Then it's up to the team doctor to bust his ass and make sure that he takes his medication. I take my medication regularly because I know if I don't, I won't be able to function like I should. Hey, my disorder is so bad that if I forget to take my nighttime medication, I can't even sleep and I find myself up, pacing all night long.

my wife's aunt, wasn't that bad, but the problem was she would start to feel fine and normal for several mo's b/c of the med's then decide she didn't need them anymore and would go bat shit crazy out of nowhere; then refuse to take her meds b/c she was batshit crazy.
The problem isn't his condition; it's the fact that this guy isn't responsible enough to handle it properly. He's a jag and there are better WR's out there then him, and better teammates to boot. I'd take a lesser WR and better teammate anyday, or an equal WR that is less nuts.

I know that it's possible that your affliction makes you think you and Brandon are the only two people on the entire planet with manageable mental illnesses.
But trust me when I tell you that's not the case. Not trying to argue, but it's pretty arrogant for you to forgive ALL of us for not possibly understanding that which ourselves, family members or close friends, may be going thru.

You know what? You are a son of a bitch. I don't give two shits if that's being arrogant or not. The point is that people think all people with mental illnesses are crazy, but then again, I guess you are the king of all that is holy. Shouldn't you be going back to your dungeon that is the TBS anyway? It's past your bedtime.

Who the hell, on here, ever said that "all people with mental illnesses are crazy"? Nobody. Not a fucking single solitary soul. Some said Brandon Marshall was crazy, and if you want to think that calling one specific individual crazy somehow equates to saying EVERYONE with some sort of similar affliction is crazy, you go right the fuck ahead. But, you really should try and leave everyone else out of your improperly medicated delusions. You're a great poster to have around, but once in a while you go off the deep-end for no obvious reason.
So, I'll do you one better. Brandon Marshall is crazy. You... are NOT (as you insist). So therefore, you are a douche, and those of us that believe so (and throughout your life I'm sure there are, and will be, literally hundreds) thought so long before you ever offered up being bi-polar as an excuse for being such a human clusterfuck.
Dumb ass. People wouldn't even know you WERE bi-polar if you didn't prance around and offer it up as an excuse everytime you mis-fucking-understand the god damn conversation.
Sit back and think. When "everyone" thinks your crazy, as you insist we do, you just might be. Fortunately, for you, the only person who used the word "crazy" when talking about you... is you. Snap the fuck out of it. 
Fucking Auto-Correct.

In a slightly less agressive way than Loki, I'd like to point out that broad sweeping generalizations is both what you are railing against and doing.
All that being said, I'd pass on Marshall. I'm not a big fan of distractions as they relate to team chemistry, regardless of the cause.

To quote Don Henley that's "The Heart of the Matter". (wow, can't believe I just quoted Don Henley). As Dags and I both know this is not a curable condition but it's very treatable and controllable with the right meds and a little monitoring and discipline. If he's not gonna take it seriously he'll continue to cause problems we don't need.
Although his behavior so far isn't up the the level that guys like Alonzo Spellman and Barrett Robbins have experienced he's still done and said some crazy things that indicate to me that he'd far from being in control of his emotions and mental state.
The real problem here is this may well have gotten to a "you ain't seen nothin' yet" point because his bad boy stuff seems to be accelerating. Left untreated this isn't an illness that gets better over time it just gets worse and the mood swings broader and more frequent. There are other big body WR out there and I'm sure we can find one whose name isn't Brandon Marshall.
We're just about to get ready to dump one arrogant half crazy WR and I don't think we need another. Especially not one we'd have to trade for.
