Is the Denver post out to get Marshall ?

[dekers]

Is it just me are does it seem like the Denver Post has found him guilty ? I mean everyday they write a new article on what he has already been accused of. Its like they want the NFL to suspend him , :crazy: and Bronco fans to try and force the Broncos to release him ? What the hell is going on at the Denver post ? Lindsay H. Jones is making this a Personal vendetta. 4 articles in the last four days about the same thing what gives? Am thinking this woman has her self been a victim of abuse , and has already found him guilty.

yeah, we don't like the truth, or accountability in denver anymore, lets pretend like nothing is going on, lets pretend like he doesn't have rocks for his brains, lets forget that we have a pattern emerging from our front office, lets forget all of it

13-3 superbowl is all you need to know!

or better yet, lets pretend we are a fan of a team that all we do is criticize and cast stones instead of just enjoying it! tahts what i want to do.

[PRBronco]

I'm serious wolf should be on several watchlists. I bet he has a friggin bomb workshop.

And yes, the denverpost has turned into quite the asswipe, quite disappointing :( Good to see the RMN seems to have picked up the slack though.

Controversy and negativity sell newspapers. It's the offseason and there's little news that sparks interest in football, so they're cashing in on this. It's business; nothing more, imo.

it bleeds it leads. I think that the Broncos are always story number 1A in Denver and when a young star is in trouble it's going to get more coverage.

But on a side note, I do think that there is "problem" between Culter, Marshall and Woody. Woody been know to make some off the wall comments about them that make you think something occurred.

Where Wabbit when you need him.

[fontaine]

I know how to fix this.

Now that Marshall got rid of his ex shakedown girl friend, he should start dating Lindsay Jones and pop here in the mouth.

That oughta shut the b*tch up right?

[Northman]

Didnt work with his ex so i dont think thats the answer. lmao

wow @ that poll.

I will be seriously pissed if they cut/trade him, give the young fellow a chance to straighten out his life, the "bad characters" the Broncos have been cutting have all been given 2nd and 3rd chances and deserved to be cut. Now if its November and he gets arrested the Saturday before a game, then yes, fine, cut his ass. But, I will err on the side of moderation at the moment.

[2KBack]

Blueflame and elsid nailed it. Not long a go media outlets discovered that negativity sells. The days of the local celebrities getting their mistakes swept under the rug are gone. They'll bleed this story until someone else slips up.

The sad part is not that there are a lot of articles about this crap. Marshall did bring it upon himself. What's annoying, is that if Marshall never gets in trouble again, there won't be any stories about redemption or taking control of his life. They'll just latch on to another drama.

[Man-Goblin]

It is interesting, though, that they are assigning their supposed beat writer to break all of this news. They even sent her to Atlanta last week to investigate. You have to wonder if this is going to affect her ability to cover the team. Not only Marshall, but other Broncos will be wary of her.

If I remember correctly, they used to have a general news reporter break and investigate sports figures' personal problems.

Of course, we know Schefter woudn't have done it because he was too cozy at Dove Valley, and Burger Bill was probably too busy eating hot dogs.

[montrose]

Working in the media field, there is a fine line between unbiased journalism and "selling". That being selling an article to make it jump off the page and be of interest to read. I've been thinking about this over the past few days with some of the Marshall articles, while I don't believe the Post is out to get him - they have taken a few liberties with article titles and structures that seem to implicate him a bit more than I would consider to be unbiased. With that, this is generally standard protocol when reporting on charges of African-American athletes where our society typically finds them guilty until proven innocent.

As per Woody and Marshall/Cutler, I've only been living in Denver for about 6 weeks now but I've already heard numerous stories about the duo. Nothing illegal or terrible, mostly tales of drunken stupidity down at the Sports Column or LoDo's, but it's possible Woody could've caught wind of this and being an old school reporter - not thought too much of it.

I haven't heard anything recently, but I know for a fact that last season Cutler was a regular at a few bars and he was pounding the sauce. He never drove home, but it just seems weird to do that during the season. I think the 'beetus had him scale things back.

I have heard the same thing. I heard he could be quite the douche at the clubs. Haven't heard much lately. Shocking a guy actually answering the wake up call!

He was pretty nice to some friends of mine. The bar was closed and they kicked everyone except for him out and he let them stay and drink with him.

Depends on who's calling........

