that she and brandon have lived together and been dating for approximately eight months eight months and she also says she does not wish to press charges okay which is crazy what are you talking about press charges man um she uh was unable to provide any information against on about london other than uh her date of

together eyes himself uh nine and seven under shanahan that is uh jake plumber quarterback and cutler backing him up there obviously as well as well. And this is the Tatum Bell running back era there. Yeah, Javon Walker they had at that point. Oh, that motherfucker. Rod Smith is still around. Unbelievable. Jason Elam. Yeah.

These are better times. Yeah. There's a guy named Chad Mustard. So you got him. And we reminisce of winning the Super Bowl. Yeah. Five years removed from it just still still got the same coach there he is there's our guy hey tussle his hair hey guy with

two rings also nate jackson who uh had that cool good book yeah actually really good entertaining book nate jackson's book kind of a day in the life over and over again and very yeah very very honest about injuries and concussions and uh funny though he's actually got a sense of humor it's not just like a meathead book he's kind of a meathead but he's like hey i'm a meathead i know i'm a meathead so i'm gonna i'm not gonna try to be like you know fucking profound or anything i'm trying to be something i'm not no i'm gonna be funny because i'm kind of a that kind of guy so it's it's kind of interesting good read actually somebody is themselves he plays in 15 games starts one that year he catches 20 passes for 309 yards so i mean you know it's a good start

two touchdowns so he's a rookie i mean you got to work him into the whole deal here now january 1st 2007 at the end of this season that's when there's some problems here um as you may or may not remember this is the evening that uh darren williams was shot and killed the denver bronco apparently everybody was out together a lot of guys on the team were out partying together and um uh apparently there's a guy named will uh willie e clark he's the the shooter eventually here marshall our guy brandon marshall and marshall's cousin were hanging out and they were involved in an altercation with this willie e harris the eventual shooter this is outside of a downtown denver nightclub uh with the well this is amazing uh willie e clark and his buddy this was a two-on-two altercation his buddy daniel

ponytail harris old ponytail old ponytail i ain't taking no shit from a man named ponytail i'll tell you that much as a brandon marshall said i'll tell you another thing anytime there's a ponytail involved it better be on a woman or else you're having a bad night it's gonna be a rough night and dudes are not positive daniel ponytail harris that is great so willie and ponytail are fighting yeah with brandon his cousin me and my cousin were fighting willie and ponytail man and fuck that so uh they got in the fight i guess apparently that was the their fight got broken up and shit so there that was the whole crux of everything so it's at that point where uh clark uh and ponytail willie e and i assume ponytail i'm not sure if he was i'm not sure if ponytail was present for this part of it okay followed a limousine because all the broncos players there was several limousines that they got into.

They were all from the same company and probably identical. Yeah. So they this Willie Clark followed this limousine that he thought Brandon Marshall and his cousin were in and fired at least 15 shots into this limousine. Oh, my God. Full of people. Obviously, this is the players and their friends and whoever else. Fifteen shots that eventually hit and killed Darren Williams, who had nothing to fucking do with this.

He didn't even know who Ponytail was. He had no idea Willie Clark. He wasn't involved. He was over on the other side of something. And I think he just came off a really great game. I think he did, too. So Marshall and his cousin were in another limo so that whole thing stemmed from that was supposed to be brandon marshall unbelievable yeah so he was the one who

was getting shot at but just happened to be wasn't in the truck he wasn't in that limo i mean it's like missing a plane on 9-11 that's what i mean he just wrong limo and you bastard and darren williams gets killed for it i feel bad for darren williams who was shooting at us and why i don't even i did nothing to fucking deserve this so that's how it worked eventually though clark will be convicted and serve a life sentence for it okay we'll talk about brandon's gonna testify at the trial and really he's got it yeah he's the he's the reason that the whole thing happened so they have to he has to identify that that that beef led to this led to this and then the shooting he better feel like a piece of shit still today for that i hope he feels guilty for that i mean i don't know if he should feel guilty i don't want

him to torture forever but it's not his fault certainly own up to the responsibility we don't know suppose ponytail and clark were assholes and him and his cousin were like hey fuck you man get the fuck away from me blah blah blah and then these guys just took it to another level and, you know, hopped up. They could have been. That sounds like some shit you do when you're coked out. Go up and shoot up the wrong limo. You know what I mean? Like, so maybe Brandon had nothing to do with it.

But I would still feel guilty if I knew shots were intended for me and killed an innocent person. A guy that I squabbled with earlier in the night shot my teammate. Yeah. Even though it's not really his responsibility. No, it's not his really his responsibility but he certainly shoulders some burden in that he definitely does up so three weeks later a little over three weeks january 24th 2007 you think brandon if i'm brandon i'm not going out for a while oh i'm never going out again i'm staying home i'm gonna be a home guy now we're all party

at my house i drink at home that's what i mean these guys have money big houses right let's go to somebody's house you have beautiful setups you have all the music just play hire guys to serve you drinks and yeah pretend it's a bar i bet it's cheaper yeah it would be cheaper to have your own nightclub for a night probably than to go out and fucking do champagne and all that shit so january 27 2007 police are going to interview marshall after he and his father have an altercation in an orlando parking lot oh freddie wants to box no that would be much better as a matter of fact that would be something reasonable uh this by the way is is there okay i'm gonna ask you something, quickly. What is worse than a bowling alley parking lot to have an altercation in? Nothing.

No. That's the answer. You're right. Denny's is better than a bowling alley parking lot. That's where he is. They're fighting at the bowling alley. At a bowling alley in Orlando. Oh, my.

That's where they have here. Brandon and Freddie were arguing over money. Okay. Okay, Freddie wants money apparently so what he does is what freddie does to make his point is he gets into his car and tries to run brandon over in the bowling alley parking lot are you serious yeah which is good practice from getting away from defenders i will say if you can dodge a lincoln continental coming at you at 40 you could probably get out of a the way of a of a free safety

so i'll give you that but uh he tries to run him over when police get on the scene rather than deny it freddie is like i'll run that motherfucker over he's yelling and screaming he says quote that he will quote ruin brandon's professional football career oh i tried to cripple him that's right he won't give me money i'll ruin his fucking career everybody's trying to kill him Brandon's professional football career. Oh, I tried to cripple him. That's right. He won't give me money. I'll ruin his fucking career. Everybody's trying to kill him. Dude, in three weeks, he's had ponytail and his dad tried to fucking murder him.

This is crazy. He's dodging bullets and a car and cars driven by his father trying to Marvin Gaye his ass. This is crazy shit, dude. His life just spins out of control. I can't imagine. It's nuts. He's in the middle of everything. How is this not? I mean, obviously, they talked about Darren Williams a lot because that was a murder.

Yeah. But they talked nothing about his other exploits, James. I've never heard this before. That's what I mean. It gets funnier this this confrontation once the cops get there and everything like that um they neither of them chose to press charges but they both had a story about the other one marshall claims that he tried to run him over several times with his car as he ran away and his father claims that he did that because marshall

shot a gun at him his son okay so he said brandon well he shot a gun at him, his son. So he said, Brandon, well, he shot a gun at me, so I tried to run him over. And he's like, I fucking. What? It's a bowling alley parking lot. Why are either of you there? Go argue inside like civilized people. What are you doing? Go in the bowling alley and argue.

Don't argue in the parking lot of a bar. I'm sorry. Go to a bowling alley and argue where it belongs. Can we class this up a little and go to Denny's? Because I feel this is just trashy. Yeah. Like if we were at Denny's, this would be better. So what a disaster.

So two months later. Taylor Swift is soaring high. Her every move captured in the news cycle and devoured by her devoted fans. She's broken billboard records and made Grammys history, not to mention becoming a billionaire in the process. But along the way, Taylor has had to wage war, first by taking on a very powerful, very famous manager, Scooter Braun, and then by going up against the biggest live events company, Ticketmaster. Hi, I'm David Brown, the host of Wondery's show, Business Wars. We go deep into some of the biggest corporate rivalries of all time.

And in our latest season, Taylor Swift will shake up not only the music business, but Hollywood and the NFL. Follow Business Wars wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. Not even. March 18, 2007. We got a problem here. We have another incident here with Brandon and his girlfriend. So this is another purse thing here. I don't understand. Watley, who's his girlfriend, Rashida Watley, she told Atlanta police that Brandon.

Same girl? Same girl. They stay together. Oh, they stay together. Oh, boy. They'll stay together for a while. Oh, yeah. This is, it's interesting. Then he finds another girl and you're together. Oh, boy. They'll stay together for a while. Oh, yeah.

It's interesting. Then he finds another girl, and you're like, oh, good, and it's worse. So she says that he punched her and took her purse. Yeah. So he left before police arrived, so no charges are filed. They never find him. So I have the police report, though. Let's find out some details. Oh, boy.

