 DENVER -- Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be suspended for three games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, according to a report on the NFL Network.

The report cited NFL sources. It also said the suspension could be trimmed to two games if Marshall agrees to undergo counseling.

Marshall met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in the commissioner's New York office on July 18.

Marshall is scheduled to go on trial in September after a drunk driving arrest in October 2007. In addition to that arrest, he was arrested on a domestic-violence warrant filed by his former girlfriend in Atlanta on March 6. Charges were dropped.

He has been arrested three times since joining the NFL in 2006.

Marshall caught 102 passes for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns last season.

If he is suspended, Marshall will still be able to practice during the preseason. However, he will miss the start of the regular season and can't practice after Sept. 2 while he is suspended. Denver opens Sept. 8 in Oakland, then hosts San Diego on Sept. 14.

Why can't these 'pros' realize that they need to either stay off the drugs, or get the hell out of the NFL? I would favor a zero tolerance policy. Drugs, gun, violence, and theft offences need to be punished by an immediate lifetime ban.

Think that would help?

There is a zero-tolerance policy on felonies. If you are convicted of or plead to a felony, your are automatically subject to sanctions. If you can plead down to a misdemeanor, multiple instances are required for a suspension.

Marshall is a live wire, but the guy has never been in trouble that I know of for drugs.
