Brandon Marshall, Demaryius Thomas, Walker Stapleton, And The Denver Media
And it came to pass in those days when Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall told the Denver media that he had been involved in this terrible incident with the Miami police on a horrible Fourth of July evening when he was with friends in a restaurant in Miami. Shots were fired, a woman in plain clothes directing traffic ordered him to stop and all of his friends somehow magically vanish. Marshall claims the police officers tackle him to the ground, handcuff him, and threaten him with a taser for resisting arrest. He says they load him in the cop car, take him for a ride then stop and tell him, “Look we’re not going to take you in as long as you keep this just between us.” And then they kick him loose. Now friends … and you are my friends … it never happened.
Brandon becomes a knee taker; Brandon becomes part of the social justice football warriors. Bet everything you got that it never happened. And then as we reported, one day Brandon stood up. Stood next to former coach Gary Kubiak and all was forgiven.
Then as we all know, other than us, no one seemed to be able to find or contact any authorities in Florida and ask if Brandon was telling the truth. We all know growing up in Holy Mother Church there are sins of commission and sins of omission. If the Front Range media had to go to confession they’d ask for forgiveness for both.
And remember Barack Obama when linebacker Marshall was the object of police brutality. Enter Donald Trump. Trump makes comments about the anthem policy of the NFL and the media swarms to Brandon Marshall for comments. Brandon Marshall calls Donald Trump “disgusting” and the Front Range media lap it up like mother’s milk.
New season. Brandon Marshall did warm ups in the opening preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings and then he and Demaryius Thomas took off for the tunnel before the anthem was played. They reemerged after our nation’s song was over. And played in a very lackluster game. I personally watched Channels 4 and 7 the next morning and saw no mention of that behavior on the mommy sportscasts on those two stations.
Along with the intense rumors of the relationship between Joe Ellis, John Elway, the clash of the brain trust of the Denver Broncos, Mrs. Bowlen’s illness, the two stepsisters feuding over the ownership and Harvey Steinberg’s favorite client, John “blood of the city” Bowlen, this my friends is a broken team.
The media, like the three monkeys, see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing. However, what they do say is that Walker Stapleton is the great-grandson of a Klansman. The Denver Post writes such headlines as “Walker Stapleton Must Be Ready To Deal With Family Skeletons As Colorado’s Governor’s Race Heats Up.” We all know old Ben the Denver Mayor was a member of the Klan. So, if Walker is responsible, Jared Polis must also be responsible, because he’s a Democrat just like Old Ben.
Anyone who cracks a 101-history book knows the KKK was the muscle and the arm of the Democratic Party. Kluxers were 100 percent white protestant democrat males. How is Walker Stapleton responsible for his great-grandfather and Jared Polis not responsible for his party? In fact, the amount of gang banging that’s taking place in newspapers, radio and television on the ancestry of Walker Stapleton easily overshines any allegations of the lies of Brandon Marshall and his on-field behavior. Don’t you all find it interesting? But of course, their ratings are being diminished, their revenues are diminished, and fewer people are attending the games or listening or watching.
Remember the Democratic Party gave us the KKK, black codes, Jim Crow laws, and other legislation, which resulted in murders, lynchings, mutilations and intimidation. On the issue of slavery any reputable historian will tell you the Democratic Party gave their lives to expand it while the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.
When are you going to quit listening, watching and reading these people who are a grift on your intellectual capacities?
P.S. I don’t care if Walker Stapleton wins or loses. As far as I’m concerned, this state has been in enormous trouble ever since Bill Owens put the arc in low gear.
