Brandon Marshall's response on the Dan Patrick Show to Warren Sapp calling him a [profanity deleted].

"That's really disappointing to hear that from an NFL legend, but I'm going to take this as a lesson, and I think we can all learn from this: Be very careful who you take advice from," Marshall said. "You want to surround yourself with good people, Godly people. When I look at Warren Sapp, I can't go to him and talk about finances because he filed for bankruptcy. I can't go to him and talk about my marriage because he filed for divorce. I can't go to him and talk to about being a great father when one day I have children because he's not active in his children's life. So the lesson we should all learn here is surround yourself with good people and be careful who you take counsel from. I'm not saying he's been there on my side giving me counsel, but that's not a guy that I can go to.

"You know, football doesn't make us. There's more to life than just playing football, so make sure you have a great balance in your life and surround yourself with good people. And guys like Warren Sapp, you know, I feel sorry for. Hopefully one day he'll change his life, we'll pray for him and instead of using words to destroy, he'll use words to uplift. So God bless you guys and have a great day."

I dunno about you guys but I relished this moment. Go Marshall!

After reading it all and why he did that, I can't blame Marshall for saying all that. I used to really like Sapp but I think he's a D now.

That was impressively insightful and articulated from Brandon Marshall. Well done. Instead of becoming livid and cursing out Sapp he took an adult approach to it and just carved up Sapp with logic.

I love logic.

Good for Brandon. I am not a really huge fan of his but I do respect him for taking that high road. And he makes a lot of really good points.

Warren Sapp? I lost all respect for him a long time ago.

I didn't know Marshall can articulate this good; totally suprising and face-pawned for Sapp....

However, whatever he said is the truth too; watch out what kind of friends you are hanging around with cuz they will directly or indirectly affect your decision in life.

Great advice for kids; choose the right friends to befriend with.......

PS: don't hang out with Sapp lol

Reminds me of the time Brandon Marshall told reporters that Joey Porter has "Popcorn Muscles". Good times. Good job on both Brandon!

From what I've seen and heard of Marshall he is very articulated a bit like pollard, doesn't look but man are you shocked when they speak. That's while I pity him with the illness he has, to me it really does seem to affect him some times.

Not sure why, but Marshall has issued an apology.

I wouldn't have. Sapp can be a verbal abusing bully, the fine model to society that he is...
