Brandon Marshall Responds To Joey Porter

It wasn't going to take Brandon Marshall long to have a few words for Joey Porter. Porter spent the post game talking about how soft Marshall was, how easy it was for defenders to get in Brandon's head.
After the day off yesterday leading up to Denver's match-up with Cleveland. Marshall was prepared to retort.
No need to build it up. Marshall's words speak for themselves --
"Yeah, Joey Porter's one of them guys, when you got guys who talk a lot of trash, just want to talk about people or put people down, they have their own insecurities," Marshall said. "And his insecurities I don't know. But he's definitely one of those guys who all those muscles are popcorn muscles. He's soft."
What about defenders being able to get Marshall out of his game?
Getting in my head? Never. He can't get in my head because I'm always trying to make plays and I'm always trying to make things happen," Marshall insisted. "I'm never shutting down. I don't care if we're down by 40 points or we're up by 40 points, I'm never shutting it down, I'm always going to try to do my best and make plays."
Of course, then there is Porter's alledged night time activites --
"You know, we hear stories floating around the league all the time about him as far [as being] in nightclubs dancing with his shirt off like a girl or in the playground getting beat up back in California," Marshall said. "He's one of those guys that no matter how big he is, he can still get knocked on his butt and he's soft. He's soft at heart and you can tell by the way he talks.
"And his nickname is 'Peezy.' I don't know what 'Peezy' is," Marshall added, then paused and leaned forward to deliver the punctuation: "Joey!"
Listen. The Dolphins got the better end of the deal because they won the game. That won't stop either one of these guys from going at it through the media and it should be fun to see this back and forth continue. Even better, depending on where both teams finish, the Broncos could play Miami in 2009.

love it?
Yeah – nothing like a young WR who hasn’t won anything calling out a pro-bowler, super bowl champ, current sack leader, and potential defensive player of the year…after losing to his team – a team that features a rather average secondary.
Yep. A lot to love there.
It’s easy to see how Marshall got the “Baby T.O.” nickname. He pouts like him, complains like him, and even wears those ugly freakin’ glasses at his post-game media availability like Owens.

Don't care how many accolades you want to give him
Porter is a punk. I just hope that when he gets his, and he will, that I’m watching. Remember, it was your thug that started the trash.

I didn’t realize that you know him personally.
Because that’s the only way to know if he’s a “punk” and a “thug.”
So tell him I said “hi” when you see him next.

Porter
is a POS. Never have liked him. Especially when he played at that little school up in Ft Collins (colo st- who is just barely better than SDSU). I am glad Brandon said something. BTW Porter isnt that tuff without his posse. He needed a posse to beat down Levi Jones in Vegas a year or so ago, cuz there is no way that little man could do it without help

Easy to come on another teams site and post junk after a win, right? Porter has always had zero class.
D13, your really think Marshall is a bigger punk than the POS punkmaster thug Joey Porter? That sea air must be getting to your head. Gees, Miami wins more than one game and you guys act like you have a parade planned.
Can’t wait until Parcells wears out his welcome in Miami just like everywhere else he has been.

I think Joey is mad...
that he had his ass handed to him by Clady, so he runs his mouth. Lets be honest, thats the only thing he has done consistently throughout his career. And what kind of sorry state is the fish franchise in, when they go 4-4 and their fans act like they really won something last Sunday? Their on the bottom of the stat pile just like us, offense and defense, and their fans are all over the message boards like they just beat the ‘85 Bears. Most fans around here are calling for the coach’s head, and ready to eat a bullet at 4-4. There lies the difference between the fish and the Broncos. Whatever. Live it up fish fans, we know this opportunity doesn’t come around often for you guys to celebrate 4 wins in the same season, so have a good time. Just glad I’m not part of that train wreck.

Wow.
Nice rant.
Oh – and I will live it up. You see – most Dolphin fans aren’t excited about having 4 wins. We’re excited about the process and the results we are seeing already. I still think it’s a longshot for the Fins to make the playoffs. But nobody thought this team could even be in the discussion at this point. Can you blame us for being excited?
But I can see why you’re angry. The Dolphins are on their way up and the Broncos are on their way down.

because they see the kind of character their “star” receiver has… Good luck with that! Baby TO!

