Brandon Marshall Quotations

I know there are officers who do good. There are a whole lot.

Some people don't want to rock the boat and risk being cut. They don't want to be seen as a nuisance. They say, "If I'm cut, I won't be able to make a change at all."

What I'm finding out now is that people care more about a flag than about their fellow man. That's killing me.

I appreciate America for all the opportunities it's afforded me.

I try to live by the principles the Bible speaks on.

Love your neighbor as yourself. That's what we need to adopt to be a better country.

I'm against discrimination in all forms.

There's more than just racism. There's ageism and sexism as well.

My mother and I are big domestic violence advocates.

People who aren't minorities don't know what its like to be one. Of course they'll say, "He must've done something," because they're taught to believe that if you're targeted by the police that you've done something.

I understand that you're supposed to protect a fellow officer, but when injustice is happening, it's on them to speak up as well.

I think caring more about flags than people is an issue. I'd like to see that change.

As far as police go, if officers are really that scared or timid [on the streets], maybe they shouldn't be police officers. Their job is to protect and serve and they're supposed to be the bravest of the brave.

I call him Alshon. He calls me Demaryius Thomas.

But if it comes down to next year, I'll be picketing outside of Halas Hall for a new deal, a new contract, because I'm not going anyplace.

Maybe the standards should be higher to be an officer. People will say there area high standards, but clearly they're not high enough.

The guys that are out there now like Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald they're making $16 million, $15 million a year, and I'm not looking for anything like that. A lot of that money goes to the quarterback position and rightfully so.

I wouldn’t change any of my reactions

This is going to be an old fashioned Baptist camp meeting with old fashioned singing, preaching and testifying.

If I wasn't playing football, I'd be a juvenile probation officer.

Football is easy, it's not success. To me success is being a world changer. Football is my platform but not my purpose.

It’s one thing to see yourself going across the ticker…But to take someone else down, that’s another. I really can’t even explain that pain.

Football is easy; I’ve done this since I was a baby. To me, that’s not success. Success to me is being a world changer…I say football is my platform, not my purpose. How can I use my platform to fulfill my purpose? I want people to say that he fulfilled his purpose.

I guess it hurts a little more because this is my last game.

Our goal is to win, and we know we can win. I don't think anybody understands just how hard we've worked since coach O'Leary's gotten here. When you've worked as hard as we have, you just know something good's going to come out of it. It (the losing streak) plays with your mind some, but we're determined and we're going to continue to be determined until we turn the corner.

Winning at home would be big, but we just want to end (the losing streak). It doesn't matter if it's home, away or in the back yard. We just want to end (it). We have a good chance this week.

Everyone knows about the streak, but we're approaching this as one that we really need. Each game is a must-win, really, but we've got to have this one. We've practiced hard this week and hopefully it will carry over to this game.
