The next two videos feature the highlights of the night and both star guys named Brandon. In the first video, Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler hits wide receiver Brandon Marshall with 1:14 left in the game to give Denver the lead and the victory. Marshall was gonna show a half-black half-white glove as a show of unity in the nation, but Brandon Stokely stopped him so the team wouldn’t receive a 15-yard penalty. Brandon Marshall explains the planned celebration here.
The next video is the play of the night from the NBA. The Houston Rockets and Portland Trailblazers battled until the last second of an insane overtime. The Blazers took a 98-96 lead with 1.9 seconds left on a Brandon Roy jumper. Yao Ming hit a shot and added a free throw with .8 on the clock to give the Rockets a 99-98 lead. But Brandon Roy would have the last word.

I think marshall should have done the celebration. It would have made a statement and in a time like this, i think these societal and cultural statements are more important than a football game.
who knows. maybe even with the 15yrd penalty they would still win
