    Thank you for this, I was diagnosed 11 years ago and remember watching his football life episode on NFL Network when I was going through it. At the beginning of this year I was able to recover fully, have no more symptoms, pursuing a social work degree and work for NAMI. I'm unfortunately a bears fan but I was rooting for him when he played for us, and his story helped me in a way for my recovery.

      You can't cure Borderline Personality Disorder. It's a life long mental illness that one just learns tools through therapy in order to manage. You speak about it like it's viral disease or something with "symptoms". That's odd....the "symptoms" are behaviors and thought patterns which don't get "cured". They get managed.

Has never played for "my" team, but what he did for mental health awareness, the stands he'd take for it with his green shoes, etc, he really made sure he was heard, and unfortunately, nobody else has taken the mantel like he did since he left(I'm looking at you Josh Gordon, you need to take this torch).

    Think ya got that D Will story a bit wrong. Brandons cousin started some shit with some gang members here in Denver on New Years Eve. Broncos had just choked away the playoffs, with an unbelievable, come from ahead OT loss vs a bad SF team. Several Broncos went to a club,& walked in...basically the football players,& their homies stole the affections of some chicks...so to speak to keep it family friendly. The gang members were not amused. Marshall's cousin let them know about it,& sounds like Brandon also antagonized it, as they were trying to big time the wrong people. But from people I know who were there, his cousin was the #1 culprit. Gang members later shot up their limo randomly...D Will was totally innocent.
    I felt awful that night, as I was at that game, in the closest seats Ive ever sat in, of the probably around 100 Bronco games Ive been to. My family had 3rd level season tickets at the time. But I was sitting with friends, like 8 or 10 rows from the field. Darrent Williams (RIP), had a rough game,& played a big roll in the loss. He was well on his way to a great career, but not that day. I was drunk,& after the game was over,& we'd lost..the crowd was dead quiet in stunned disbelief, as they left the field. I was yelling crap at him, he definitely heard. Nothing vile or terrible, but akin to "thanks for choking the playoffs away for us bro!" Maybe even "what do you care, you still got your millions,"-which was totally unfair. Williams played his ass off always. I've been sober 8 yrs,& realize how obnoxious of a drunk I used to be, (this was like New Years Eve 2006 into 2007)& this was 1 of the 1st lessons I learned how I took sports too serious when drunk. I didn't hear about his death, til shortly after waking up hung over,& pissed about missing the playoffs on New Years day. Instantly, I didn't care anymore about meaningless football, after hearing the news.
    Brandon was truly unstoppable at times & perfect example of how great Shanahan Sr was at drafting mid to late round guys. Unfortunately, he missed on many high round picks...but Brandon couldve been a HOFer. I don't like him in his current job, but glad he got help,& is successful. Never thought he'd have a job like that, when he was here. But your video brought back many memories..good,& bad.

As I indicated-last game of the REGULAR SEASON, on New Yrs Eve 2006 I believe..Google it. SF was a bad team..like 6-9 or something like that..we had double digit early lead..blew it..lost in OT,& CHOKED AWAY THE PLAYOFFS.meaning win you get a Wild Card berth..lose you give away the playoff spot. And whoever got that playoff spot..I think KC..actually overcame huge odds on the last day to get that last spot. Bunch of other crazy shit happened that last weekend to allow them to sneak in.

      the broncos didnt just “walk in”. you clearly are making shit up. it was new years. a decent amount of time passed the playoff loss first. SECoND they didnt just walk in or get mad for not being allowed immediately in for no reason. it was an event the club was having. they used the broncos names and some nuggets and had a special night for ballers and charged 20 bucks cover fee. so they should have been allowed to just walk in. but cleary marshal was not. also marshal tried cooling off lil willie numerous times. lil willie also punched a woman in the face that night. the same woman he acted shocked over when marshals cousin grabbed her ass on the way out. he was looking to start shit.

    My ex wife has BPD, and it's rough for everyone around and something the person that has it doesn't understand and the people around them don't understand it either. I never knew this about him, but I hope and pray for him. From tons of research and counseling for myself after it, I know how rough it can be for everyone involved. Prayers for him, and it makes me look at his career a lot different now. The media painted him out to be a bad person. But with BPD, they have no control over it. I still know my ex wife is a good person at heart, sometimes she just can't control what God gave her. That's why I'm a big believer in supporting people when they aren't acting like themselves. Be there for the people you love.
