Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is expected to only improve as the #1 guy for QB Jay Cutler to throw to this season, but off-field accusations may be getting in the way of a connection. Marshall is already recovering from a bizarre incident involving getting injured after slipping on a McDonald’s wrapper; now the DENVER POST is reporting that the NFL is looking into possible disciplinary actions after an arrest involving a possible domestic dispute with his long-time girlfriend back in March.

Rasheedah Watley claimed in an affidavit that “Marshall hit her in the mouth and left eye, leaving her with, according to the criminal warrant, ‘visible marks above the eye and a laceration on her top and bottom lip.’” Charges have not been filed, and the two have a back history of events that resulted in dropped charges.

NFL FINE SYSTEM PULLS SNOW JOB ON DENVER BRONCOS: We love this comparison pointed out by Jay Posner of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE today: “According to the Rocky Mountain News, Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall was fined $7,500 by the NFL for throwing snow in the air to celebrate a touchdown catch during a game Dec. 9.

“By comparison, Broncos safety Nick Ferguson was fined $5,000 for a low hit on a special teams play earlier this season that the league judged to be ‘unnecessary roughness.’“And speaking of snow, “Terrell Owens of Dallas wasn’t fined at all for dumping popcorn on himself while celebrating a TD.”

So throwing snow is worse than a low-bridge on special teams? And T.O. can act harmlessly goofy, but Marshall can’t? Well one thing Posner didn’t consider in the NFL’s decision - the Bronco receiver does have a bit of an off-the-track record when it comes to making (alleged) bad decisions:
