FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Brandon Marshall was relaxing in his hotel room while vacationing with his family on St. Barts this summer when a TV infomercial caught his attention.
You know the kind, those late-night programs that somehow persuade you that you absolutely need that product. Well, this one was for a 21-day diet that immediately interested the New York Jets wide receiver and his wife, Michi.
"I was like, 'That's pretty cool,'" Marshall said Monday after the team's first practice of the regular season.
The couple wasted no time — Order NOW! — and purchased the product, which includes containers for portion-controlled meals and DVDs with short workouts.
