Grow up, Brandon!

Woody Paige wrote a scathing indictment of Brandon Marshall in today's Denver Post. In it, he claims that Marshall, dubbed "Baby T.O.", may live up to his nickname in more ways than one. In addition to 'horseplay' (and his subsequent lying about it), Marshall is facing DUI charges. He has a history of domestic violence.

Paige also discusses Brandon Marshall's involvement in the Darrient Williams shooting. He claims that Marshall instigated the conflict (which included spraying champagne on his interlocutors) with area gang members that culminated in William's shooting. Marshall has never discussed the incident with the media.

I think I've read this story before; it doesn't end well. The more I learn about Brandon Marshall, the less confident I am that he is a long-term solution at wide receiver. Maybe drafting a wide receiver in round 2 isn't such a bad idea after all.
