Obama Celebration

After scoring a touchdown in a game against the Cleveland Browns on November 6, 2008, Marshall began to pull out a glove before teammate and receiver Brandon Stokley stopped him. Marshall said he was going to display a black and white glove in tribute to newly-elected President Barack Obama. Due to the closeness of the game, Stokely feared that the Broncos would be penalized 15 yards, which could have been costly in such a close game.FanHouse: Brandon Stokely Stops Brandon Marshall...
