Denver Broncos retired wide receiver Rod Smith's real passion these days is keeping Brandon Marshall on the straight and narrow. "We talk every other day," Smith said. "It's kind of our standard thing. We have to talk. I'm on track with him, seeing how he's doing. We probably talk more about life than football. Every time he does something right, I let him know. And every time he does something wrong, I let him know." The interesting part isn't that Smith has become Marshall's mentor. The interesting part is why. He isn't being paid by the Broncos. He doesn't have a title, official or otherwise. He's doing it because he wants to do it. "I don't get paid a dime," he said. "This is personal for me. My pay is by them letting me come through those big gates for 14 years."