Character?
Let’s see. Porter makes a bunch of unnecessary and derogatory remarks after the game, and that’s OK because, well golly, you know, that’s just Joey. Marshall responds with the same sort of talk (also unnecessary) and you question his character? And BTW, Marshall was just funning. Joey was being Joey, whatever that means.

The difference
i that Joey makes “unnecessary and derogatory remarks” about other players in OTHER teams wich might get something started on the media trying to get the team encouaged for a game. Marshall throws his own teamates under the bus. This time it was Cutler.

the real difference is...
…that Porter was stating a fact. Marshall is clearly a mentally soft player. He was pouting on the field and crying after the game about not getting thrown to.
Marshall’s “trash talk” – if you can call it that – was just ridiculous.

porter is right
b-marsh was sulking(shoulders and head down) and pouting the entire game, and even pumped his fists in disgust after a nice completion to stokely(what a teammate). don’t know if you guys had the same tv feed i had here on the east coast, but they had a camera isolated on marshall and allen for at least a dozen pass plays. brandon was not even open on one-on-one matches with allen, as he had him blanketed every play i saw. marshall has nothing to say right now but i need to get open. enough said
hear me, perpetrators of bread crime, your punishment is at hand.

by davecheffy on Nov 4, 2008 8:08 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Your are right on Marshall
in that the secondary played him very well. He was covered very tight and if Jay forced throws to him they probably would have been incomplete or picked off. Porter is being Porter so Marshall needs to realize that and just ignore what Porter is saying and just focus on his game and getting ready for Cleveland. Getting into this smack talk through the media with an opposing player is a waste of time. Sometime you just have to take the high road.

Marshall not getting the ball wasn’t the reason we lost, It was Cutler throwing 3 INTs and a lack of a running game.

I was going to refrain from this post
because of all the people saying that they loved Marshall’s talk, but I don’t like this at all. BMarsh didn’t do ANYTHING on Sunday. If you’re going to talk trash, at least back it up. That’s why I never had a problem with Shannon Sharpe or Romo (not Tony) talking trash, because they always backed it up. That’s also the reason why I hated it when Ray Crockett would talk trash, because the next play he’d always get burned for a 40 yard gain. And that’s also why I wouldn’t mund having Joey on our team, because he backs it up and he gets in the other team’s head.
Note to BMarsh: Next time you want to talk trash, at least make some plays first.

Yeah...
I think I’ll agree with some of y’all that he should probably just shut up. Honestly, it’s football, not a match between who can use the media best for their smack-talking. I get that Marshall decided he couldn’t let his pride be hurt like that, and I get that Porter can’t help but talk because that’s how he is, win or lose. I really have grown to hate this part of sports. “Here, this is my ego, let me throw it in your face!”, which leads to “This is my ego, and I’m going to cram it down your throat!” Somehow, this isn’t what I envisioned when I hear the word “professional.”
I think both guys should shut the hell up.

Agreed with the latest sentiments...
And as much as I love BMarsh’s potential and the Broncos in general…. some of the immaturity of the team is frankly starting to embarrass me. They are letting their star potential get to their collective heads. BMarsh, take the high road, ignore Porter’s trash talk, come back and play a solid game on Thurs. Discredit trash talk with your play on the field, young man.

A couple of ways to look at BM's comments....
I dont have a problem with the comments about the defense and Jay Cutler. After the loss, there was NO fire from ANYONE on this team….noy Jay, not Shanahan…..no one. Thats atrocious! At least BM showed some passion, some fire….thats what I want to see from our players.
The Porter comments…whatever….once again, show BM does not back down, even from a pro bowler.
I am not sure why I am hearing such negative comments from our fans on BM.
Cutler’s complete and utter lack of fire and unemotinal press conferences worries me A LOT more. I see this as BM stepping up and being a team leader.
Obviously, no one else on this team wants this mantle, particularly with Pittman on IR.

