Slow news day

with the offseason so far, guess that’s a good sign.

Kiszla

pretty critical of Marshall without showing the same to the Broncos:

After producing 104 receptions last season despite playing through a hip injury whose full extent went undiagnosed by the Broncos, Marshall is rehabilitating from recent arthroscopic surgery that will also require him to mend concerns regarding medical treatment from the team, if you believe his agent.

I personally don’t know how you take multiple scans of a guy’s hip, call it fine and this is called “undiagnosed” instead of “lying”.

I like how he talks about Marshalls concerns regarding medical treatment and qualifies it with “if you believe his agent.” Look, you put down the fact that Marshall now distrusts the medical staff. You didn’t write, “the medical staff sucks”, an opinion which would have required qualification.

Man, it’s crap like this that gets these situations blown out of proportion in the first place. Marshall isn’t holding out, he’s recovering from hip surgery, and he wasn’t expected to be ready to practice until training camp in July. So what is the big deal?

Lorenzo Neal

I’m really upset that the Raiders signed Lorenzo Neal. It scares the hell out of me. I can’t believe that he didn’t get a job earlier or with a better team, but everywhere that guy goes, the team just seems to win.

It’s probably much ado about nothing, but it’s a bad sign.
