MORE ON THE MARSHALL MISHAP

When it comes to McDonald’s, Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall is a guy who currently isn’t “lovin’ it.”

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Marshall’s bizarre (and, in our view, implausible) arm injury occurred when he slipped on a McDonald’s bag, stuck out his hand to brace his fall, and busted it through a television entertainment center.

Marshall’s arm will be in a cast for two weeks, and he doesn’t know how many stitches are under it.

“I want to thank everybody for their concerns and let everyone know that I’m okay,” Marshall told Schefter via a Sunday-morning text message. “Its funny because I pride myself on yac [yards after catch] and being one of the toughest players to take down once I have the ball in my hands.

“So for the next couple of days I’m going to take the time to build my confidence back up after allowing that mcdonalds bag to take me down and send me through the entertainment center.”

We don’t buy it. Not for a nanosecond. Marshall is a pro athlete. He’s got good reflexes. But we’re to assume he’s sufficiently klutzy to slip and fall on a paper bag, and sufficiently stoopid to try to brace his fall by thrust his arm toward a television entertainment center?

Besides, we still can’t figure out the logistics of the incident. Where in the hell was he walking when he slipped? On the mantle?

We’re not going to guess at what really was happening, or what he beverage might have washed down those burgers with. But we think there’s more to the story here, and the truth might or might not come out in the future.

I had his picture in and everything ready to go 3 or 4 rounds ago but I figured i could wait

MARSHALL SEVERED ARTERY, TENDONS, NERVE

We knew there was more to the bizarre Brandon “I’ll Say I Slipped On A McDonald’s Bag Because No One Will Believe I Slipped On A Banana Peel” Marshall story.

And indeed there is.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Marshall seriously screwed up his right arm when he supposedly slipped on a paper bag from McDonald’s and crashed his arm into a television entertainment center.

As it turns out, Marshall didn’t slip on a bag. Per Schefter, Marshall admitted to the team that he was wrestling with family members when the incident occurred.

Maybe coach Mike Shanahan suggested that Marshall’s version of the events would be subjected to a polygraph test, and that Marshall opted not to try to beat the machine.

pick is up folks...

saw the pic and i was like 'hey, when did the rookie draft start??'

[Touchdown Redskins]

That sucks for Marshall...I have him in a keeper league, so hopefully he can still catch. He's such a beast, but if there's nerve damage he may not be able to have the same feel for the ball again.

[KNGwithOUTaCrwN]

what a dumb-a.....lying about the fact you were wrestling?! hey, imo, wrestling is a better excuse than being a klutz....anybody else think the same way???

I got this.....

Brandon Marshall out 3 months

"Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be out three months after one of the most bizarrre offseason injuries to date.
Marshall severed an artery, vein and nerve in his right forearm along with tendons to five muscles on Saturday after slipping on a fast food bag.
Marshall, 23, underwent surgery on Saturday to suture his tendons and artery back together. He is scheduled to be in a cast for the next two weeks, then a splint for four more, before being sidelined the three-month period. At that point, Marshall can begin strengthening exercises that should enable him to be ready for training camp."

speaking of wrestling......

congrats to Iowa for once again whipping ass and winning the National Championship

I wrestled back in the day and came in 3rd in the state as a junior (HS). Unfortunately, I thought it would be smart to use soccer (my HS was so small we didn't, and still don't have a football team) as a way to maintain cardio during the off-season and blew out my knee just prior to my Senior year wrestling season. Living on the Eastern Shore didn't avail me to the highest quality knee specialists and my knee hasn't been right since. Went from talking to schools about scholarship opportunites to the military. I coulda been a contenda I tell ya........

I think you're the first person I've ever known that played soccer and wrestling in high school. That's got to be the weirdest combo ever.
