A guy with the name Mushnick shouldn't be throwing stones at anyone. Obviously this is a guy who went to MORONatti's school of journalism.

Marshall could start an OT thread and Ommy wouldn't get mad. This guy can suck it.

I'd like to start seeing journalists being held responsible for shit like this.
Not for us. We obviously know of Brandons past. But we also know what he has been since has has come to Chicago. Which is nothing short of amazing on and off the field.
But some of his readers in New York might not know and may take his word as gospel. And that is very unfair to Brandon.

It's the New York Post. That's like, the run and shoot of the newspaper world.

I read the NY Post most every day, and am very familiar with Phil Mushnick. Most of the time he makes fun of announcers and sports talk show hosts that make statements that are incorrect or bad predictions. Some of it is funny, I think that is the goal. He is like every other guy out there, looking to write something that people are going to read, and try to stir things up.
Brandon Marshall is a freak in that most guys that get themselves into trouble a lot (i.e. wide receivers) never change. Brandon Marshall has been like a saint since he came to Chicago.
Sportswriters will be sportswriters, end of story. They do their thing.

You read the post every day?
NY post, not the Washington post?

I have, but only because I'm a pro wrestling fan. Mushnick has waged a one-man crusade against the perceived evils of the wrestling industry in the pages of the New York Post for upwards of two decades now. Every time a wrestler dies, evev if he never worked for WWE, Mushnick writes a column basically hanging the McMahon family in effigy.

This is like calling for family values and then playing footsie in a stall or going on a holiday 'hike' in the mountains. Guy is a dirt bag calling out a reformed dirt bag with a valid reason for his former actions instead of praising him for turning it around, helping his team get better beyond his own play and others to get the help they need.

So we've come to it's OK to wrongfully slander because everybody does it. For someone not as intimately familiar with Marshal as Bear fans, he'll be viewed as having never changed when his actual influence on his surrounding over the past 3 years have been hugely positive.

Who the hell is this guy? And why should I care that he obviously hasn't paid any attention to Marshall for the last 4 years

Yes, Marshall had his issues earlier in his career. To his defense, he actually has a MEDICAL issue that may be the cause. As someone who had a mother with borderline, I can tell you that shit ain't no joke.
But let's look at Marshall - NOW - TODAY:
- He apparently has become a Christian. Now, you can decide what that means, but hey, since he has, he's clean his shit up. Dude has been a model citizen since coming to the Bears.
- He's incredibly photogenic. Great looking dude who dresses very cool. That makes for good TV.
- He's got the gif of gab. Never a lull when he's on NBC on Sunday nights.
- He's a great analyst of the game (when he does the telestrator thing with Laurence Holmes).
- He's on the best players in the game today.
- Dude has swagga
So with that, why WOULDN'T they want him on tv? What other receivers? A guy who is suspended (Morgan), a guy who dresses like he's at a WuTang show (Green), a guy who is boring, quiet and really has nothing to say (Megatron)? The only other receiver I can see being a possible option with the swagger, camera-friendliness, etc is Victor Cruz.
B Marsh is a no brainer for that sort of gig. Peanut would be as well.
Anyone hear Patrick Mannelly on The Score at camp? Dude was awesome.

I was blown away by how smooth and composed he was - on his first day. I'd imagine most folks would be shitting bricks. Dude was a pro.
But I much prefer watching LaDanian Tomlinson on NFL Network. His alliteration and command of the language reminded me of a young Eric Dickerson!

I contacted Phil Mushnick and his response was:
- the gripe seems to be with the word "miscreant" in the headline. I don't write the headlines. Wish I did. Thanks - mushnick
I just wrote back and told him it goes a bit deeper than that. We feel that it should be noted that Marshall has reformed and been a model citizen on and off the field for the last few year.