March 18, 2007, i was dispatched to 210 peach tree street northwest which is basically every street in atlanta yeah we had the misfortune last time we were in atlanta of going literally to the wrong hotel because the same chain of hotel had multiple locations that were all on different peach trees peach tree drive peach tree lane peach tree this everything is fucking peach tree so we literally tried to check in waited in line for 20 minutes and like we don't have a reservation we said hold on

is this we're on peach tree right and they went yeah but there's like 12 other peach trees maybe you and we were wrong so welcome to george welcome to george everybody so fucking place some sherman highway make it easy yeah so uh she uh um wow uh on a dispute call i was met by the victims by the victim rashida watley who stated that her ex-boyfriend now okay brandon marshall

hit her with a closed fist repeatedly oh my that's a lot that's um you can punch a woman in the face you probably call her dude you know what i mean that is in like in like arguments i don't know what you're talking about dude like guys that call their girlfriend dude will absolutely punch them that's i'm sure of that they do yeah that's one thing i'm absolutely certain this is gross repeatedly ugly she stated that she met marshall in room 1812 at the Westin Hotel. That's exactly where we were fucking staying. It's the Westin. I don't know if it's the one we ended up staying in or the other Peachtree where we didn't

have a reservation. I'm not sure. If it's the one by that good steakhouse, then it's there. By the mall. If it's the one by the mall, whatever mall that is and it's the one i stayed at which was a very there was crazy shit going on in the parking lot there like the west end yeah at like four in the morning i go down to smoke some weed and just chill out before i'm gonna go to bed i was working and shit and there's just like there's like partying happening like in

the part and like the outside the lobby i was like what's going on down here shit was wild hung out for a minute. I was staying wherever whoever was playing the Falcons were staying. And that shit was madness and they lost. Yeah, this had nothing to do with football. These were just people that were partying. I was blown away

with how happy they were. And they lost. And they lost. See, afterwards. I guess when you're rich, it doesn't matter. They're like, hey, we're rich. Hey, we got paid still. Yay. They don't care.

Meanwhile, we're miserable sitting there. Look at you. We didn't even have to pay for these hotels. Mine had nothing to do with football. It was just a bunch of lunatics partying. Me smoking weed with a bunch of black dudes at four in the morning. I guess we're right. This is a party.

All right, whatever. Yeah, I don't care. So yeah, a bunch of dudes, they smelled weed. They oh hey friend we were pals for the next hour hey i know you so yeah you looked at him but you smell the same and i have more on me so a couple joints in my pocket this way let's get it on so uh repeatedly closed fist at the westin hotel at oh 4 30 so 4 30 in the morning. This happens again. Whatley stated that Marshall became enraged when he looked through her cell phone's call list and observed that she had been talking with another ex-boyfriend. Ew.

Got mad. Why is he doing that? Why is he doing that? And then punching her. Yeah, this is a certain personality type here. You're looking for a fight, man. Looking through the call list, I would say. Awful. type you're looking for a fight man looking through the call list i would say awful he uh she stated that marshall grabbed her by the arms while using force and intimidation she stated that

marshall struck her in the face with a closed fist which resulted in a large dark colored bruise to her chin she refused medical treatment at the scene she stated while attempting to leave the valet parked her vehicle and marshall entered the vehicle while taking her black fendi purse oh that must have been the police from now the fendi or another fendi purse valued at 1500 wally stated that her purse contained oh no that was the report from here driver's license and birth certificate now it makes sense all right i just had the wrong yeah the wrong piece of a of an arrest report i mixed it up the dates so uh yeah so he took her birth certificate while speaking with wally she received a text message on her cell phone from marshall stating that quote

i'm watching you why did you call the police what whoa that's horrible that's horrifying she's with a cop and he told her i'm watching you why you call the police? Because you punched me in the face repeatedly with a closed fist. Remember? Fuck that. Later, I observed Marshall standing in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel located at 160 Spring Street Northwest across the street at 210 Peachtree Northwest. I advised dispatch to start another unit for assistance and gave a description of Marshall on Atlanta Police Radio.

Marshall was observed by an off-duty unit exiting out of the rear of one 60 spring street, traveling southbound from that location, other units and myself conducting a canvas of the immediate area, uh, but failed to locate Marshall. Whatley was given her case number and advised to take out a Fulton County warrant on Marshall for his arrest. She stated that Marshall is employed by the Denver Broncos of the National Football League and resides in the state of Colorado. She stated the blah, blah, blah address and all that shit. So that's what happened. Wow.

He took off and that's how it works. What a situation. No charges are ever filed because he took off. They didn't catch him and they somehow left it up. You should file a thing for how about you guys go catch him now. What do you do? I told you that a man just punched me in the face repeatedly and then I'm supposed to do the follow up on this fucking shit places. How about you have that information?

Now go arrest this fucking guy or go try to do it. Disperse that to those who need to know that that's in the police. That's typed, man. That's that's a it's not a copy. This is a picture of the police report. So that's is that how Georgia does it? That's real. That's not like she said.

They said that. That's what the cop said. This is fucking insane. I can't imagine that. That's how they handled domestic. They can't handle domestic that way today. This is 2007. I mean, I would think by then it'd be be better but i would hope by now it would be definitely not like that that's fucking insanity man so anyway uh that

is uh what date was that march 18th 2001 uh march 21st 2007 march 21st 2007, police in Palm Beach County, Florida, interview Marshall and Watley twice in one night after two loud arguments. Three days later, they're together again and in Florida arguing again to where cops have to come twice. Twice. Hey, keep it down. Remember the cops were just here? Nobody says that. Okay. So twice in one night, both said the incidents were not physical no arrests were made so they just are bothering

the other people five days later march 26 2007 no uh highlands ranch colorado oh they went back home he's doing a tour yeah this is like when we're on the road right except we don't get arrested in every city we go to beat her ass in every city in america goddamn city we fucking have what is happening guess what it's about yeah it's about a fight with watley again this is highlands ranch colorado on a charge of domestic violence this time he is actually arrested finally for the for it now. I guess Colorado takes it a little more seriously. And false imprisonment. After another argument with Watley, he hired an attorney named Harvey Steinberg to defend him. And they ended up dropping the charges two months later because she wouldn't cooperate with the investigation.

Because they're together still. Yeah, and this relationship is volatile. Volatile doesn't even... Oh oh my god whatever this stew is here and it's obviously he's a large person he can't lay his hands on anybody nobody and woman shouldn't nobody should be touching anybody no nobody should ever lay their hands on anybody physically violent way what are we doing no that is crazy no hand should be laid down these two though even if there's no hands being laid down obviously that they don't they're not getting along right clearly if you if the cops come twice in one night yeah you're not you're not compatible let's just say

i mean do you need a fucking panel of experts to tell you maybe we're not compatible yeah i sometimes you know the first time that the cops are called and it's an altercation between two adults it might just be a misunderstanding i don't know even if it is break up don't be don't stay together and chance a second one i mean you could have been arguing about no no i'm not you could have been arguing about a tv show that had nothing to do with it somebody just you're out of your mind somebody could hear a loud voice and call cops because they're extra sensitive to that or something i'm afraid of whatever and somebody might just be loud right you know what i mean i have a loud voice you might think i'm mad sometimes when i'm just fucking loud you might call the cops you'd be breaking up a lot you show up and go yeah

what are you talking about yeah no we're fine no i just said that the food was great we were literally we were literally arguing about who was a better quarterback like this is not going to turn violent we weren't even arguing i was complimenting the meatballs i was happy but the second time yeah but then after that you go oh yeah the cops but no you're out of control that's why you didn't care unbelievable wow i can't imagine being talking to the cops twice in the same oh with the same part that We have an issue. So, June 8th, 2007. This is a couple months later now. We're not too far off here. This is ridiculous.

It's so much. How many times does he talk to police? Two incident reports are filed by Atlanta police in one night on this occasion. Again. As well. The first was to, this is a crazy night, was to investigate damage to private property when Watley's friend alleged that Brandon Marshall hit her car in which Watley was a

passenger, then threw rocks at it. Okay. He punched the car. He hit her car and then he threw rocks at the passenger door where Watley was sitting. Okay. Rocks. Yeah. Rocks, Jimmy.

Because he's an adult. Because he's an adult. Because he's an adult. Right. So he threw rocks at a car. I don't like Rashida. Just throwing rocks at the- Bitch. Fucking-

Throwing them at the door. Insane. Unbelievable. In the other police report, because that was only incident one, Watley told police that Marshall had cut her in the thigh and punched her in the face. She's taken by ambulance to a local hospital and no charges are filed. Cut her with what? Let's get into it.

Okay. I have police reports. So we can. Yeah, there's a bloody. There's a bloody wound. There's a. Oh, my God. It's a disaster.

So here's the first one here at 0500 hours, by the way. So five in the morning, obviously. Goddamn a.m. Goddamn a.m. Never good. And not up early to fight. No, this isn't like Brandon's got a sweatsuit on about to go for a job. And they, you know, they're arguing over his protein shake.

