Marshall trade a win-win for Broncos and Dolphins

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

When reports first broke this morning indicating that Miami had acquired wide receiver Brandon Marshall from Denver, I was surprised to say the least.

Today’s news that the Bills had decided to part ways with head coach Dick Jauron came as no surprise to anyone who has followed the team during his tenure in Buffalo. The real shocker is why it took so long. Jauron is a stand up coach, well liked by his peers and players in general. [...]
