Broncos WR Marshall has part-time job in TV

The Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall will seen on TV without wearing his Broncos jersey on next Tuesday night, not as the focus of a piece of news, but as a host of “Sports Soup” on Versus to say something interest about sports.


“I think it’s always fun to be able to joke about something that you do,” the Pro Bowl receiver told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday. He even plans to poke fun at the training camp tantrum that drew him a nine-day suspension.

Marshall, who has 29 catches for 332 yards and four touchdowns for the undefeated Broncos this season, has done some sports broadcasting in the past. But he said that experience will not help him much for the new hosting job. However, he at least knows how the show goes on as he is a fan and has watched a lot of episodes.

Walt Daniels died 12 hours after falling out of press box at Qualcomm Stadium

Walt Daniels, 66, died at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at Sharp Memorial Hospital, 12 hours after he fell out of the press box at the Qualcomm Stadium, where the Denver Broncos played against the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.


“The San Diego Chargers’ family is greatly saddened by the loss of Walt Daniels,” the team said in a statement. “Walt loved the team and loved working in the press box on game days for more than 20 years. Our prayers are with his family and friends during this most difficult time.”

The 66-year-old man fell about 25 to 30 feet out of a booth that was to be used by Broncos assistant coaches and landed on the loge level. He seemed to sustain a head injury and was administered CPR before being taken to the hospital. Happening about three hours before kickoff, the accident delayed the opening of the game by about 40 minutes.