He's percolating. No, no, no, no, no. This is there's still like glasses tipped over from the night before. He tripped over an empty to do this that's what i mean well later on he wow the tripped over is even better he's got the best excuse ever later so oh 500 hours dispatched to uh information on a fight call and uh whatever i won't give the address here i spoke with mrs miss rashida watley who had a cut on her right thigh at that time the bleeding had already stopped but the mark was still visible on her leg.

I asked Miss Watley how she got the cut on her leg, and we'll get into that in a second. So she says she accidentally cut herself with a kitchen knife. That's what she says. I also asked Miss Watley if she had been in a physical altercation with anyone at the location, and she stated that she was arguing with her ex-boyfriend. You know what? You guys are together all the time. it's not your ex-boyfriend at that point you're still together or he's stalking you one of the two or you're looking for trouble every day one of the three but either way physical i don't think physical trouble jesus uh mr marshall was not at

the location at this time i advised ms whatley that she should get medical attention numerous times but she refused stating that she had gone to school and was trained in first aid. Okay, sure. Ms. Watley did not answer any questions regarding the dispute between herself and Mr. Marshall, and at that time it appeared as though no abuse had occurred. 0607 hours, very specific, I was dispatched to the same location, and now Ms. Watley was stating that Mr. Marshall had come back to the location, and

that he, in fact, had cut her in the right thigh earlier, and he had also punched her in the forehead. Wow. Jesus Christ. Ms. Watley was now requesting medical attention, and there. So, the cop came, think about this, the cop came at, what did we we say five o'clock in the

morning yeah came took a report that's going to take 20 minutes whatever he's there for 30 45 he left by 607 brandon brandon had been back yeah had another fight and punched her in the forehead he watched the cop leave that's what i had to right he had to know exactly when he was gone it's an hour and seven minutes between the when the cop arrived and when he is fucking called back he had to pass the cop going up the driveway yeah he had to like sit and watch from somewhere or something but and then he punched her in the forehead and now she's like all right fine he's the one who cut me and he punched me in the forehead so yeah bloody wound the whole thing um it's jesus could you imagine this shit so that same day separate incident yeah okay so that's two police reports from the morning we got more oh boy more yeah it's that's 6 a.m and you've already had two police reports that's a full day

call it a day it's a couple years worth of police reports too many yeah you know that's a full day. Call it a day. That's a couple of years worth of police reports. Too many. Yeah. You know, that's a lot. I have no police reports about me. I don't have two in an hour and seven minutes. That's insanity. So, yeah, this is crazy. This is a woman stating that her vehicle was hit from behind by Marshall. She's having a problem with fucking up women's vehicles. This is damage to her rear bumper cover.

Oh, boy. I was dispatched. this is 0610 holy shit three minutes later yeah i was dispatched to damage property calls this is another cop so he left here 607 pulled out and went and hit a woman think about that we just said the timeline rear-ended her cut her with the knife yep went out in the parking lot because she knew she'd call the cops waited for the cops to come watched him leave went up punched her in the forehead she calls the cops they come back he fucking leaves and rear ends a woman and then another cop comes oh my god it's like a it's benny hill yeah literally yakety sacks yeah with domestic abuse but it's sad because there's a woman getting punched in the forehead and all

this that is awful it's the agony sex slowed down yeah it's like a like yeah a jazz like the friends theme is like as a country song right for uh small town murder it's my same lyrics yeah slow it down make it a country song it's a very sad song i feel like that's the same thing we have here song i feel like that's the same thing we have here so uh this oh my goodness this is uh uh spoke with the victim miss christina spivey who stated that she was entering the parking lot at the location when the suspect hit her vehicle from behind he then uh the suspect then exited his vehicle then threw a large rock at her car he threw a rock at her too he throws rocks at people's fucking cars what the fuck and why would you why is he so mad at her he threw a goddamn rock at her car again fucking bitch you hit her car this is your fault man holy goddamn shit he denied it and said that he was pissed off he did hit her car by

accident with his car that was an accident but whatever this rock incident that she says happened he never left his car and he sat there the whole time so she's crazy on the rock thing i didn't throw any rocks at her even though it's kind of a pattern because i did that earlier yeah like so But still, long day for him. Hence his M.O. Yeah. June 30th, 2007. This is three weeks later, Jimmy. How did he stay in the league? He was only in the league for a year at this point. And he's still June 30th, 2007.

Silver. This is how silver the NFL is. They can make this much shit disappear. This is a one the NFL is. They can make this much shit disappear. This is a whole, this is a one-off season. From the time Darren Williams got shot because a beef that he had, all the way until now, the Broncos got to be going, maybe we shouldn't have drafted this guy. I mean, maybe he's not the worst guy or whatever.

Maybe he is. Either way, we're not judging. But maybe just luck-wise, it's just a bad fit. Something's not working. Maybe the mountain air. just luck wise it's just a bad fit something's not working maybe the mountain air do you see yet why uh uh rice punching his wife in the face changed the fucking culture because this is what the culture of the nfl obviously is if any of this was on film yeah it would have been brandon marshall he'd have been over forever punched his girlfriend in the forehead after cutting her with a kitchen

knife and throwing rocks at her friend's car. Can't bury that. The league would have definitely had different policies. So here we go. June 30, 2007, Rashida Watley again tells Atlanta police that Brandon Marshall had punched her and choked her at his downtown condo. Oh, boy. I mean, Jesus. Now he's choking.

Leaving a bruise on her eye and scratches on her body. He was not at the scene, so no charges were filed. Yeah. So basically, in Georgia, you can just beat the shit out of whoever you want. You just have to leave before the cops get there and they go, I don't know. I guess try to get a warrant for him. And then they leave the house. What the fuck is happening here?

Holy shit. Wally stated that she'd been living with her boyfriend for the last two months. So now it's a boyfriend. They've been in a relationship for three years. I observed a bruise on Miss Watley's left eye and noticeable scratches on her body. She refused medical attention, stated that she was going to stay with a friend for the night. Miss Watley stated that her boyfriend is a professional football player and will most likely leave the area for Denver in the next couple days. So she'll just go back when he's gone i advise miss watley of her uh of her rights and how to

get a copy of her restraining order so she was he's like you can get a restraining order i mean i won't arrest him or nothing but i will do nothing about this yeah so 2007 he goes right to training camp and goes and plays for the broncos okay the broncos go seven and nine that year uh october 22nd 2007 mid-season brandle brandon's arrested what he's arrested charged with a dui what which is the only acceptable thing you can do in the nfl because they go well i mean we all like to tie one on don't we he got a dui dui after he was driving the wrong way on a one-way street in downtown denver after a broncos game i can see how that many out that denver's confusing actually make a left and it's a one-way it's like new york is as obviously millions of one-ways and

shit but it's for some reason it flows different denver has confusing one way it doesn't look confusing but when you're in there it's confusing yeah it's i don't know what it is about that perhaps it's uh that it's open there's not a lot of big buildings i mean it's an old so when it's open like that and there's a one way you should just go i can just go wherever i want because it's all open yeah it's downtown new york and manhattan yeah you're there's tighter streets it's pretty tight okay yeah yeah maybe that's what it is or whatever i like denver too i like downtown Denver. Wide streets for one way. Yeah, it is.

Yeah, it's awfully wide here. I don't know why we can't have a lane or two to go the other direction here. What are we doing? So he's arrested. DUI driving wrong way on a one-way street. Was pulled over at what time, Jimmy? 1.30. 4 a.m., obviously.

4 a.m. Eastern. So 2 o'clock. There you go. You nailed it. A few hours following Denver's 31 31 28 victory over the steelers oh so big game big win and then he does this shit so he's released that night whatever uh that year he uh he plays he starts all 16 games they don't give a shit who he's punched in the forehead punch all you want because he has 102 receptions 102 for what 1300 yards 1325 my god and seven touchdowns so that if you do that in the nfl that's the level you can play at that you're allowed to punch your girlfriend in the forehead

and get duis disappear and then they're fine with that yeah uh here's what other players say about him on the field just some guys here this is uh quarterback brandon flower our cornerback brandon flower says this uh quote brandon marshall is a defensive lineman playing wide receiver he wants to inflict punishment on you he wants to try to yeah he wants you to try to tackle him so he can shove you off of him and get more yards that's how he plays which for a receiver is great but but in a hotel room, it's not as good. And that guy plays for the Steelers, right? He just played against him. Brandon Flowers, yeah.

And then Asamaga, the other corner, he says, quote, Brandon is the toughest guy to bring down one-on-one. So everybody says that. Here we go. Now offseason comes around, and obviously he has troubles. After a 7-9 season. Yeah, he's going to have Yeah, he's got problems. March 4th through 6th, 2008 is just an epic long weekend here.