That's pretty much it right there. They either want something extremely positive, or extremely negative. Stories that fall in the middle won't have as much interest.

[Kaylore]

I don't drink so I really don't know, but I do know it was a club with a bar and not "a bar." They tend to close earlier than bars do.

That is nothing that Elway did not do during his playing days.

I know. I wasn't judging him or anything. Just saying there is truth to the rumors. I mean if you go drinking in public places people will see you and talk about it. It's going to happen.

[NW Bolt Fan]

Y'all can just hope a shot at public indignance lights a fire for Marhsall. Proving people wrong can be a great motivator.

My experience if you're drinking after the bar shuts down you're usually drinking with the staff for free. I usually throw some money on the table when I leave to keep the opperunity open for the next time.

The only pattern emerging here is YOU.......angry, whiny, repetitive and drunk.
Get a grip, seek help then take a trip.........to anywhere that has padded walls, rubber sheets, and no internet service.

Elway used to have freedom to go out and booze it up. Even to break curfew. Didn't slow him down much did it.

As for the Post, I laugh if anyone thinks there is such a thing as journalism in our day and age. An unbiased reporter is the funniest **** ever.

Both are simply young men... fallible young human beings who are capable of making mistakes.

I just looked at your post count, and was a little surprised. You've certainly garnered a lot of ill will for only having 750 posts.

I still don't have any idea why you call yourself a Bronco fan.

All that needs to be remembered is the relentless smear campaign on college student athletes that occurred a few years ago in Boulder. The Denver media is completely shameless and in most cases career/vendetta driven.

Yes, Mr. Elway was very fortunate to have played in the 80's, let's just put it that way.

Right. At one time, the RMN had five straight articles about Javon Walker.

I'm not overly pleased with either paper right now.

I am really suprised that the majority of those polled want him gone. Heck, I'm a "hater" and I don't want to see him go. Make no mistake, its only because he's a heck of a player... the most complete player at WR we've ever had... and he's a team guy on gameday. I really hope he gets his **** together.... but if he leaves I won't be crying either. The rediculous story about the arm, followed by the more rediculous revised version does not sit well with me.

[Hogan11]

I just want him to get healthy, grow up and act like a professional....you know, for a change...like the change he repeatedly says he's going to make every other time a mic is put in front of his face. I'm in total "show me" mode.

[Greybeard]

I guess I just get bored easily when reading about nothing but an Oakland Raider over the course of a week's time . . .

[Popps]

Again, I've got no doubt these media outlets (take your pick) are trash. But, that's not an all together new phenomenon. Perhaps magnified by the internet, but not new.

Aside from that, ask yourself... how is it that Champ Bailey, John Lynch and Tom Nalen manage to avoid being picked on by the big bad media?

Just speculation, here... but could be be because they're pros with good heads on their shoulders and not total dum****s, slap-fighting with their girlfriends and punching holes in TVs?

I'm going to be highly judgmental and go ahead and say yes.

[Florida_Bronco]

I've been gone for awhile...what happened to Gonzo? Link?

The douchebag finally overstepped his bounds and TJ brought the ban hammer down on him. Here is the thread where it happened.

Dammit here it is 8 on the East Coast and I got home a half hour ago. Who broke the law...definitely not me, I love the laws.

[Needa Pass Rush]

You really have to ask yourself why Marshall and Watley still have anything to do with each other. The odds of that relationship ending well have to be almost zero.

[El Guapo]

I cant believe that poll. :nono:

[Meck77]

Is the post out to get Marshall? Maybe but this kid sure does find a way to rack up tickets and court dates.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was ticketed on June 12 for making an illegal lane change, according to Denver County Court records.

Marshall was stopped on northbound Interstate-25 between Broadway and Santa Fe Drive and also ticketed for not having his driver's license or proof of insurance, the court document says.

Marshall is scheduled to be arraigned on July 24, according to the records.

The ticket was first reported today on completecolorado.com.

Dating to Oct. 31, 2004, Marshall has had a series of arrests and citations for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, domestic violence and drunken driving.

[epicSocialism4tw]

The Post just knows that people like sensationalized finger-pointing.

Look at how Marshall is treated here. Every thread gets a gazillion replies. The Post is trying to sell papers.

Its cyclical, see. They say it, you think it, you say it, they say it again.

Its like one big gossip circle.
