Nice comments about Brandon...
Marshall as a decent human being is an even harder sell here after his public battle with a former Broncos administration forced his trade to Miami, so Middlemist's story on this front may surprise you.
"I also had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Marshall at a Broncos event," he said. "My son wanted to have his birthday at the Broncos' Fan Fest, so we spent two days waiting in lines and getting pictures and autographs.
"On the first day, our last adventure was an incredibly long line to get pictures with Brandon. We must have waited in the line for an hour in the sun. As it got to be our turn, a Bronco official went up to Brandon to tell him he could go, his time was up.
"The line was still incredibly long, even though the Broncos had stopped letting people join. Brandon waved the official off, pointing to the long line of kids and not wanting to disappoint them.
"We got our picture, but as we were walking away, I could hear Brandon arguing with the Bronco official, refusing to leave. The official told him they had only contracted with the photographer for one hour and that he needed to leave.
"Brandon flatly stated that the people in line seemed to have cameras, so they could still take their picture with him. And he stayed there, making sure that every kid in that line got to meet him and get a picture.