Bad week for him. Three straight days of constant police contact. Where? Just get a badge, Brandon. Get a car. Just join the force force because you have talked but again he's never there so he doesn't talk to these you have to rashida should join the force or break up with brandon one of the two that's at least if she joined the force it would be

assault on a police officer maybe they'd go after him is there that much maybe then they'd go after allure to dating an athlete that you'll put up with this shit i don't know i mean we don't know what their psychology is in a relationship with an nfl player but the psychology of it too we don't know what her upbringing is if that's you know just the way she was abused and our who knows we don't know anything about it but i don't understand it like from a logical point of view you go don't be with this guy jesus stop being with him we're living together why cut you with a knife and punched you in the forehead three months ago right what are you with this guy for but his family doesn't even like you they throw phones at your face they throw phones yeah good god he throws rocks at your friends right this is just a bad the whole thing's a bad suit

man just whatever but i don't know so this is three incident reports filed on consecutive days. Wow. One criminal warrant filed later on after Watley and Marshall got into a fight in his condo. Oh, boy. Watley told police that Marshall punched her in the mouth and the eye. He just punches women. This is right in the face, man.

Fuck, man. Marshall told police his hand was also cut on glass during the incident, which included Wat what least two younger sisters as well are involved in this now it's a battle royal now we're doing a whole deal here yeah he's going to be arrested finally on march 6th for misdemeanor battery but it starts on march 4th uh where atlanta police respond to a fight call at marshall's address upon arrival according to the report here police met with Marshall, who was bleeding from his hand. Obviously.

So let's see here. Can I read the report? Because the report's kind of it's kind of hard here. Motley and her sisters upon. Okay, here we go. Who was bleeding from his hand. He stated that his hand had that he had been in a verbal fight with his girlfriend

when her sisters attacked him with a knife cutting his hand. Oh, both been in a verbal fight with his girlfriend when her sisters attacked him with a knife cutting his hand oh both of them jesus he refused uh medical whatever uh mr marshall who had the knife stated there was no knife and had been cut on glass during the fight when i asked him who had the knife then he said that there was no knife and he had been cut on glass he changed his mind like a minute later he's like no never mind i accompanied mr marshall upstairs in the apartment and had him wait outside in the hall while i spoke to his girlfriend miss uh miss rashida watley and her sisters upon entering the apartment mrs uh ms watley closed the door behind me and informed me that mr marshall had attacked her i immediately noted ms watley had several cuts on her lips which she stated it was

from him hitting her she refused medical things as well here uh let's see here at this point i stepped outside to speak to mr marshall and found he had left the area that's what he does had enough of this shit i re-entered the apartment and asked mr uh ms watley what had happened she stated mr marshall had beat her uh in the past over little things um i asked her what had happened this time and she stated that she had found a text message from one of her ex-boyfriends on her phone they then engaged a verbal argument that she uh then called her sisters who arrived soon after when the sisters arrived she stated that mr marshall began to destroy the apartment,

threw her on the bed, grabbed her head with his hand and began to slap her. At that point, Ms. Watley's sister, Ms. Adela, I don't know what her first name is. It's hard to read this.

Adela Watley stated that upon her entering the apartment, she saw Mr marshall uh throw uh what does this say throw i think throw her sister down so uh rashida throw rashida onto the bed and grab her head miss watley's other sister uh miss alaya watley said that she saw mr marshall throw her on the bed as well grab her head and strike her with his hand at that point this sister said that she told mr marshall that she called the police and that's when he left the apartment so this is fucking crazy this is awful yeah he to the point her

sisters come over they attack him because they're trying to protect her sister because he's thrown her on the bed and slapping her around after he went around destroying the apartment the whole thing's fucked breaking fucking shit up man this is they do not need to be together anymore it's a giant oh by the way that's march 4th yeah march 5th this is a three-day weekend remember march 5th police report at approximately uh 1 a.m of course uh responded to a fight call at his apartment again at this location the victim ms rashida watley advised that she had a verbal fight with her boyfriend mr brandon marshall who took her property from the dresser and threw her clothing over the balcony when he left god so yeah destroy the apartment throw clothing over the balcony. This is over two days. Now, victim number two is his other sister, her sister, Ms.

Ms. Aaliyah Watley advised that her sister's boyfriend, Brandon Marshall, took her property, which was near her sister's items when he left the apartment. Ms. Watley also advised that her boyfriend hit her earlier and keeps returning to the apartment to get his property. Ms. Watley stated quote i was trying to hide these items because he bought them for me after destroying my computer so wow she also said that marshall had been they've been dating on and off for four years

and that uh they've called the police multiple times this is i'm blown away by his lack of ability to have a an adult relationship with anybody he's a fucking menace yeah it's yeah what happened to this kid that's what i mean she said she's called the police three times in florida twice in denver with one arrest once in puerto rico for domestic violence and they're currently in counseling so they went on vacation puerto rico's got dv laws they went like to the beach on vacation and got in a fucking fist fight and he beat her up jesus christ man how far do you gotta go to punch a woman yeah that's oh by the way her sister alia wally is only 16 years old so she's a kid too this is what she's gotta see wow um that is wild um jesus christ so uh yeah there was that

happened she advised about the domestic violence uh that she can receive what was this uh oh my god yeah she said that the police officer said baby she should leave and stay with her mother for the night and she said quote if i leave he may damage my other property i know the apartment is in his name but if he wants me to leave he'll have to formally have me evicted by the court so yeah she's like she's like if i leave then he's gonna lock me out and take all my shit which i mean that's a fair yeah but you can get a court order to have police with you so you can remove your property that's true that's true but if he destroyed it already then it's then then what? So for this whole incident, by the way, he'll end up being suspended for three games, which will then get reduced to one game and find one game check, $52,353.

It's not an epidemic. No, it's fine. Everything's fine. So that's quite a three-day weekend that he had there. All sorts of shit going on here. May 21st, 2008. Still in in the off season for fuck's sake atlanta police were dispatched to his condo to enforce whatley's temporary restraining order while whatley was there removing her belongings so that's what she's doing then but this is you know months later two months later so uh the officer described marshall as being cooperative and

whatley is being argumentative although whatley told the officer she felt threatened by marshall and his relatives who are also there yeah she's probably like they're gonna fucking hit me at some point these people i wouldn't trust anybody that has anything to do with them at this point as much as i as she's been hit so uh yeah so that's what happened there july 29 2008 so she's everything's been bad she writes a letter to roger goodell the commissioner of football like the boss of boss the boss of bosses this is after they have levied a three-game suspension on him okay now she writes a letter quote my name is rashida whatley i am the ex-girlfriend of brandon marshall this is dated july 29 2008 i read in the newspapers that he is in trouble with the league because of me i will

let you know that he never hurt or hit me i was pressured by my family to make certain things up to get money i was told to say that brandon hit me and hurt me so that i could get him to pay to keep me quiet i want you to know that he never did so that reduces his sentence to sign brandon marshall i mean i mean rashida wallace right wallace right two l's exactly this gets him so this saves him 100 grand in game checks you know oh boy so there's the money so uh uh yeah august 5th 2008 so he gets the letter july 29th august 5th august 5th the nfl announces that the suspension is dropped from three games to one so that's how that goes so yep september 2008 yeah the next month yeah uh marshall pleads guilty

to reduced charge of driving while ability impaired, stemming from last year's DUI. So he receives you, sir. May fuck off. Everything he's done, one year of probation. Come on, man. So, I mean, at least there's something. At least he's on the books, I guess. But Jesus fucking Christ, dude.

So 2008, he's in Denver here. Eight and eight they go. I mean, does it matter what his stats are at this point a hundred he's got 104 catches this year though which is an obscene amount of catches how he manages that yeah all of that going on he catches the football as much as rashida catches rights and lefts that's what i mean yeah his hands are better than her fucking forehead at this point because he's hit her in the forehead multiple times. His hands are busy. That's ridiculous.

On and off the field. Jesus Christ. He's hit this woman so many times. So many times. It sounds like they keep observing all these injuries on her and everything like that. How does it keep going? It's awful. So, this is, he's had six touchdowns that year.

