Bored Media Proliferates Meaningless Story

For those of you who didn't read it at the 63,000 other media sites that can't stop talking about it, Brandon Marshall slipped on a McDonald's wrapper and is in a cast. This is expected to have no impact on his preparedness for the 2008 season.

In related news, his DUI proceedings were postponed. I was going to show you the oft-played film of Brandon Marshall AT his DUI hearing IN his cast (how's that for killing two birds with one stone), but decided I'd rather watch some sick Brandon Marshall highlights instead, enjoy:

The Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall Show

UPDATE: And so the drama continues. Adam Schefter, Chief NFL propagandist, (the same guy who, falsely, said Eli would miss 6-8 weeks with his separated shoulder in 2007) is reporting that Marshall's injury was (a) not caused by a McDonald's bag and (b) much more serious than originally reported. This will reportedly have no impact on his preparedness for the upcoming season. So relax and watch the sick highlight video.

UPDATE #2: The whole story was fabricated to spare Marshall the humiliation of admitting he was rough-housing with a relative (who knows if that's even the correct story). Anyway, Adam Schefter is exonerated (for now). Marshall's injury was pretty serious, but he's not expected to miss the start of training camp.
