http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sport...ns-davone-bess-isnt-giving-up-his-number.html We can put this issue to bed, there was some speculation before, and Bess even says how they talked about it....so that being said what number you think he gets??
Good for Bess! not willing to sell out shows a lot of character the jersey has meaning to him personally brandon is cool with it apparently what is the problem?
he even talked about the money too, said it(money) would have been nice...so you know Marshall offered alot.....sucks cuz you know it means alot to both players equally, to say it means more to one than the other, you cant....even if one has done more on the field with it than the other....
The only problem is the manufactured problem coming from the media. Hell if there's no controversy then they've got to make one up.
so what the number is taken by someone already here regardless of the production. that is what gets me about people complaining about this issue the number is not available marshall should stop jerking around with this and etch a number in stone it all just seems so foolish
true but marshall is dragging this out he even got fooled at the presser thinking #19 was in print already just give it closure and pick a god damn number
I'd stick with #19. Expectations can't get any higher. Figure maybe from a fan's perspective on opening day when they see #19, take a second to realize it's Marshall and have their hearts smile.
they should make a bet... whoever has the least amount of drops this season gets the number next season
OT: arsenal, have I ever told you that your signature reminds me of tyrone biggums doing his dance? (Tyrone) (panda)
If the only controversy surrounding Marshall as a Phin is what his number may be, I will be a happy camper.
i dont know if you already told him that. but i know some one has recently because i rememer seeing it.
Reporters. That's the problem. Today's reporter knows nothing about writing anything worthwhile. They try to stir up controversy and negative points any way they can.
okay but my point still is if brandon marshall would quit dicking around and pick a number the story would be dead bess has 15 it is not available don't be a diva choose a number
Had my Marshall jersey pre-ordered since we traded for him. Shipped just yesterday from NFL.com as #19. The jerseys were just announced in stock yesterday morning
I don't really believe that. This is nothing more than a reporter trying to pick at a scab for a good controversial quote. That's all they are good for these days. Whether Marshall had picked a number or not.
your ordered a jersey before he actually picked a number? You better hope NFL.com knows that's his official number for the season. You are a silly stiff not a stilly stiff!
NFL.com is selling Marshall's #19 Jersey.....for those of you who have Ginn on the back of your #19 jerseys go find yourself a good tailor and have them remove the name plate. Then you can replace it with a sewed on Marshall....it's cheaper then buying a new jersey.
He isnt being a Diva, its the media trying to portray him that way. Bess said Marshall is fine with it, this shouldnt even resemble a story.
I actually never thought much about it, until having just read Bess's explanation. Like Pandarilla mentioned, It struck me as well that $ 50,000.00 would have made a considerable contribution to his Charity. I'm not sure how many T-shirts they project to sell, but it would seem fair to assume, that along with the cash, he could have secured Brandons approval to sell T-shirts with him on them as well, and that certainly would reflected additional dollars to his charity. I don't know the details, but its good that they both handled the issue like men.
The fact that Marshall isn't making this a big problem shows to me that he's starting to grow up and "get it." I know he still has to prove it more but since he's been a Dolphin he's been nothing but a great person and teammate. Keep it up BM! As far as to why some of you wonder why this is such a big deal to some of us...it's because we want our Marshall jerseys now!