So, the off season comes up. February 2009. He's got a new girlfriend yeah okay he's got a new girlfriend uh named uh michi nagami is her name um okay so february 2009 he proposes to her okay you know what what do we always say on crime and sports when things are going terrible when things are out of control the best thing you could possibly do is get married yeah that's the rule we it's one of the crime and sports rules don't go home yeah don't get married when things are going bad don't find religion and have a have a baby have a baby yeah don't have more kids no teenagers in your hit squad keep your silver-haired

middle-aged white people close to you there's a lot of rules yeah and uh he is breaking all of them here uh so he proposes to her now about his ex because he's asked about it hey didn't you have some problems with a girl like a lot recently like a month ago yeah well he said this is an understatement of the year he acknowledged that his relationship with the wally had been rocky oh boy rocky's one way to put it so's the side of a friend's car that's yeah that's rocky when i get an accident shit that's rocky he said though that he's been attending therapy sessions ever since and trying to get better he says quote we argued every single day we treated each other bad we had no business being in a relationship and that's the most

accurate thing he's ever said in his entire life. He's only been honest once in his life. Whatever he said before or since then pales in comparison. Now, he said that his whole life he grew up with domestic violence. So this was just like a thing that happened. He said, quote, I grew up in a house in an environment in a neighborhood where it was volatile domestic violence is serious i saw how it affected my mother yeah so he's good now obviously now i've learned i've learned my lesson yeah i'm engaged to somebody else uh it's february

first i'm engaged domestic now i know yeah good now march 1st, 2009. Literally four weeks. March 1st, 2009. Four weeks later. He's arrested in Atlanta on a disorderly conduct charge after allegedly being in a dispute with his fiancée. Michi. Michi. Oh, boy. And, yeah, charges get dropped the next day because she won't cooperate.

But let's see. Here's the police report. Okay. Upon my arrival, there was already two cops on the scene with two people detained brandon marshall and his girlfriend mr marshall stated that he and his fiancee ms michi nagami campbell were having a discussion mr marshall advised that the discussion became intense that's one way to put it yeah and m And Ms. Campbell attempted to walk away. Mr. Marshall stated that he became fearful of her safety outside of his residence due to her being from Orlando. What?

What does that mean? Being from Orlando, Florida, not being familiar with the city of Atlanta. Okay. I mean. So she's in danger. She's going to walk in front of a car? She's an adult person. Be careful.

There's cars. Oh, my God. She's just. They don't have streets in Orlando. We just walk in the middle of the road. What he means is she's hot and somebody else is going to pick her up. Yeah, right. I guess.

Probably. I'm going to lose her forever. I was worried about it. Walking around crying. Someone was going to come up and talk to her. A hot chick crying. Somebody's going to come to her rescue. What's happening, pretty lady?

talk to her a hot chick crying somebody's gonna come to her rescue what's happening pretty lady so uh he's mr marshall stated that he was trying to convince her that she should not leave and should return to his residence he also however denied the two were engaged in any physical altercation another officer here officer nickel stated that she observed both parties outside of the above location engaged in an intense conversation. Officer Nichols stated that both individuals were raising their voices at each other and the conversation began to grow intense. Officer Nichols advised that both parties were walking on a street and then it became physical and engaged in a fight, kicking and punching each other on the sidewalk outside the above listed location in front of a cop. Holy shit. They can't control themselves while the cops are there.

They're there. Punching each other. Each other. She's throwing blows too. They're both start fighting. The cops are there. We've seen how many times we've seen on cops on live pd they go into a situation no matter what the volatility was they don't try to fight with the cops in front of them right they argue but

they stay on opposite sides of the room and plead their case to the cop not to each other this is amazing oh my god so they're punching and kicking on the sidewalk officer nickels advised that she observed mr marshall grab ms nag Nagami Campbell by her shirt and pin her up against the wall at this time. At this time, Ms. Nagami Campbell then began kicking and hitting Mr. Marshall. This is a fucking mess. Officer Fisher stated that when he arrived at the scene, he observed both individuals engaged in a fight, punching and kicking each other as well. Officer Fisher stated that he and Nichols both detained both suspects without further incident. Wow.

Both parties involved in the fight were advised that they did not need medical attention. Both Brandon Marshall and Ms. Campbell were charged with disorderly conduct, and both were transported to city jail without further incident. So, a mess. Atlanta's got to hate them. Right? The town of Atlanta and the police department have to be furious that that guy that plays for a team not here right you don't go fuck up denver man what are you doing go away

we're very lucky that we don't have any uh athletes in this town at the moment that lives that play somewhere else and beat the shit out of their wives here yeah only only local but it's only it's only when kid plays for the sun that was it he'd do it all the time so august 14th 2009 oh boy back again uh watley this is a trial for his other shit watley changes her story at marshall's trial in atlanta 2009 okay under oath she said that the letter that she sent to roger goodell had been a lie to at marshall's trial in atlanta 2009 okay under oath she said that the letter that she sent to roger goodell had been a lie to protect marshall and not cost him any more suspension but because she had wrote that letter what do you say do if you're a jury that's all everything out it's all pretty up in the air you don't matters anymore you can't yeah you can't your credibility

is fucked it's fucked yeah and if you're a jury you're in part you don't know these people you just go well i mean i don't know who's telling the truth at this point because she wrote that so they find him not guilty of course of battery so there you go they acquit him and he's done august 28 2009 this is two weeks later coach josh mcdaniels suspends brandon marshall for the remainder of the pre-season thank you gee wow you're on your way to ruining denver for eight to ten years may as well do this not the pre-season yeah that's ridiculous for conduct detrimental to the team the day after he lost his cool at practice and punted away a football this was after a big show of frustration well this was after he was they were throwing him the passes and he would just swat him away when they came to him really run the route the ball

come and he just swat the ball to the ground and walk back to the huddle he kept doing that they said something to what the fuck are you doing so he took the ball and punted it as far as he could out of the thing there take that motherfuckers they were like okay in josh mcdaniel's face yeah the only time that i encourage it because fuck that guy i will say this in his defense at least it wasn't in his forehead yeah so that's good good call he didn't just spike the ball in his forehead so um yeah he ends up being reinstated of course before the season josh mcdaniel should have been fired for conduct detrimental to the team when he took when he drafted tim tebow right yeah that's it done you're fired yeah and not the drafted fucking jerk drafted asshole how about pick him up as a free agent later and have him do whatever so 2009 broncos they go eight

and eight very mediocre at this point december 13th 2009 marshall sets this is a positive thing for once you were like oh boy what do you punch now this is in a game against the cults he sets an nfl record for receptions in a game with 21 unbelievable in one game that's a shitload of receptions throw to anybody else it doesn't seem like it generally have 21 to 25 reception or that's i mean completed a game in a game they're all to brandon marshall apparently uh he's great though he was in the pro bowl in 2008 he's in the pro bowl in 2009 he plays in 15 games and uh has 101 receptions so three years in a row with 100 receptions which is i think there's only six

players in the nfl in history that have done that unbelievable pretty impressive,120 yards and 10 touchdowns. It's a career high. Not bad. February 26, 2010, he testifies for the prosecution in the murder trial of Willie E. Clark, who was the guy who killed Darren Williams. And he ends up being convicted and given a life sentence. Willie Clark. Not Ponytail? Not Ponytail, that I know of anyway but definitely not brandon uh so april 14th 2010 the broncos have had about enough of this shit yeah uh yeah they trade him and he's unhappy swatting balls away and all this shit so i was so mad about this yeah well he's the number

one receiver yeah and he's fucking good and he didn't know about all that no idea he didn't know about all that stuff didn't know he was even responsible for the dust-up that killed Derrick Williams. See what I mean? The guy, he skated for years. He's traded to the Dolphins for a 2010 draft pick and whatever. Now, this was about the whole punting incident and all that shit a lot. Once he's traded, the Dolphins sign him to a, what does it say, four-year, $47.5 million deal.

My God. Not too bad. This is the Chad Henney, Tyler Thigpen, Chad Pennington quarterback Dolphins. Chad Henney's there. He is. 2010 being garbage back then. So, yeah, Tony Sperano is the head coach here, 7-9. They stink.

Who cares? They were a-9. They stink. Who cares? They were a bad team. They were bad. So he plays in 14 games, though, 86 receptions, 1,014 yards. It doesn't matter because he's busy. February 2011, he's busy. Brandon and Michi decide, they announce to the world that they are going to dedicate their lives to christianity okay they have discovered christianity during a retreat wait a minute you're supposed to treat people nice

and discovered now this is such a better way to live there are going to be christians now they said now you know what yeah we're good now he's a christian everybody happy good we're good now. He's a Christian. Everybody happy? Good. We're good now. This guy's going to live right. That's it. And April 1st, 2011, he makes an honest woman out of Michi and marries her. Married her?

Marries her. He's ready. He's dead to Jimmy. He's good now. On the path. Now, we know, obviously, don't find religion is one of these main rules

because not that no one should find religion. When an athlete is in the quicksand, that's just one other crazy thing that they're doing that's not on track. That's all it is. So that's April 1st, 2011. Congratulations. The honeymoon lasts three weeks. April 17th because uh on april 22nd 2011 she calls the cops and she's now

michi nagami marshall and she calls the cops and uh is arrested after she admits to police that she stabbed brandon with a stump in the stomach with a kitchen knife in self-defense. My God. He is hospitalized in intensive care at first, but then he has a surgery and is released later on. Shit. Yeah. That's what happened. He's stabbed. Is this in Florida?

This is, I believe, in... Where is this? This might be Atlanta. Here's the police report. Let me look. Florida. Yeah. It is Florida. Yeah. There you go. Down there in Miami. You know it, Florida. It is Florida.

