Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is not the same person as current Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, but according to people on Twitter he pretty much is.
So It wasn’t enough to have bears fans always blowing up my Twitter. Now I have Jets fans blowing it up.. This is a never ending journey lol

Then there are mainstream media sports news outlets that don't get it.
Dear @SportsCenter, there's a difference between @BMarshh54 for the @broncos and the receiver traded to the @nyjets pic.twitter.com/nWUqv2OoLR

Noticeably, our BMarsh changed his Twitter cover photo and profile picture from one in street clothes to his being in full Broncos garb. Maybe that will help. But probably not.
So, to follow the meta, people talked about Brandon Marshall on Twitter like he was a traded Jets receiver. Brandon Marshall joke-complained about all his mentions. People mentioned him more, still confused. ESPN quoted his tweet on TV thinking it was the other Brandon Marshall. People tweeted about that. And now we're blogging about that.
Happy Friday!
