There are certain lines you just don’t cross. Brandon Marshall says he took exception when one of them was Sunday.
The New York Jets wide receiver nearly got into an altercation with New York Giants defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins before halftime after the latter apparently made comments about Marshall’s “girl.”
“I think there are some things that are off limits,” Marshall told reporters after the game, via ESPN. “I believe in trash talk. Some guys get up for that. But some things are off limits. He made a comment about … he said, ‘my girl.’ He didn’t know I was married. There is not enough money on this Earth for somebody to disrespect my wife. I just try to take it out in between the lines. I don’t care about anything at that point.”
Jenkins apologized though, according to Marshall, which the Jets wideout was sure to acknowledge.
“The cool thing is, he didn’t know I was married, and we talked it through, and he said he didn’t mean to do it,” Marshall said. “He thought maybe I had four or five girls or something. (I’m) happily married, to one woman, my wife, Michi Marshall. And I will fight to the end for her.”
Marshall also was sure to let his wife know that he went after a 6-foot-5, 305-pound man for her, too.
“So there you go, baby,” Marshall said, looking directly into the camera. “He is 500 pounds and I went after him.”
The Jets took home a 23-20 overtime victory over the New York Giants.
