For a guy who handed out t-shirts earlier this season with the phrase “No Noise” printed on them, Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall is certainly creating quite a stir on Thursday afternoon.
Following a challenge on Instagram, Marshall took to Twitter to accept a challenge to fight a Detroit Lions fan for $25,000. In a series of tweets, Marshall first agreed to fight for $5,000, then upped the ante and wrapped up his response with some good old fashioned smack talk:
@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall idk if you saw this on ig but here's a reminder http://t.co/GYT7hj3mWe I give you 5k to get in a ring with me. — Machine Marshall (@BMarshall) November 13, 2014
@AnthonyGKalla If I lose I'll give you another 10k. If I win you have to serve a 100 hours at an orphanage. Deal? — Machine Marshall (@BMarshall) November 13, 2014
"@AnthonyGKalla: @BMarshall that's it? Cmon brandy make it 25 and we can do it in Detroit" 25 it is. Ha! You thought i wouldn't say yes. — Machine Marshall (@BMarshall) November 13, 2014

@AnthonyGKalla Deal or no deal bro? This is your chance to back up your talk and make 25k. — Machine Marshall (@BMarshall) November 13, 2014
There’s no word on whether or not the fight will happen, but in a time when the Bears’ locker room is already suffering from divisions, a lack of leadership, and a coach who is trying to hold it all together, something like this isn’t exactly a welcome distraction.
