Ha ha, just saw this from Ralph Vacchiano on the tweets:

One problem: According to a team official the Giants don’t own a plane. So no apparent truth to the rumors.

From what I hear that’s an old pic. The plane has a new logo now. Either way I wouldn’t take him. Why swap one diva for another?

Thank God I caveated this and said “maybe the Giants don’t even own a plane”

Always give yourself an out, boys.

I know there are conflicting opinions but I’m all for bringing Marshall in. Brandon Marshall is not a diva. One incident doesn’t make you a diva. Especially when that incident is fueled by a team’s trainers misdiagnosing your injury, releasing false reports to the media, and a head coach who ran your QB our of town. Brandon Marshall has all the charges dropped on the domestic violence incident to so that isnt an issue. Before this did you ever hear anything about Brandon Marshall other than being a beast on the field.

I’m sorry but we are lacking in the WR department. Getting Brandon Marshall could put our offense over the top. Really turn us into a juggernaut. I guarantee you won’t hear a peep out of him, except TDs and 8+ catches a game. How can you be against that. I hope we do pick him up.

Do we really want this on our team? One or two may be forgiven, but this is a destructive trend.

  Legal trouble
According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.40

On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at “The Shelter,” a nightclub in Denver, Colorado, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. The trio was attending a birthday party held for and by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the players were leaving the club in a limousine, Williams was fatally shot in the neck after an unknown assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Willie Clark was later charged with the murder.41 Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall’s cousin earlier that night.42

On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.43 Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.44

In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.45 A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.46 He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.

On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.47 The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.46

According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded “about 11” calls to Marshall’s home since January 2006. The article stated that one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.48

A September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com stated that the solicitor’s office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10 for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. Marshall was booked on March 6, then released the next day after posting a $1,000 cash bond.49 The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court.50 On August 14, 2009, a jury in Atlanta found Marshall not guilty.51

On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell. Marshall was released on a $300 bond.52 The charges were dropped the following day

but is anyone worried about the fact that K. Philips is sitting out? I say if your even a little banged up don’t play…but i just hate having so many guys nicked up before the season b/c it’s only going to get worse.

what’s worse is that the giants are so good at keeping injuries in house we’ll never know if someone is playing hurt or not…well until the season is over and guys start going under the knife.

I’m in Denver today. Sorry; I should have put these rumors to rest earlier.

Wait, someone wants to trade for football’s Stephon Marbury?

We are not going after him anyways… So if we are going to just wish we had someone why not talk about us with Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald???

WAKE UP PEOPLE! Stop day dreaming and get back to work…

they don’t put you in jail for cat-fighting, they give you a medal :)

just kidding, just kidding, I’m not a cat fan, but I wouldn’t wish that on any animal

speaking of cats, what happened to the one I was just talking to?

if the price is right, which right now it couldn’t be lower for him…

Id take the chance. Again if that price is low enough, we could just cut bait if its that bad (so this implies we either wait it out for the season or make sure we keep the guys we have…maybe not Sinorice tho)

Marshall is a much more athletic player than Plax…he’s simply more talented. Its kind of a similar situation to Plax in Pittsburgh…

And anyone who is just going by this after the Plax situation is so fresh in their minds needs to snap back to reality.

Plaxico was incredible for the Giants his entire career. If Marshall even identical to Plax in terms of off field (late to meetings and that Coughlin type rule crap), then I’ll take it.

I mean Im one to say the Giants are fine with the guys we have, the rest of the team is that good. But Marshall is an incredible WR like Plax was and if you can get a guy like that for pennies on the dollar..you do it.
