Brandon Marshall Goes On Post Game Tirade, Gets In Alleged Shouting Match With Robbie Gould And Jay Cutler, Fun Times!!!

And we’re off. The fallout from yesterday’s loss should be an awesome time today. Brandon Marshall showing his “leadership” by screaming and yelling at teammates then spending the post game doing a Terrell Owens esque interview where he said the word unacceptable roughly 20,000 times. And I agree with him, that loss was unacceptable. 3-4 is unacceptable and so is being 0-3 at home, but honestly, what the fuck was this? I want the players to care, I want the losses to hurt as much as it does for fans but this was so stupid. Brandon Marshall is pissed off because Cortland Finnegan ate his lunch yesterday. He’s mad because his numbers are down. Maybe this was an intentional interview to motivate Cutler? I don’t know, they obviously have a very tight relationship through the years. But from the outside looking in, for a fan with no access, this doesn’t seem like a great way to lead a team. Getting in front of a microphone and going on a tirade, yelling at the kicker, who is a pretty well respected guy in that locker room, yelling at your quarterback, it just seems like it’s all for show and is wildly unnecessary. And People warned us that this would be coming from Brandon Marshall if things went south, well here’s your first glimmer of it. 3-4 is bad but what this team is heading for with a date against the Patriots and then the Packers could be a hell of a lot worse. The wheels could be rapidly coming off the truck here, there’s no sugarcoating it.

Oh and I don’t want to be “that guy” because I’m a firm believer that players should get to do whatever they want with their free time, but there is something inherently backwards with Brandon Marshall talking about unacceptable performances and how this team has underperformed when he spends every Tuesday flying to and from New York for his Inside the NFL show. Does any other player in the league do something like that? Basically work a full day every week in a different city than the one he plays in? Don’t think so. That type of hypocrisy seems pretty unacceptable if you ask me.