Down there in Miami. You know it, babe. So, yeah, 911 call came in. It was made by her at 4.40 p.m. So this is in the middle of a goddamn day. She just said, please come. It's an emergency. And then said, please come.

It's an emergency again. And then hung up the phone. Where are we going, lady? So, yeah, this is the police report april 22nd 2011 uh the above listed defendant michi uh did unlawfully and intentionally arm herself with a kitchen knife and stabbed the victim in the abdomen holy shit i don't know how big this thing was yeah right it's a kitchen knife it's gotta be decent at least any yeah any of those is definitely pretty big yeah it's not like a like a paring knife, a little pen knife or Swiss Army knife.

The victim and defendant have been married for approximately one year. No, no. That's just I think in the report. It's one year or less. Yeah, exactly. I've been involved in a couple for approximately two and one half years and have no children. The victim provided sworn testimony advising that he slipped and fell into a broken glass vase however you know what he said he slipped on a mcdonald's wrapper okay he said there was a mcdonald's cheeseburger wrapper on the floor yeah

why who knows but he said he slipped on that and fell into some glass and stabbed himself in the abdomen no glass left in there myself with a vase slash knife. You know how that happens, those vase knives. I like to keep them. They're my favorite decoration. The area where the vase was broken indicated no blood within the immediate area to substantiate that claim. Pretty easy to figure that out.

However, the defendant was read Miranda on the scene, and wherein, post-Miranda, she stated that she stabbed the victim out of self-defense. So he says that. She goes, oh, no, I stabbed the motherfucker. Photographs were taken stated that she stabbed the victim out of self-defense. So he says that she goes, Oh no, I stabbed the motherfucker. Photographs were taken of the scene and the victim. They were provided.

Both victim and the defendant provided scant information regarding the incident itself. However, based on the post Miranda statement and injuries, the defendant was taken into custody, obviously. So yeah, he has to have surgeries and intensive care for a minute she is arrested for

aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and released on 7500 bail he found him one that can take a punch and deliver deliver a knife hey she's getting punched in the forehead though he's gonna think twice before he punches her in the fucking forehead i'll tell you that much yeah he explained to the cops that it was all just a misunderstanding he slipped on a mcdonald's rapper while they were engaging in horseplay just hanging around just playing just wrassling just a wrassling and then uh june 10th 2011 um nagomi marshall his wife yeah is arrested after violating a restraining order to stay away from him in the home he found his match yeah um it goes around comes around yeah that's what i'm saying she told deputy she was living in the home while he was out of town yeah like he's not even here so when he returned home there was a verbal dispute according to the arrest report and someone

placed a call to 911 and hung up quickly without saying anything so deputies responded and arrested her at about 10 a.m no sign of physical violence this time that's a good sign yeah she's arrested for violating a judge's order and that um his his uh representative said this is a very difficult time for brandon and his family thankfully he will make a full recovery on the stabbing and we just asked that his privacy is respected yeah that's great july 14 2011 um marshall repeatedly tells a florida state's attorney that his wife did not stab him and she says yes i did if you're a fucking prosecuting attorney how often are you faced with a case where i bet it's a lot where the victim says that it didn't happen but the perpetrator insists it did in how often does that happen domestic violence i'll bet it happens a lot

why i don't understand this the guy probably went hold on a minute wait a second but it's usually i'll bet the sex is opposite usually i don't get it though she why would the perpetrator insist that she stabbed him while he's saying no she didn't i don't know usually that's what it would be one would protect the other i've never seen where i've never seen this before i'm gonna fall on my sword and he's like no don't what's happening this is the weirdest shit ever he he said it earlier that he grew up in a house where domestic violence was prevalent. He doesn't know how to get out of it. No. He's stuck.

I believe that. That's amazing. As a dude that's 6'5", that plays in a manly-ass league like he does, and he does not know how to be a grown adult. That is shocking. Clearly not. It is shocking. He doesn't know how to be an adult. He doesn't know how to get out of his situation.

And he finds people. And this is the thing. When we we say people find people they're not looking for that person you it's subconscious you just find that person you you can tell when that that's going to give you the drama that you're right whatever psychological problem you have requires whatever hole in your psyche needs to be filled with crazy that person's got it oh that's the amount of crazy i'm looking for man she cooks up the crazy like nobody i'm telling you man so he's he's telling them he didn't stab she didn't stab him she's saying sure i stabbed him this is confusing like he's gotta just go home and be like i gotta fucking get my life together after this after that confusing court date he's gotta go home and be like i gotta fucking get my life together after

this after that confusing court date he's got to go home and go this is just what am i doing i need to start over yeah start over clear the decks no more women no more anything let's start over as a matter i don't want anything that's in this apartment i don't want anything i'm gonna get a new bed i'm gonna get a new everything. I'm going to get a new everything. I'm going to show and salt my life. Matter of fact, salt the earth. March to the sea of Brandon Marshall's life. As a matter of fact, never mind just the bed. I'm getting all new furniture. I need to redecorate my entire apartment, and only one man can help me.

And it's Dexter Manley, interior designer from New York City. And he says. How is it that you have come to arrive here? Oh, my God. Honest. This is I'm sorry. You are the whitest trash there is. Right.

You, sir, are white trash. Look at you. Denny's parking lots? Oh my God. Your father tried to run you over in a bowling alley parking lot. I'm sorry. You don't get any more white trash than that. I'm sorry.

Like a dog turd in the yard for four weeks. It's like he tried to, like, it's like he basically, that's the equivalent of just hanging an El Camino engine from a tree. It's just, that's the trashiest thing in the world. Let me in! No, no, stop. No, no, no. He does not need, no. I'm getting in there.

No, Mark, Brandon. Brandon, don't open the door. Bar the door! Don't open it, Brandon. Oh, no. Hello. Hi. Me, don't open the door. Door to the door. Don't open it, Brandon. Oh, no. Hello. Hi.

Me, she opened it. I see how you've come to her. Look at you, you big strapping bastard. Look at you. Why don't you get that shirt off? Let me get a look at that stab wound. It turns me on. It turns me on.

I like your scars. Look at you. I'm going to put overalls on you. You're going to be the sexiest son of a bitch. Vince, stop it. Vince. Vince. Vince. He doesn't need the scars. Look at you. I'm going to put overalls on you. You're going to be the sexiest son of a bitch. Vince, stop it. Vince. Vince. He doesn't need the violence right now. Stop.

Please. No. He's a violent beast, and I'm going to tame him. I'm going to bring him in. And where's that little girlfriend of yours, too? She's a firecracker. I'm bringing her in, too. You're going to be a tag team.

You're going to slap him, and then she's going to come in and just stab him in the chest repeatedly. It's going to be amazing. Vince. Vince, we're leaving now i'm sorry i want it i want him give me a vince no please stop brandon's very confused yeah door closes he has no idea what poof and there's 1099s and feathered boas everywhere he has no idea what happened he still needs furniture yeah he's very confused but uh place is empty place is empty he's like what the fuck so you know there we go july 29 2011 right after that aggravated battery charges against his girlfriend for the stabbing are dropped mate she's free but she he refuses to say she says he says repeatedly i fell into a vase so if that happens in court how do you do

how do you how's the jury gonna jury going to convict her on that? So July 31st, 2011, this is when he comes out and tells everyone, reveals that he has borderline personality disorder. He's been diagnosed with this thing. And this was a big deal when this came out because this is a major active top tier wide receiver acknowledging that he has a mental illness. Which in the NFL, any illness or anything is considered weakness. So this was actually a very ballsy thing to do. Also, at the same time, doesn't hurt to kind of wipe the slate of your legal troubles as well to announce all this publicly. So it's actually good and self-serving.

Sure. So rarely do you get to do both. What I mean? An act that's self-serving but also helps people. That's really rare. Good for everybody, but most importantly, me. It's not bad. Now, borderline personality, a lot of people don't know what that is.

Oh, it's bad shit. I'm just going to give you the Mayo Clinic. Don't. Why don't you give me serial killers diagnosed with it? Don't tweet at us that we know not all people with borderline personality are serial killers. We know all of this. This is the Mayo Clinic. So any complaints at Mayo Clinic, I believe, is who you send it to because this is their shit.

We're not doctors. their shit we're not doctors mayo clinic lists widely varying mood swings inappropriate anger and antagonistic behavior that sometimes manifests itself as physical fights and difficulty controlling impulses and emotions that sounds like brandon i would say that's pretty accurate um he says the diagnosis is uh and the treatment is what will turn his life around and he becomes a vocal advocate for mental health awareness which is awesome obviously um yeah so uh you know he's got some still some issues though let's talk about it uh 2011 he's with the dolphins they're six and ten they stink yeah december 1st 2011 he's in a dispute with a cab driver oh my god this really isn't his fault though this is a weird one with

the way it works out uh the dolphins receiver was briefly handcuffed and detained while he was investigating it turns out as a misunderstanding about 142 he eventually pays the fare and leaves without being charged but the incident apparently i guess he take took a cab home it was after the dolphins win the taxi driver called the deputies shortly before 7 a.m and they handcuffed him and everything marshall told him that he wanted to go home they misunderstood each other the guy took him somewhere else and then wanted to charge him for brandon was like you didn't take me where the fuck i wanted to go dude i'm not paying you 142 so he called the cops and it turned out he has a really it says in the report that the driver has

a very thick accent that's hard to understand, and he didn't understand Brandon. Brandon didn't understand him. Big misunderstanding. Everybody's happy. So there you go. Well, not his fault. At least he didn't punch the guy in the forehead. So 2011, though, he's a pro bowler again.

