For Some, A Mile Is Too High

For all those looking to update their Suspectedly Timed News calendars, it seems Brandon Marshall's love affair with the city of Denver ended long before any of us knew.

Channel 7 News in Denver reports that Marshall expressed a desire to be traded 18 months ago in a traffic stop.

When the wideout/controversy-magnet was stopped in October 2007 for suspicion of a DUI, he apparently went on an anti-Denver tirade.

"I hate Denver. I hope I get traded. I hate this f******* city," an officer wrote in the police report.

The report was only made public after CALL7 Investigators asked for it, after receiving a tip about the report's content.

Hmmm ... Who has an incentive to tip off a reporter about a statement that remained unreported for almost two years? Marshall wants to be traded. The Broncos need PR cover to trade him -- especially in an offseason where they already sent one superstar packing.

Something's rotten in the state of ~~Denmark~~ Denver.

Your Feedback

What do you make of Marshall's comments? Should the Broncos trade him? Why is all of this coming out now? Sound off here.

body Sounds to me like the guy wanted to be let off the hook, since he's a star and all, and police didn't comply, so he got abusive. Let him go. No good team needs this kind of distraction, and no team trying to get better needs it either.

As far as who blabbed, who cares, unless a crime was committed in the process?

body As a die hard Bronco fan I was willing to give the new coach and his system a chance to succeed. I cringed when we traded Cutler (although with him when things go bad they get worse) for Orton, but now the only remaining franchise player wants to leave my support is waning. I probably will cancel my NFL Direct Ticket so I won't have to watch what happens.

body I've been a Denver fan for a long time. I just don't understand --- I just don't get it. Why bring in an offensive mind that's going to totally revamp a system that wasn't broke to begin with. This team is destroying an offensive jugernaut that was ranked no. 2 overall last year. Why didn't they pursue a defensive coach like a Rex Ryan? What are they doing to this team? It's painful.

body I do not blame the coach for two guys who need to be baby sat. They get paid pretty dam good money to do what they do. Both distractions had to and will have to go.

body Six points, plus an extra point
1) The allusion to Shakespeare is a little snooty, but Denver is having some building issues that are only apparent to those who live here, namely, a too homogenous demographic. Well documented comments by athelets who come here from other markets testify to the look being one tone, only. And therefore, alien to their likes.
2) This team never recoverd from the Darrent Williams shooting. And what would happen to the chemistry of any group of men after such a horrible attack?
3) We, the fans of Denver football, are fervent in our support of the team, so what ever they do, we will be supportive.
4) Brandon has a flash that makes him fun to watch and will serve him well, even if he plays elsewhere.
5) The QB is all that makes a team click, the other parts need to fall into place, and so they have to be available, but it shall always start with the good play caller, especially an experienced, seat-of-the-pants kind of thinker.
6) The Broncos are expert at public relations. They continue to make headlines from their relatively remote Rocky Mountain location. Any news is noticable and makes a player and his agent keep the ear to the ground for a trade opportunity
And, for the extra point,
7) Elway, of course. If he annoints a player with his blessing, they will be golden.

body Brandon Marshall can't catch a cold - just ask Peyton Manning on his "just another" TD drop in the Pro Bowl. Sure he had 100 catches last year but we threw it 50-60 times a game! The guy just can't stay out of trouble - dump him before anyone else figures it out.

body Does not anyone understand that in order to win a Super Bowl you NEED quality players that will ALWAYS put the TEAM FIRST! I love that Coach McD is changing the culture of players that is on the roster. Denver needs players that LOVE DENVER and the BRONCOS PERIOD. Denver does not need more Travis Henry's or guys just looking for a big payday . A LA BRANDON MARSHALL.

body I agree that if any player doesn't want to be here, get rid of them!!! Send trouble packing!!! The reason he even said that is because every time he turned around he was in trouble in this town. But don't blame Denver Marshall. Look in the mirror instead. The Denver fans and the Broncos organization are the best in the NFL and if you can't be happy here, good riddance A***ole!!
