Also, fuck Peyton Manning with an Ebola covered gardening fork. What a disgusting scumbag of a human being.

There's your legacy, Peyton. A shitheel privileged redneck fuckstick who used daddy's name to cover up criminal behavior. Fuck you.

Let's see how quickly ESPN and the NFL decide to gargle the "Manning name"s nuts and whitewash this away.

It speaks to his character that a sexual assault is the worst thing anyone can dig up on him?

I'm not a great person by any means, but there's nothing I've done near as bad as that. And I say that without the slightest scintilla of pride.

One-sided court documents presented by a potentially biased journalist about a dumb kid making a boys will be boys mistake way back in the old days of the 90's. The narrative has been solidified.
I'm sorry, but putting your balls and ass on an unwilling woman's (or man's, for that matter) face is NOT "boys will be boys", either today or in the 1990's. Especially one who is simply attempting to do her job.

Can anyone speak to the significance, or lack thereof, of this:
The footnote on page 10 of the DN's PDF states, "Plaintiff's counsel, as a courtesy, will comply with his [Manning counsel's] request for the present time. However, by so doing, neither Plaintiff nor Plaintiff's counsel is in any way agreeing that Plaintiff's testimony or her documents are confidential and not subject to public disclosure."

Of course, we don't know the terms that were eventually incorporated into the settlement.

kind of funny that manning wins and now people start to hate him again (not here, we have always hated him).

Had he lost none of this gets brought up I would imagine.

Yeah. In the post-Cosby world this isn't going away.

Unless he went on a teabag spree for the ages, it already has. It was settled in court 20 years ago and Manning is teflon. He'll teabag his own HoF bust in a few years, and people will chuckle how he can make light of "minor problems" he had when he was just a kid.

When do we start the thread about Peyton and his thugs arranging a "make it seem like natural causes" hit on Scalia to draw attention away from Shaun King?

As were some of Cosby's issues. As were issues involving many bad actors that were settled hundreds of years ago and relitigated now.

If Brady can play 3 more seasons at this years level, he could end up with better numbers than Manning across the board (Touchdowns would likely need a fourth year). That would be something.

Wow, the footnote from p.55 the PDF is right out of some cheap Hollywood melodrama on collegiate athletics:

Dr. Naughright was discussing a summary sheet which indicated that the seniors on the football team had been involved in various at risk behavior including criminal behavior and many having grade point averages of 0.00. Coach Phillip Fulmer's response was to write 11-1 at the top of the paper. 11-1 was the team record the previous year.

Pages 49-50 also lay out an interesting account of Gary Wyant asking Naughright if she could somehow obtain a videotape of Tennessee football players having sex with a minor. Said tape was to be given to the defense counsel for a player up on charges. Seems like Wyant is still working today as the Executive Associate Athletic Director at University of Tennessee.

Some folks at Florida Southern and its Sixth Man boosters also could face some tough questions given what's in the PDF, but they'll probably skate. Surreal that pitcher Tommy John involved there.

Ya know, in the next year or so...not in the next couple hundred years.
I said re litigated because my brain is off and I couldn't think of another word for rediscussed. I don't think this is going back to court, but I think it'll be out and about in public for awhile.

Happy to bet on that. Or anything really.

$100 says that Manning's dick is under 5 inches.

I mean, seriously. Ray Lewis participated in killing someone and he's fucking yucking it up with all the other knuckleheads at America's Leader...

I don't know to post twitter here, but Dennis and Callahan just tweeted this....

I was just told by a current ESPN anchor that all ESPN employees were told not to report or discuss the Daily News story on Peyton Manning.

I was just about to post how embarrassing it is for espn.com that they have not mentioned this at all, when everyone else is now talking about it, but then I saw your post here and it all makes sense.

Horrifying for a sports media organization to not mention this huge story. Even more horrifying for that organization to instruct its employees to not mention it.

Unbelievable.

Is there any actual news?

There are so any angles to it. Manning smeared the trainer, repeatedly. He played the race card, repeatedly. He violated a settlement, repeatedly. He got the trainer to be dismissed from two jobs and cost another UT athlete his scholarship. And he lied under oath, repeatedly.

It's easy for Manning's defenders to reduce this to a "youthful prank" and dismiss the entire thing, but the reason this has legs is how appalling the incident is and how long it went on in an obviously personal vendetta.

Agreed. But my point is, per Al Breer's comments, if a reporter wants to make hay out of this, it needs to be broken down into "what's new here?" We already knew about the assault and cover story. We already knew about the violations of the settlements. There may be other pieces regarding the ghostwriter's testimony.

But the charge that Manning and his team were spreading false rumors that a white, female athletic trainer at a southern state university who had brought charges against him was not only sleeping with students but black students is explosive, damning and new. To me, that's the story here.

Since the HGH story is in hibernation but the sexual harrassment/slander story is in full national force (finally), should the thread be renamed or the sexual harrassment/slander stuff be moved to a separate thread?

Your second point is great, but I don't think your first point is valid. The bolded is what I have a problem with. "We" is a very small group of people within a larger group known as sports fans. The average sports fan never knew any of this.

I know that it's not what we usually do here, but I admit that I'd prefer one Pile On Peyton thread.

I really hope this new story stays front and center. I've always thought that Peyton was a piece of crap. His "I don't mean to be a bad teammate, but now I'm going to be a bad teammate" routine told me that, and while I always truly loved seeing him flap his arms and shrug his shoulders when things went badly for him on the field, it was another indication of the same. But that was just drawing some very possibly wrong conclusions. Given schadenfreude and continuing annoyance at the Pats loss to his team (albeit with little contribution from him), this new/not new story is delicious largely because it is so much more tangible. Here's to more of the same coming out.

Oh I agree, I just think the title should be changed then. If I was actually good at titles, I'd give a recommendation.
I don't know, something like manning scandal 2: sexual bugaloo, or manning: a remembrance of scandals past.
Like I said, I'm awful at making titles.
EDIT: Didn't see dropkick izzy's suggestion, which is much better than mine.

I don't disagree but if you want people to listen to this story, you need to explain why this isn't "old news."

Also, and while this isn't fair or absolute, our society generally is more tolerant of misogyny or even sexual assault than racism. As this board has debated many times over, the role of women in sexual assaults continues to be at least on par with that of men – what was her behavior and did it contribute to the violation? Investigations into acts of racism, OTOH, now largely start with questioning the actions of the perpetrators.

All of which is to say, Manning is on much shakier ground as a privileged, drawling southerner suggesting his accuser slept with black men than he is accusing her of asking for it or being a lesbian.

Go beyond the Mannings. Per the Plaintiff's filing, Gary Wyant (and the deceased Rollo) were the ones who tried to cajole Naughright into blaming everything on another athlete. It says Wyant also tried to get Naughright's help in obtaining the video of the sex with the minor. He wanted to get the tape to the defense counsel to be used against the girl who had filed a rape charge against a player. As the filing notes, handling such material might be a child pornography violation. Wyant seems to still be working as the Executive Associate Athletic Director at University of Tennessee.

And Tom Brady gets boned over by the league and booed in Santa Clara. A guy who has never been accused of anything even remotely approaching this shit. Who never makes excuses or throws anyone under the bus after a loss.

Fuck the Mannings. Fuck the University of Tennessee. Fuck the NFL and the shitweasel passing as its commissioner. Fuck ESPN. And fuck every corporate & educational entity that ignores & enables this shit (unless it affects their bottom lines of course).

I sincerely hope that trainer got some serious bucks from the settlements.

Great summation. What's new really is the HGH allegations and the fact his actions are following the same pattern.