Plays in all 16 games, 81 receptions, six touchdowns. March 11, 2012, offseason, Marshall punches a woman at a Manhattan nightclub. Now he's in New York. He's spreading to the Northeast. He's accused by a 24-year-old woman of punching her in the eye, giving her a black eye during an altercation outside a club in New York. His attorney says that it was Marshall's wife that was injured and that they're the true victims of the crime here. Oh, so the woman hit michi and he defended michi's honor and no no he's saying that no one hit her she's the one that actually hit his

wife and she's making the whole thing up she sues him uh it says miles is a victim this is the court documents here of assault and battery by the intentional actions of marshall outside of marquee nightclub in manhattan marshall struck miles in the face there are eyewitness accounts to attest the fact that marshall struck miles in the face there's evidence in the form of a videotape that shows and proves marshall struck miles in the face outside of the market we have witnesses oh yeah well witnesses can lie we have a videotape all right this is getting harder to defend shit um let's see here uh the strike delivered by the six foot five inch 230 pound nfl player violently sent the

140 pound woman to the ground oh i'm sure as i bet it would be yeah um the strike by marshall calls caused miles extreme reoccurring head and neck pain yep severe headaches and uh blah blah blah okay so there you go march 14th 2012 this is what three days after this happens three days later he is traded yep goodbye they trade him to the bears for a third round draft pick and blah blah blah so august 10th 2012 turns out there's going to be no suspension for his latest arrest punching the girl no suspension for that yeah uh his agent said that quote we're humbled and enthused and excited by the decision of the commissioner's office we're enthused that we're not suspended for punching a woman in the face humbled excited and enthused that is the wrong combination of words all of them

uh we also understand that brandon has to continue to grow and be accountable and responsible we have no doubt that he'll do above uh well he'll do all the above and more it's gonna be he's good now remember 2012 with the bears this is lovey smith they go 10 and 6 jay cutler here jason campbell backing him up matt forte it's that team jason Jason Campbell was the backup for him? Apparently there, yeah. He was the backup. He is a pro bowler again here and an all-pro this year as he has 118 receptions.

Career high. That is wild. 1,508 yards, 11 touchdowns. Career high in everything this year. Yeah. Dominating. Doing his thing. 2013, Chicago.

Hey, 8-8 again again big shocker wow um october 16 2013 nfl fined brandon marshall ten thousand five hundred dollars uh for violating the uniform policy because he wore green cleats why'd you do that who cares it's green cleats who's looking at your feet who gives a shit what color cleats they're wearing the nfl shouldn't care about that out of here that gives the defense uh an absolute clue where you are that's what i mean who the guy in the green cleats who cares that he's punching women in the face can we not care about his cleats who are they flying the jets yeah right something green something green uh he has has 100 receptions that year, though.

That's five seasons total with 100 receptions. Not bad. Career high of 12 touchdowns that year, too. So pretty good shit. 1,295 yards. 2014, though. May 19, 2014, they signed him to an extension. Three years, $30 million.

Wow. He has made so much money. A cool $30 million. Wow. Not bad, right? three years 30 million dollars wow he has made so much money a cool 30 million wow not bad right um september 2014 it's brought up that how the fuck is he in the league yeah uh based on his record so uh year this is 2014 this is when yeah when ray rice had punched so we're starting to talk about it and uh gloria all red who a lot of people have a lot of opinions on her, but on this particular case, I don't know how you can say she's wrong. I mean, you can have an opinion either way. I'm just saying she called for the NFL to address Marshall's past in light of its revised personal conduct policy here.

Bears general manager released a statement, though, pointing out that since being with the Bears, he's participated in charity work and raised awareness of mental health issues. This is the silver haired middle aged statement here. Brandon has the full support of the Chicago Bears. Our hairs are a silver fucking. That's really poking your neck out. Wow. Full support. neck out wow the full support we were aware of his personal background when we traded for him in 2012 and equally aware of the tremendous efforts he's made to bring positive changes in his life and in

the lives of all the people around him since his arrival brandon has thrived in an environment that has been supportive he's been a very positive thoughtful and proactive leader and role model oh boy yeah he has acknowledged his past struggles and shared his story in an effort to help others improve their daily lives. Brandon has been at the forefront of mental health awareness and has extended himself in an unprecedented way to help fellow players across the NFL. He has helped himself through helping others, and we are proud to have him as a teammate. He helped the girl in New York's eyes match her shoes. He did.

Look at that. Everything's great. Now they match your bag. Now they match your handbag nice your belt shoes and eyes all match good luck everything so 2014 they go 5 and 11 the bears so you can love them all you want you still suck uh that year anyway so uh november 6 2014 there's an arrest it's not him though though. It's another Marshall. It's his brother.

Oh, no. His family has a bad month this month. His brother's arrested. He's 23, Bijan Massey Marshall. He's being held on at least $800,000 bond. Oh, that's a lot. After committing several crimes in Denver, Douglas County, and Arapahoe County. He's being charged with felonies that

include violent uh violent crimes he uh let's see here it extends back to 2009 the court records show he was on probation when he stole a chevy camaro from a lone tree dealership in june 2013 yeah uh they filed charges for aggravated motor vehicle theft he's arrested in june and posted bond uh two months later he robbed a 77 year old woman in her home with at gunpoint what has happened he went into an old lady's home and robbed her at gunpoint your brother has 70 million dollars what i mean you need a fucking loan what are you doing jesus the same day that he did that he attempted to rob another victim and pointed a handgun at witnesses for that so this is all brandishing there's all sorts of armed robbery he's arrested again and bond out and bonded out on october 16th four days later

uh he was on pre-trial release wearing a gps tracker when he committed another fucking violent crime, he asked a local clerk for change for a $5 bill. When he opened up the cash drawer, the clerk opened up the cash drawer. Marshall pulled out a handgun from his waist and reached over the counter to grab a money bag that he had back there. He's arrested for that uh again so uh yeah and also too in in in the chicago suburb of evanston he has an open warrant for a retail theft at a north face store i get it that shit's over it's too expensive and it's cold i get it it was in january of chicago he's just being a menace a men menace. December 22nd, 2014. A couple weeks later, his dad's arrested.

Oh? Brandon's dad's arrested here. For what? Oh, buddy. Let's see here. Put your glass now. Right with a beer bottle. Apparently, he resisted officers and elbowed a cop in the face after being told to leave the parking lot of a closed business.

So, this guy loves hanging out in parking lots. He does. I just hang out in parking lots. Castleberry police arrested him on two counts of battery on an officer plus a count each of resisting arrest and misuse of 911. Police were called there 1.15 a.m. He's in a parking lot of a closed building to assist police from Winter Springs who are responding to a suspicious person in a white van parked in a dark parking lot of a closed building to assist police from winter springs who were responding to a suspicious person in a white van parked in a dark parking lot of a closed business that one of the responding

officers said had been burglarized recently okay so it's a thing yeah according to the police uh marshall had gotten into a fight with his wife and left his house to quote sleep in a dark area okay he just left to sleep it off he was was like, I couldn't deal with her. This looked dark enough. Hey, you know what? Good. Trying not to beat her anymore. Didn't beat her up.

Didn't do anything. Left the house. Did the right thing. Let's say you don't have money for a hotel or whatever. Sleep in your van. Fine. I get it. Totally fine.

That's okay. Right now, he's living fine. The best he can. Police knocked on the window. They said Marshall became aggressive, telling officers that the vehicles at the business was allowed to be there. He said, I'm allowed to be here. The officers told him that he needed to leave the property if he could not provide proof that he was allowed to be there. And they said that he then called 911, Marshall.

Called 911 saying that he wanted a lieutenant out here right now. For 911? 911. I want a lieutenant right now. Come out here and take these guys away. It's an emergency. Police? I have police bothering me.

He called the police to tell on the police. That's pretty incredible. Not going to get very far with that, probably. The officers warned Marshall after the first call to not do that, so they proceeded to arrest him for misuse of 911 after he called a second time. They said, that's misuse of 911. You do that again, we're going to arrest you. And he's like, I need a lieutenant.

