People sell tons of stuff on Craig’s List. Including athletes. Only they’re usually fake, obvs, because people can’t sell other people on Craig’s List. It’s like a violation of the terms of service or something. But some prankster-gangster type of fella is rejecting society’s mores and making it happen anyway, putting Brandon Marshall on the block.

The poor fella. He’s so “cantankerous.”

One slightly used, partially dinged up, occasionally unreliable, extremely agitated, currently insubordinate Brandon Marshall receiver! I really don’t want to sell my Brandon Marshall as there were some good times with Brandon Marshall, but for the posterity of the entire fleet, it is time to part ways with Brandon Marshall. I purchased this Brandon Marshall in 2006, and it was really a good “bang for your buck” situation at the time. This is your chance to get in on this Brandon Marshall before it is too late and on the free market. Trust me, I could easily sell Brandon Marshall at a police auction.

And so on and so on the listing goes. It’s awesome. It’s funny. It’s standard Craig’s List humor. But most importantly, it’s a perfect anecdotal-type example of what’s going on with the Denver Broncos and Brandon Marshall right now. Keep reading →

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, etc., etc. Or, instead of subtle jabs, how about someone fly an airplane over Jerry Angelo’s house with a giant banner that says “MAKE A FREAKIN’ PLAY, MAN, AND GO AFTER CUTLER.”

Or something shorter, depending on budgetary needs. The point being though, is that Jay Cutler wants out of Denver. Badly. He and Josh McDaniels, for whatever reason, can’t get along (the whole thing is beyond childish, by the way) and Cutler is skipping out of charity events, ignoring team meetings and generally acting like the guy everyone compares him to: Brett Favre.

Now, word on the street is that Cutler wants a trade (well, either that or Bus Cook wants a new contract for the quarterback … seriously, is any of this starting to sound familiar yet?) and you have to think that there will be plenty of interested teams. For starters, the Vikings (a Sage Rosenfels/Tavaris Jackson mutant doesn’t equal a Pro Bowler), the Lions (anything to avoid Matthew Stafford, no?) and the Bears strike me as teams that would/should/could be highly interested in the currently-maligned quarterback.
