Brandon Marshall

In the most bizarre off-season injury to date, Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall said he slipped on a McDonalds bag and wound up with his arm wrapped in a cast.

Marshall said he was at the Westgate Lakes Resort in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday and slipped and fell on a McDonald's wrapper. When he slipped, he said he stuck out his hand to brace his fall and it went through a TV entertainment center.

His right arm now will be in a cast for two weeks. Marshall also received stitches in his arm, but he did not know how many.

What he did know was that he was embarrassed. One of the league's most physical players was toppled by a plastic bag.

"I want to thank everybody for their concerns and let everyone know that I'm okay," Marshall wrote in a text message Sunday morning. "It's funny because I pride myself on YAC (yards after catch) and being one of the toughest players to take down once I have the ball in my hands.

"So for the next couple of days I'm going to take the time to build my confidence back up after allowing that McDonalds bag to take me down and send me through the entertainment center."

Marshall is scheduled to fly from Orlando to Denver on Sunday and will be at the Broncos training complex tomorrow. But he will be, at best, limited for the start of the Broncos offseason conditioning program.

I laughed my arse off when I read this (not that I believe it).

If true (which again, I doubt it is), then it ranks up there with Vince Coleman's tarp incident!

Billy, it's direct from NFL.com. If it's false, even they've been fooled.

Now if he was playing Madden 08 and he lost, and put his hand through the TV, THAT sounds more realistic!

You can tell he learned something from Rod Smith. NFL Films did a segment, with a few different players regarding their eating habits....Eddie George had a person with him at all times who prepared his food....same sorta thing with Ricky Williams(heard they drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of brownies

)

Anyways, they spoke with Rod Smith and he claimed he stopped at Burger King and ate his food in the players parking lot before the games.

I found this quite humorous....most skill players are so worried about what they are eating, yet Smith could eat fast food and still perform as well as they did.

BTW, Nutty....LOL
