Sounds like Marshall carries a lot of guilt about that night. What an awful thing all around.
I've said this before and I firmly believe it...that night led to the destruction of the Denver Broncos. Look at all the stuff that happened as a result....

First off, it was Al Wilson's last game...and the Broncos have never replaced his leadership.

1. Lost a potential stud CB in Darrent Williams.
2. Javon Walker loses his mind (understandably)
3. Brandon Marshall becomes an angry man jaded against the city of Denver
4. Emotionally wrecked team spirals downward and eventually Mike Shanahan pays the ultimate price.

It is interesting, yet pointless, to think what might have been had the incident never occurred.
