McDonald's *IS* bad for you! NFL'er gets cast and stitches after slipping on wrapper
The physical Denver wideout will have his arm in a cast for at least two weeks after slipping on a fast food wrapper, NFL.com reported. When he slipped, Marshall reached his arm out to brace his fall and it went through a TV entertainment center. That injury required stitches.

"I want to thank everybody for their concerns and let everyone know that I'm okay," Marshall wrote in a text message Sunday to NFL.com. "It's funny because I pride myself on YAC (yards after catch) and being one of the toughest players to take down once I have the ball in my hands.

"So for the next couple of days I'm going to take the time to build my confidence back up after allowing that McDonalds bag to take me down and send me through the entertainment center."

There was no immediate word on whether any NFL defensive coordinators were looking to sign Ronald McDonald or the Burger King as a way to slow Marshall during the season.

1. "Please put trash in it's place." Which is, not on the floor.
Now, will he sue McDonalds, the wrapper manufacturer, the owners of the place he's staying at, the maker of the entertainment center or God for making his skin not so much like iron?

2. Have you seen the White Castle commercial with the Grim Reapor?
While waiting to collect the soul of an old man, the GR gets a call from White Castle and has to go satisfy his craving, letting the old man off the hook.

At the end of the commercial the GR is standing in back of this dude at White Castle who orders like ten hamburgers, and the GR puts his hand on the guy's shoulder and says, "Excellent decision".

Now, is it me, or is the message of this commercial eating at White Castle will kill you?
