Brandon Marshall Rips Lions, Detroit's Financial Woes
DETROIT (97.1 THE TICKET) - Brandon Marshall called the Lions "little brother" and their play "borderline illegal."
During a radio show in Chicago, he said, "I got a nasty taste in my mouth with these guys," he said. "These guys are difficult to deal with."
He added that Chicago has more "bad blood" with the Lions than with any other team.
"Borderline illegal," Marshall said of the Lions' defensive play against an injured Jay Cutler. "And I'll say this, man. I'll attach my name to it. When I'm looking at film today, it was kind of disgusting to see their d-line go out of their way to knock our quarterbacks down after every single play. Ya know? The ball was gone. They're pushing him down. They're hitting him below the knee. It was kind of disgusting.
"So it seemed like it was game-planned. But it was borderline. You can't say it was illegal. But it was definitely one of those things where you say, 'Hey, we've got to pay attention to this.'"
He also takes a shot at Detroit's money woes. So is he a sore loser or does Marshall echo what folks say around the league?
