LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Borderline Personality Disorder (PBD) has struck Brandon Marshall’s relationship with his wife Michi Nogami-Marshall, the NFL star told news today. Borderline Personality Disorder is treatable, Marshall said during a news conference Sunday. The issues between Michi Nogami-Marshall (photos below), aka Michi Nogami-Campbell or Michi Nogami, and Brandon Marshall have dominated news for years, allegations of stabbing, assaults, and more. But Marshall today said that all those allegations are false, that investigations of his wife have been unwarranted. He also said that he has been cooperative with investigators, even though they claimed he had not.

The couple began dating in 2008, and got engaged at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii the following year. But in 2010, a police report asserted assault allegations against both Michi and Brandon. As to Brandon, “[the officer] observed Mr. Marshall grab Ms. Nogami-Campbell by her shirt and pin her up against the wall”. As to Michi, “Ms. Nogami-Campbell then began kicking and hitting Mr. Marshall” claimed the officer.

Brandon Marshall, however, today said that he is the only one with an issue that is being treated, not his wife. “Out of respect for my marriage and for my family and where we are at today, I will not go into any details of any situation” he began the news conference. He eventually did go into the details, though.

In April 2011, Michi Nogami-Marshall was arrested for allegedly stabbing Brandon Marshall in the stomach. She was booked, with a mug shot, and released on a $7,500 bond on Saturday April 23.

She alleged took a kitchen knife, cut up Brandon’s abs, landing him in emergency surgery and weeks of recovery. Brandon was accused of lying to police, telling them that his wound was the result of falling on a broken glass vase. When cops couldn’t find the vase, they booked Nogami-Marshall. But his rep told news to stay out of his business. Today, Marshall decided to go on the offensive against news reports and prosecutors.

Today, Brandon said he was not stabbed, that he did in fact fall on the glass vase. “But I want to make it clear that my wife did not take a knife and stab me.”

Prosecutors then in June claimed that Brandon Marshall was not cooperative. “Despite numerous efforts, we so far have been unable to get Mr. Marshall to agree to voluntarily speak to our office about the incident. We continue to diligently pursue this matter.” Brandon Marshall today also called that false. He claims he let them see the vase.

“I made the glass available to the detectives so that they can make their right decision which had my blood and skin still on it.”

He then began to speak about his talents and his affliction. “My story has played out physically in the media since I stepped out on the NFL field. It was hard for me to understand that someone so blessed … it was hard for me to understand to feel what I felt.” He added “this is the most stigmatizing disorder out there. It is very treatable. With the right treatment, program, the right treaters, one treated with BPD can lead a health life.”

He added “I cannot articulate how I have lived and it has effective my life… the way she had addressed the situation with grace and love. She had exhausted herself to help me and this is where we are at today.”

In June, Broward State Attorney’s Office spokesperson Veda Coleman-Wright confirmed that a restraining order was already put in place since the April matter, demanding that Nogami-Marshall stay five hundred feet away from her husband. Michi didn’t. She reportedly stayed in Brandon’s home. In June, Brandon returned back to the couple’s Southwest Ranches home.

Prosecutors claim that a dispute erupted and a 911 call was made from the house to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The 911 caller hung up. Immediately, response personnel went to the house. There they found Nogami-Marshall with Brandon, and she arrested her at 11:30 am for violation of the restraining order. The arrest report said she “clearly violate the pre-trial conditions pursuant to the order to stay 500 feet away from the residence and to ‘not’ have contact”.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – An Antonio Cromartie Raiders deal is being pursued, claims reports. Antonio Cromartie still has a Jets offer; but the Raiders and a possible third team are now making the move on Antonio Cromartie claims multiple NFL reports Sunday.

Today’s news about Cromartie’s possible Raiders deal is roughly one year after Cromartie drew national headlines for his HBO interview. In that interview, he discussed having seven kids with six mothers, in five states.

He told HBO about his financial constraints at the time. “I have seven kids in five different states. I made some wrong decisions my first two years in the NFL, and now I have to take that responsibility to be a father. I need to deal with my kids and child-support issues. Those things are being taken care of. I’m going to be the best father to them that I can.”

In March last year, New York news claimed that the Jets had to front $500,000 of her $1.7 million salary this year to “clean up his lingering paternity issues”. The Jets would not confirm nor deny the report. Last year was his final year of a five year $12 million contract.

Multiple reports claim the Jets have offered Cromartie a new deal. Terms of the deal have yet to be revealed. And Jason La Canfora of NFL.com reports the Raiders have also commenced negotiations. Bill Williamson claims Cromartie “won’t be cheap, either. The Jets want him after losing out on Asomugha, so the price tag will be high.”

Cromartie has another item to consider. The Raiders are the perceived frontrunner to move to Los Angeles for the new Farmers Field. As reported first on LALATE, the construction contract allegedly requires the NFL team to make the move to Los Angeles by fall 2012 (and play at the Rose Bowl or Coliseum) before construction can begin.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Peyton Manning and the Colts reached a new $90 million deal this weekend. Manning will get $69 million in the first three years of his contact. But his annual salary will match the league’s record, $18 million, also being paid to Tom Brady.

Manning’s contract will be five year, $90 million deal, compared to Brady’s four year $72 million deal. Yet, Colts owner Jim Irsay said Peyton’s recent injury played no role in contract negotiations. Manning will be thirty-nine years old at the end of his contract.

“That was never really taken into account,” Irsay told news this weekend. “… Long term, it should heal up and be fine. The only thing that was on my mind was we needed to get it done. That was the focus.”

All eyes are now on Drew Brees. He has one year left on his contract. Insiders are still unsure if Brees will solidify a new contract this week as well.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis has yet to comment on the mater. But coach Sean Payton has previously told news that it’s important to get the deal done, but just not urgent at the moment.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Braylon Edwards Vikings or Rams fit is being pursued. Braylon Edwards won’t be returning to the Jets, local news reported Saturday. Now Edwards’ possible future could be with the Vikings and Rams, some news reports claim; others assert that the Bears, Titans and Redskins seem possible.

Braylon Edwards’ end with the Jets followed the team’s signing of Plaxico Burress this weekend. Immediately, possible landing spots for Edwards grew from two locations to six. The Vikings, Titans, Bears and Redskins were on the short list of the New York Daily News’ Gary Myers.

Edwards reportedly knew his time with the Jets was over after a Wednesday deal with Santonio Holmes was announced. The team gave Holmes a five year deal worth $50 million. Edwards responded via Twitter. “I would love to be a Jet but the feeling doesn’t seem to be mutual with the management.” He later deleted the Twitter message and wrote “Will always love jets nation no matter what happens.”

Multiple reports claim his most likely landing spot will be the Vikings or Rams.
