Wife Charged After NFL Player Is Stabbed

Brandon Marshall of Miami Dolphins expected to fully recover

(Newser) – Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall underwent surgery after being stabbed in the abdomen by his wife, police say. Marshall's agent tells the Miami Herald that the wound isn't life-threatening and that he's expected to fully recover. Police charged Michi Nogami-Marshall with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in a domestic dispute. She said she used the kitchen knife in self-defense.

Marshall himself gave investigators a different story, saying that he slipped and fell on a broken glass vase. His wife, however, admitted stabbing him. "Both the victim and defendant provided scant information regarding the incident itself," said the police report. Marshall has a long rap sheet, including previous arrests on domestic violence charges, notes the Herald. The Dolphins can't comment too much—team officials are prohibited from talking to Marshall because of the current lockout.

Jets Coach Really, Really Sorry for Tripping Miami Player

Sal Alosi is staring down suspension, fines

(NEWSER) - The Jets-Dolphins rivalry is getting to be more like the Jets-Sharks rivalry: New York's conditioning coach, Sal Alosi, is in some hot water after he tripped Miami cornerback Nolan Carroll on his way out of bounds yesterday. As in, stuck his knee out and caused Carroll to fall. Like a 3rd-grader. On videotape. Predictably, he's sorry (and likely facing suspension and a fine, if not league action): More»

Domestic Violence Linked to Football Upsets

Local-team upsets match to an 8% upswing in abuse

(NEWSER) - Losses by local NFL teams may trigger episodes of domestic violence among their fans, a new study suggests. Researchers examined domestic violence reports in 1995-2006 and found that upsets of home teams matched up with an 8% bump in incidents of domestic violence.
