After the two-week team suspension, the Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall talked to the media for the first time since his on-field hissy fit at practice Aug. 26, for which he was punished with the suspension.
However, the talk did not include topics about the suspension or personal situation or relationship with the franchise and teammates. The receiver just said that he was preparing to face the Cleveland Browns this weekend. And in order to shorten the talk and avoid being fined for non-cooperation with the media as well, Marshall chose to have the interview at the end of locker room. The entire session lasted all of 100 seconds.
Although the Broncos are still in need of the enigmatic wide receiver in order reach full potential, Marshall should realize that his desires for a new contract should be backed up by on-field results.

Broncos have not decided if Marshall will play on Saturday
The Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall missed the preseason game at San Francisco last week for attending his court case in Atlanta. Considering his recent performance, he might miss another preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night.
Marshall has been unhappy with the Broncos over their refusal to give him a new contract or trade him. He also felt upset when he knew that players were told by a staffer not to say they were happy for him after acquittal on battery charges last week. He skipped quite a few days of practices and has fallen behind of the Broncos’ new offense. Since returning to the practice field, Marshall had spent two days working almost exclusively with the scout team.
That may be the main reason why the team still hesitated in deciding whether to let Marshall play on Saturday’s preseason game. The Broncos also has not decided on whether to have safety Brian Dawkins make his debut in a broncos jersey because the player just returned to practice this week after a surgery repairing his injured right hand.

Woman testified in Broncos WR Marshall's battery case
On Thursday, Rasheedah Watley, ex-girlfriend of Denvor Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, testified in a battery case that Marshall committed domestic violence to her.
Marshall was on trial Thursday for he was charged of misdemeanor battery after a dispute with Watley at the Atlanta condominium they shared in the March of 2008. Watley told a jury of four women and two men that Marshall shoved her into furniture, carried her over his shoulder and threw her on the bed more than once and hit her in the lip. A police officer also testified that he came upon Marshall outside the condo with a bloody hand and Watley was inside with a bloody lip. Watley said Marshall did that to her just because she received a text message from a male friend.
It was not the first time Marshall was involved into a lawsuit. In March 2007, he was arrested after Watley said he used his vehicle to block her taxi. In October 2007, he was arrested for DUI. And in last September, he pleaded guilty to driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to a year of probation.
