Horse Tracks - Wednesday, August 6th
Here's a Wednesday edition of Horse Tracks. Enjoy!
Well, we all know by now about Brandon Marshall's suspension, but there were other stories that hit too.
Tom Nalen's knee is still a hot topic. See here
Here are some notes on camp and a story on Spencer Larsen. What a wild few weeks for him! See here and here
Matt Prater continues to impress, having hit 44-45 kicks in camp
Foxworth is taking charge in camp this season. See here
Bernie Lincicome feels the Marshall punishment makes little sense.
The fine group of DenverBroncos.com bloggers continue to break down Training Camp

AROUND THE NATION
The divorce is complete in Green Bay
Gary Baxter, who blew out both knees against the Broncos in 2006, had more surgery as he continues to try a comeback.
It's never to early to be keeping an eye on teams we'll be playing early in the season, like the Saints, for instance.
These guys believe that 2 games missed by Marshall is worse than Javon Walker tanking it for the whole season. Classic!

Great stuff as always Mdierk
The Linicicome article is funny and absurd. The comments section is hilarious, with people putting Linicicome in his place. He jumps straight to the conclusion that we’ve now lost three games, claims he doesn’t know what the suspension is for (before mentioning the three arrests, as well as leaving out everything else), and makes it hard to determine if his view is real or if he’s just being sarcastic to have fun with everyone.
Where he does get it right is the “National Favre League” comment. I wish GB would just bench the guy. Now Favre will get what he wants: instead of finishing on top and being remembered as a great he’ll go down as a flip flopper who abandoned his team.

Some notes on Marshall
I just herd on ESPN that Marshall’s lawyer said he will appeal the suspension, I find that interesting considering the wording the nfl used when they suspended him “If Marshall fully complies with required counseling and other conditions of the suspension, Commissioner Goodell will consider reducing the suspension to two games.” I thought this was hinting at BM not to appeal but just take the class, cause even an appeal would get 1 game knocked off? If anything an appeal might just irk the head office. Your thoughts?

Does anyone know what the "other conditions" are?
Do they even include the denial of appeal? That seems awful heavy handed to me.

I haven't read the conditions...
..but I think an appeal is very unwise. It does strike me as not complying fully, not accepting responsibility, and jeapordizing that third game suspension. Just as some player agents can stir up trouble, I think an attorney can too. I think Brandon should let this go, serve the two (it’s a slap on the wrist), and move on.