And they were like, okay, you're going in. Unbelievable. of 9-1-1 you do that again we're going to arrest you he's like i need a lieutenant and they were like okay you're going in well while attempting to handcuff marshall police said he resisted arrest and elbowed one of the officers in the face and they had to use a stun gun on marshall's hand during the scuffle oh shit so his dad got tased in a parking lot i mean jesus christ it's almost like i feel like his father's clearly the thing that spun everything off. His father's clearly the core. He made a mess of this whole family. Yeah. You know, I mean, you feel bad for Brandon because he has mental issues and he did get

a lot under control after he found out the mental issues and whatever. But how did the NFL not go? Hey, maybe you should see a psychiatrist, man. Like somebody. You don't know that you can't punch women. That's what I mean. I mean, you feel, like I said, you almost feel bad for the guy, but not nearly as bad as you might feel for Brandon Marshall,

account manager at Customer Success in San Francisco, California. Brandon Marshall, PR and social media marketing in Columbus, Ohio. He's a skinny white kid. Yeah. Definitely not Brandon Marshall, PR and social media marketing in Columbus, Ohio. He's a skinny white kid. Definitely not Brandon Marshall. Brandon Marshall, plumber, Phoenix, Arizona. How you doing? I could use your help, sir. Brandon Marshall, plumber.

Give me a call. Hey, sometimes Paul Calhoun sublets jobs to me. You know what I mean? Brandon Marshall, associate director, connections and planning at Havas Media Group in Boston. marshall associate director connections and planning at havis media group in boston uh brandon marshall sales manager at encore event technologies in san diego california and finally brandon markeith marshall the most confused one so confused that they literally have each other's middle names on some websites uh he's a broncos linebacker so even broncos brandon marshall you're getting it's fucking awful is he still there uh no he was selected by the jaguars he went to the he went

to denver played in denver till 2018 yep and then went to oakland in 2019 and then he hasn't played since so he's he's done now so 2014 brandon has 61 recept who cares jesus christ march 15th march 10 2015 he's traded by the bears uh to the jets really yeah traded for draft picks yeah yeah this makes sense when he kicks around this is 10 and 6 jets holy shit decent team uh yeah not bad at all uh ryan fitzpatrick is the quarterback that's why gino smitho Smith, when they drafted him, he's the backup. He actually makes the Pro Bowl this year, Brandon does. Yeah, he makes it. Comes back.

16 games. 109 receptions. Fucking 1,502 yards. I mean, he's their main receiver and leads the AFC with 14 receptions. Unbelievable. Touchdown receptions, which is a career high for him as well. Wow. So he has a career year that year. September 2016, which is a career high for him as well. Wow. So he has a career year that year.

September 2016, he's a mentor now. Okay. Yeah, troubled tight end Austin Seferin Jenkins used him as a mentor here. I guess he had been arrested for DUI right before this, this other receiver, and it resulted from him being released from the Bucs, and the Jets claimed him on waivers, so now he's there. If you have problems with your life, talk to him. Talk to Brandon.

He knows all about that. Maybe you've got mental issues. Maybe he can help you. He says, quote, we've been talking a while. He's a great talent, Marshall says. He says, when I heard Monday we claimed him, I was like, this is a godsend. If he needs me, I'm there. I heard Monday we claimed him, I was like, this is a godsend. If he needs me, I'm there. I've already connected him with the right people in the city if he needs them.

I would say we don't know if those are his issues. I would say this. I don't know if those are his issues. I had a DUI before, and you can live and learn. There are a lot of people that make terrible decisions, but that doesn't make them terrible people. Good point. Yeah, he said, good guys need second chances. When you make a mistake but that doesn't make them terrible people good point yeah he said good guys need second chances when you make a mistake it doesn't mean you're a bad person you need people to believe in you and sometimes a fresh start is good yeah

jesus christ 30 30 times as long yeah this guy never punched anybody in the forehead that i know of so far so 2016 jets they're 5 and 11 they stink brandon only has 59 receptions so he's way down there march 8th 2017 the giants sign him so he wants to stay in new york really i remember that two-year 12 million dollar contract and uh they were fucking absolutely horrendous this year as they've been for a while now uh 3 and 13 the giants this year, as they've been for a while now. 3-13, the Giants this year. Wretched. Brandon plays in five games as 18 receptions. Oh, no.

Good God. Oh, where's Eli when you need him? That's what I'm saying. Fuck. March 2018, he partners with the University of Michigan, the rapper Logic, his wife Michi, the Steven Schwartzberg Foundation, and the actress Glenn Close. What? If that's not the most, I don't know, group of random roll the fucking. We got Glenn Close.

Is that Glenn Close? Is that Glenn Close? University of Michigan. Is that Logic? Logic's in there, I guess. Logic, stand next to Glenn Close. the fucking uh we got glenn close glenn close glenn close university of michigan there's a lot logic logic's in there i guess logic stand next to glenn close it looks weird but yeah i guess i don't know yeah it seems odd that we would do that you should do that just pepper in an athlete a great actress pretty good rapper just do that for like the next ghostbusters that's all they will don't say it because that's what'll happen even worse than the last one so he uh this is a launching a campaign titled who can relate it's a national mental health awareness campaign and uh so that's really great as a matter of fact here

he makes speeches about borderline personality as well he said that a doctor named john gunderson changed his life he said he saved my life and now he's working through me to save others. At McLean, I learned that the communication was a skill, an art form that was supposed to be taught. We didn't have that growing up. Yeah, and you also have other issues. So, yeah, the organization's slogan is the way people think about mental health is crazy. That's a good slogan. I like that.

That's a very good slogan yeah don't don't run away from that word yeah you should use it embrace it yeah he said we uh we want to take mental health from a taboo topic to an everyday conversation it's at the forefront of our country and we need to change the narrative and break the stigma very true all that's great he's going close nuts i don't know does she have issues i don't know i wonder i don't know why she's nuts but right you know i know you're just i get that was a joke people are gonna go don't say that people are nuts is she nuts like me that's what i'm saying we say that because we're nuts too so that's why so uh i didn't know if she had mental health

issues no apparently or she's at least she loves to support people. Trying to help people. Good for her. He ends up on the Seahawks in 2018. What? That's weird, right? Forgot about that. Didn't even know. Finally makes the playoffs with a team. Really? Think about that.

Wow. 10-6 Jets didn't make the playoffs. Didn't make the playoffs. Didn't make it. Ouch. Finally makes the playoffs at 10-6, and they lose in the wild card round 22 24 22 to the cowboys so uh he doesn't do very much though he only plays in seven games he has 11 receptions he's he's not really there so uh 2020 august 29 2020 this is not his fault at all this is not his fault

he's involved in an incident with security guards and local police as he's moving into his house this is fucking dude this is so shitty man yeah he's he shared the video too and it's it's you can't i don't give a shit what your anything is the guy's moving into his house with his fucking kids and they're in orlando also i believe it's in florida somewhere here that's new florida home uh he says they they call the. He says they get there. The security, I guess Marshall claims his name wasn't given to security that he was going to be moving in that day. But he had all his shit and whatever. And he had a key to the house. I got to put this stuff somewhere.

Normally, criminals don't bring a U-Haul truck and their key and the keys to the house. A U-Haul truck full of their own shit. Full of their own shit. He's going to break in and leave stuff there. no so yeah it's silly i guess they thought he was gonna steal shit i don't know what it is so he said they decided to call police and he explains to the cops how he feels in the to the security guard he says quote that's the let's give him it in their own words all right let's give him because he finally gets to like say something and it's what he wants to say so we'll give it to him uh in their own words quote this is the problem this is the

problem i come here you feel uncomfortable my first day moving into my new house because my name's not on it you call the cops now you call the cops no you're not trying to do your job there was no threat for you to call the cops this is what we're seeing every single day i got two kids in the car right now we're in weston florida one of the most affluent areas yes i know there's other black people in the area i do know that that's what he says yes i get it i know but you didn't call the cops on any of that call the cops on me the cops on this one you couldn't have made a phone call and checked up on it you know give me a fucking break here i yeah so that's brandon marshall yeah can't get enough of brandon marshall tons of stuff there's jerseys of every nine of the nine ten teams he played for and autographs and everything else or you can go out and try to support what he's doing with mental health because that is a

big issue it's a big issue and if you can support anything about that definitely do that you know we're making jokes obviously because we feel close to the whole thing but we do want people to get help and everything like that. And I also want Brandon Marshall to stop hitting women and apparently he has done that. Stop hitting women.

Keep your hands to yourself. Since he's been getting mental help he has had no arrests. I mean the one time the cops came but that that was just a misunderstanding with a thick accent. So good for Brandon Marshall. Hopefully that's all it is, is just he needed a diagnosis to understand it. Let's hope so. So anyway, there he is.

Hope you enjoyed that. If so, tell the world, get on Apple Podcasts, that purple icon, and tell them all about it. Give us five stars. It really helps out the show. I know it takes 30 seconds to do it, whatever, but we just did. That was a lot of work.