I agree boydy
I don’t know what effect BM’s comments will have, but someone needs to fire this team up. I don’t think it will be Shanahan or Cutler either.

But would you agree that there's a fine line...
…between BM’s “passionate” press conference and T.O.‘s just ridiculous ones? It’s a slippery slope. And from what I’ve seen of Marshall, he’s on his way.
I believe I even saw Marshall pouting after a pass completion to Stokely. That’s not what I’d want to see out of a WR on my team.
by Matty I on Nov 6, 2008 11:14 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Not in this case....
You are talking about a Dallas team deep in experience that does not need TO to call out the team….he does that because thats what he has always done.
We have no team leaders on the Denver, and BM had no choice in my opinion.
You probably dont watch Marshall enough, and are not aware of his status as a great team player and member of the community, including all the work he does with the local kids.

True
Matty probably only knows about Brandon from what the NFL tells him about his PAST offenses and not how he has cleaned up his act and is now a model citizen in Denver.
How much of Marshall has he actually seen?

I’m glad he’s a model citizen. I’m not saying Marshall is a bad person. In fact, I have indeed heard good things about him. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t a bad sport on the field – which is what I’ve seen from him.
by Matty I on Nov 6, 2008 9:54 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Think about what you just said
If BMarshall is a bad sport, what kind of sport is Porter for talking the way he did? I cannot believe the amount of time you have spent on here telling everyone what you think. Grow up and look at both sides, not just the one you don’t like. Yes the Doliphins won Sunday, and Yes Marshall didn’t take not being thrown to well, but Porter would most likely have felt the same way if he never recieved the ball the entire game regardless. So instead of telling everyone what a bad sport you think Brandon is, take the time to notice that just because you hear Porter call him soft, why do you automatically think it is a bad thing? Brandon Marshall being soft should be looked at as a good thing in the sense that he will have more passion about his game, fans, and community. What has Joey Porter done for you?

But you'd take him in a heartbeat...
…if you could get Marshall in a Dolphins uniform. And then everything you say about him would do a 180. Really, all of you at TP are the most biased, non-objective NFL fans anywhere. Just for fun, answer me this: What sort of vile crap were you saying about Chad Pennington a year ago?

Wow
Calling out our entire community over at TP. That’s real classy, buddy.
As far as Pennington – though this has no relevance to the topic at hand – I’ve said the same things about him as a Jet as I do now. He’s a terrific game manager. He has a very weak arm, but knows how to win games He plays smart and doesn’t make mistakes. I didn’t like Chad when he was a Jet, but I respected him as a player and a leader.
But since both myself and my community over at TP are getting bashed here, this will be my last post. I’d rather not associate myself with some who is rather classless and who is talking trash about a community he doesn’t even really know.
I came here to talk about this war of words and debate it. But you’ve shown your true colors by attacking TP for no apparent reason.
Good day.

But that's what you do
Calling out our entire community over at TP.
When the Porter/Marshall flap first arose, a Denver fan said something real negative about Porter. You replied (I forget which site) that "Denver fans were classless (or words to that effect). One person says something, and you lump us all together. Yes, I know, others said real negative things about Porter also, but you made your comment after just one.
Also, I spent a fair amount of time on your site prior to the game a week ago, and got to hear a lot of what you all say. I posted a lot of comments, and you can’t say that any of them were negative or out of line. I like to visit the site of the Broncos next opponent, and even the Raiders site is more objective than yours. Not to mention the really vile language you use at TP. That really isn’t necessary.

yep 53...
This is a team that seems mired in medicority, with no passionate leaders from players or staff that want to get it out of here.
Can you imagine Rod Smith, Steve Attwater or Shannon Sharpe accepting this garbage we are seeing now??
it should not have to be up to BM to say these things…he is not dumb….he knows he will be panned as a whiner, a pouter, a baby TO….but I honestly believe he knew no-one else would say squat.
From all things said by his team mates, he is an ultimate team player.
Maybe Cutler needs to heed some of BM’s advice and start acting like a team leader to.
Dont you wish we had Al Wilson or John Lynch back??
