vmax Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Here we go............. Up until a recent report linking him to HGH shipments in 2011, Peyton Manning has mostly been viewed as an athlete with a sparkling clean image. It’s one of the reasons the Super Bowl-winning Broncos quarterback is featured in so many commercials during NFL games.However, that image might take a serious hit because of an explosive piece by Shaun King of the New York Daily News that detailed how Manning and his family went to great lengths to protect his image after an alleged sexual assault while he was at the University of Tennessee.“As his career winds down, we’re left to grapple with the reality that there is credible evidence that Peyton and the Manning family knowingly, willingly, wantonly ruined the good name and career of Dr. Jamie Naughright, a respected scholar, speaker, professor, and trainer of some of the best athletes in the world,” King writes.The report also details false stories made up to help Manning, one of Manning’s Tennessee teammates losing his eligibility for not backing him, school staffers asking Naughright to blame the alleged incident on another student, and much more. There are many layers to King’s report, as you’d expect from one that involves the careful examination of 74 pages of court documents. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/peyton-mannings-alleged-not-so-wholesome-image/ar-BBpsx6S?li=BBnbfcL This should keep us busy through the off season.

papasmurfbell Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 And I was questioned weeks ago when I said he was a sexual assaulter. Quote
cravnravn Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Knew all about it, his daddy covered it up Quote
Spen Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 It's all terrible but years after its over why smear her name and character? And it's kind of funny that his teammates wouldn't lie for him. Quote
dc. Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 And I was questioned weeks ago when I said he was a sexual assaulter.While I didn't even see this, two questions: 1. How many ways do you have in your pocket to say "told you so" 2. Did you cite a source (a valid, reliable, in context source) or did you just say things again and leave it open to the obvious "says who?" response? 1 Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I said it was in Peyton's book. It was but it was the white washed version of the story. I have been saying this since his book came out and people would say Peyton is the perfect guy. I had thought but didnt say that it was a youthful indiscretion. After reading the article it is far more than that. That is a I would think a felony sexual assault. Quote
vmax Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Ruining another person's name and reputation so your's remains clean is really damn low.it's living a lie. Now...if he was honest from the gate, truly saw how wrong he was, changed his thought and belief system for the good and took his lumps....he's a solid role model today. Everybody makes mistakes in life. Everybody does some wrong or harm. Especially while young like Peyton. It's not who you are. Learn from it, grow for the better. You win. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 He sold a teammate out to save himself. But hey who remember when he blamed the OL for a loss in Indy? Quote
Spen Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 He sold a teammate out to save himself. But hey who remember when he blamed the OL for a loss in Indy?But that doesn't count because he clearly said he wasn't trying to be a bad teammate before he threw them under the bus. I'm pretty sure that negates it. If Peyton either liked the trainer or disliked her before the incident then it really becomes creepy. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 What I am finding interesting is how ESPN brass have told their reporters they can't talk about this. I am wondering if ESPN has already signed him for the studio. Quote
dc. Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I'm confused by the original King story a bit. Is the entire story he wrote based primarily on the "statement of facts" he received anonymously? If so, it isn't clear and it should be. Not a defense of Manning, but a plaintiff's statement of facts is not actually fact, it's their side of the story. There is still plenty (PLENTY) in it that is disturbing. And the decision by the Manning family to include her in the book is baffling, downright stupid even. But I just can't tell whose story I'm reading. The set up makes it sound like it's ask from that one doc. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 The depositions by the people who were supposed to be Peyton's witnesses are a killer. But Peyton can come out and give his side of the story. HE has an open mic anytime he likes to use it. Quote
dc. Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Well certainly, and yes, the depositions are especially damning. But in the end, what we're technically reading is one side of the story - with all evidence put in that context - as written and filed 13 years ago. Manning undoubtedly did respond to this document at that time. And he certainly can respond again. But like with any other news story, having to respond to an already established say of "facts" is a tremendous disadvantage. Again, I'm really on no side here just thinking out loud. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I look at it as if you write a book and bring up this event you are looking to get ahead of it before someone else brings it. What just came out is devastating. True there are been no definitive finding of proof but with that many depositions for nothing more than covering lies and not even the actual event it looks really bad. Quote

dc. Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 All I meant was that this document is not strictly "facts." There's another version from the defense side, plus of course much more, and we're not seeing it. We're reading one narrative. Quote
dc. Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 And yeah, the book is absurd. But it's not quite to the level of a legitimate, legal statement of fact in response to the charges leveled here. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I get that. Now I wonder if there is another shoe dropping soon. Quote
JPPT1974 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 It will be dropped just like the H.G.H. will be IMHO! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Ppl would have said that about the HGH. Now this. What reporter is digging where now to find something else? Quote
GrubberRaven Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Never doubted your story Papa, but also the length of time to finally break this out like he did...just boring shit Quote
