@A_Cromartie31 Sorry for the joke man. No hard feelings. DB's & QB's have a hard time getting along I guess sometimes. lol

Brandon Marshall stabbed by his wife and his life in perpetual chaos

http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast

The Miami Dolphins traded two second-round draft choices for wide receiver Brandon Marshall last year and gave him a four-year, $47.5 million contract extension.

Two days ago, Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, speaking about the disadvantage of not having a second-round pick next week, said the exchange was worth the hassle.

"Yeah, you wish you had it, for sure," Ireland said, "but I know I got a great player out of it, too. So last year that was the right thing to do, and I'm glad we got the player."

I wonder if Ireland is rethinking that stance.

Marshall's ongoing off-field drama continued Friday, when his wife allegedly stabbed him in the stomach. Marshall had surgery at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and was expected to make a full recovery.

His wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, was arrested for domestic aggravated battery with a deadly weapon -- a kitchen knife. She admitted to the stabbing and claimed it was in self-defense. She was released on bond Saturday afternoon.

Marshall's problems are incredible. He has cheated death at least twice.

Sports Illustrated recently reviewed the murder of Denver Broncos teammate Darrent Williams on New Year's Day, 2007. The in-depth narrative called Marshall the shooter's target and depicted him as an evasive witness.

Much of his issues stem from relationships with women.

An ESPN investigation for "Outside the Lines" in 2009 (video clip below) found Marshall had been involved in seven cases of alleged domestic violence in three states and Puerto Rico. The report featured 911 calls from multiple women, arrest reports and mug shots.

He was arrested for disorderly conduct after a domestic dispute with Nogami-Marshall, then his fiancée, in 2009. The police officer reported seeing them "engaged in a fight, kicking and punching each other." The charges were dismissed.

Thirteen months later, they were married. Marshall said his relationship with Nogami-Marshall, a psychology major at Central Florida, had changed him.

"She is turning my life around," Marshall told Miami Herald writer Michelle Kaufman in April 2010. "I am a very passionate, emotional person, and she is teaching me to channel that. My life is so much calmer now."

Other charges in Marshall's past include assaulting an off-duty police officer while at Central Florida and DUI.

Ryan Leaf has tumor removed in brain surgery (maybe that is why he sucked so bad)

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was recovering in California on Tuesday after doctors removed a benign tumor from his brain stem.

The 35-year-old Leaf had been experiencing headaches, dizziness and blurred vision before seeing a doctor May 18, his publicist, Margo Myers, told The Associated Press. He had surgery a week later at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., and was released Saturday.

''I am looking forward to resting a bit and being with my family,'' Leaf said in the statement. ''This was just another bridge for me to cross, and I will continue to live each day to the fullest and give back where I can!''

Leaf, a Great Falls, Mont., native, starred at Washington State, and the San Diego Chargers made him the second pick of the 1998 NFL draft. He played for the Chargers from 1998-2000 and for the Cowboys in 2001.

He threw for 3,666 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career, but is considered one of the league's biggest busts.

In April 2010, Leaf pleaded guilty to eight felony drug charges in Texas and received 10 years of probation. He was at West Texas A&M coaching quarterbacks at the time.

Leaf just recently finished writing a draft of his first of three books he's penning for Crimson Oak Publishing, a Pullman, Wash.-based publisher - about his life, football career and addiction to painkillers. He also writes a column for his alma mater's website and sells resort packages in British Columbia.

Leaf also spends time talking to groups about his addiction.
