Doesn't matter, that's why the PR department failed today. The only thing it did was hurt his image. Again, he'll be fine, he's playing. But he'll take his thumps from this.

Haven't you noticed that he sorta doesn't give a **** about "taking thumps" or what you want to call it?

And on cue, Bernstein ripping Marshall.

Marshall makes a very valid point that, for example, Peggy Kuczynski can levy an accusation without regard.

It's fair. The reality is that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Some NFL players do stupid and bad shit. Some women accused prominent wealthy men of shit for money.

BOTH are true.

Marshall said let the process play out. Why is that unreasonable?

Yeah Allred is a lawyer, WTF does she want with money?

You can be cynical all you want, but the fact remains that this isn't a civil casse, and there's no money to be had. They want to expose the league as ignoring the pleas of victims. This is about the culture of "profit over everything" that seems to have reached a climax in the NFL under Goodell's watch.

Brandon should not have addressed these issues publicly. They, Phil, Mark, Jay, somebody should have stopped him.

Think about what he said. Yes, he took blame for beating his gf, but he also placed a lot of onus on her. Right or wrong, the court of public opinion won't care. He brought up numerous times how just because he's a famous athlete he can get accused of of a lot things by women. Whether that's true or not, it doesn't matter. It looks bad.

I said in a previous post, he's not at risk for any kind of suspension or anything, he's been clean for years. But I do think we'll see an apology from him soon enough. Look, this is my opinion, and I may be dead wrong. But I'm in the camp that thinks this went badly. Very badly.

Go change your tampon. Christ.

Well, I can't find an article about Marshall in any news website so it couldn't have been that bad.

95% of the people on this board would prefer a guilty person to be punished Bear or not.....you are making this up.

Don't mind Mick he loves to take a small handful of people and make exaggerated sweeping generalizations and act like everyone on here does whatever he's on his high horse about..

A caller is now discussing Borderling Personality Disorder. Of course, in addition to be a medical and legal expert, Dan will now be an expert on mental health issues.

That caller is annoying af, too. Fucking takes forever to make his point.

REALLY? I just got this text message on my phone from 670 the score

"670 THE Score Breaking News: Brandon Marshall defends himself against past domestic violence accusations, rips ESPN."


WTF?!

I listened to the whole thing and didn't get that.

While I didn't agree with everything he said (mostly respecting Goodell), I applaud the fact he said that the issue isn't domestic violence alone. The issue isn't child abuse alone. It's about our hearts and the way we treat one another. If we as people begin to treat each other better, maybe things like domestic violence and child abuse will be eradicated from society.

Broc accusing others of exaggerating is like Hitler accusing people of antisemitism.

Funny though - Bernstein was defending Gloria Allred and stating that Brandon Marshall shouldn't put himself in the middle of it because its about 'those women' and he's a distraction.

Not the same info for Allred? Why not say 'if Gloria Allred is involved, it will be about Gloria Allred. Period. Why not have Gloria suggest that the women be represented by another women's rights advocate lawyer that is unknown so the story remains about the victims and not a media firebrand like Gloria Allred'

But nope, that doesn't fit Dan's narrative.

This is the kind of fanboy-like defense of beloved sports figures I'm talking about. Why do you hold them in such high regard? We're talking about a guy who habitually abused women, and is now called a hero for not doing so anymore. **** that.

Anyone else see these tweets from Mike Wright?
1 letter to Goodell from Watley: "I wil let you know he never hurt me or hit me. I was pressured ..."

by my family to make up certain things to get money. I was told to say Brandon hit me & hurt me."

"so that I could get him to pay to keep me quiet. I want you to know he never did."
