Wait Wait Wait, there is another Brandon Marshall who plays for the Broncos who is accused of domestic abuse?
Quick someone tell me last week's lottery numbers.

CaptainLaddie said:I mean... isn't this old news?
On top of this, isn't it well-documented that Marshall has a ton of mental issues that were undiagmosed at the time and could very well be where all of this stemmed from?
That's not a defense or an excuse, but Marshall's got a major mental disorder.
Edit: ahh. So this is about Goodell, not Marshall.
riboflav said:This is not going well. Would've been better if a reporter had happened to track them down and reported their story. The press conference looks too staged like they're trying too hard.
dcmissle said:She will only strengthen owners' support for Goodell.
It will be like Martha Burk vs Hootie Johnson x 1,000,000
Drocca said:The relevant revelation revealed is the unanswered letter. Point being, when victims and their families have reached out to the NFL it has been ignored.
"She's just not here," Gloria Allred on why the primary victim is not there.

RE: Brandon Marshall news RT @RyFo18: they are alleging that goodell was contacted about the abuse and never did anything
YTF said:Clearly they're jumping on Goodell here and I'm not disputing anything said by those speaking, but back then they contacted Marshall's employers over his actions? They wrote letters to the NFL commissioners? What if anything were the legal ramifications from these incidents? My beef back then would be FIRST AND FOREMOST with the police.
So you're saying it will all go according to her plan then.Average Reds said:
This was my thought when this thread was started.
Her decision to pile on at the precise moment when Goodell was most vulnerable will only strengthen him. Even worse, it will deflect attention from the actual problem of DV and make it all about Gloria Allred.
DrewDawg said:I bet Marshall thinks this is about Marshall though.
Allred is so bad.
Yes and apparently Brandon had often left the scene before the cops got there. Really? WTF is that?soxhop411 said:The victims DID file police reports
Corsi said:This dog and pony show is silly. Old school thinking from Allred with this press conference. Just feed this story to a reporter and let it run wild on Twitter. It wouldn't seem so contrived.
Actually she has her own Judge Judy type show. That's how relevant she is in her profession these days.86spike said:
but then Gloria wouldn't get to be on TV.
Yup..YTF said:Yes and apparently Brandon had often left the scene before the cops got there. Really? WTF is that?
They called Goodell for his current whereabouts and are still waiting for a return call...YTF said:Evidently the cops had no idea on how to find this guy?
Chemistry Schmemistry said:At some point, people are going to notice that, so far, it's African-American players losing their jobs. Maybe Allred can dredge up something different, but if it is Brandon Marshall (who has done a lot of maturing in recent years) and a seven-year-old incident, we may already be near a tipping point for this approach.
I have noticed this. Goodell's desire to police the criminality of the players - a centerpiece of his tenure - has more than a whiff of wanting to keep "those people" in line.Chemistry Schmemistry said:At some point, people are going to notice that, so far, it's African-American players losing their jobs.

I don't see how Roethlisberger's suspension in the face of zero charges jives with this interpretation.OilCanShotTupac said:I have noticed this. Goodell's desire to police the criminality of the players - a centerpiece of his tenure - has more than a whiff of wanting to keep "those people" in line.
