OT-Peyton Manning...might NOT be a good dude.
I had heard rumors about this incident before (including on this board) but never anything in a legitimate news outlet until I saw this article in the NY Daily News this morning.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-peyton-manning-squeaky-cl…
Obviosuly both sides have their own version of events but this is not a good look for Peyton or the Manning family and some of it is pretty disturbing.
I've never been a big fan of Manning because I think he's a phony who smiles for the camera and is probably not the great guy everyone makes him out to be in his off-camera life but this is worse than I thought.

I haven't liked him since he put his bare ass in my face as a "Mardi Gras joke".

Read the response to the Motion to Dismiss and you won't be laughing.

I'd like to know what was sealed.

Wait, so Peyton did something dumb when he was in college? Good thing he's the only one.

Yeah Denardogasm, but you sure as hell can put your asshole on someones face if you're an asshole and a dick on someone's head if you're a dickhead criminal sex offending sexist, racist dirty pig and you attempted to steal Charles Fucking Woodson's goddamn Heisman Trophy!!!
Cool story bro would be that everyone who ever meets him from now on will kick him in his nasty balls as hard as they can and then shout fuck you Manning in order to add insult to injury.

damn near killed em.....
February 13th, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
you failed to take the time to read the entire article, otherwise you would have known that this was something that played out well beyond his college years.

"But clearly the biggest issue with the NFL is Newton dancing."
First of all, this event took place in college.
Secondly, that's a pretty large exaggeration. As much as some people don't like Newton's dancing, much bigger news stories have been about domestic violence (Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, etc.) and concussions.
February 13th, 2016 at 5:05 PM ^
And ball inflation.

He sexually assaulted a female trainer who was trying to help him and then proceeeded to lie about it and try to cover it up.
He also let Saxon lose his eligibility just for telling the truth.
What a douche!
February 13th, 2016 at 12:54 PM ^
This opinion is exactly why high profile college athletes are able to get away with things like this and it is ultimately blamed on the victim.

We've all done something dumb in college. In fact, some of us continue to do dumb things long after college. Imhe, there are multiple other issues.
- When you are caught doing something dumb, own up to it, don't just obfuscate, hide, deny, etc. etc., etc.
- When someone catches you doing something dumb, don't vindictively destroy them.
- When you agree to do something (sealed case, etc.), honor your agreement.
- When you're an adult, own up to past actions. As with Tressel, a huge part of the problem is the coverup. It is often a lot worse than the original infraction.
- I'm kind of sick and tired of men trying to pass off sexist and offensive action just as "boys being boys." And I'm tired of other men giving a pass to these same men, particularly because they are protecting a famous male athlete.

I just read through quite a bit of the court docs. If you read the details in here, it is really hard not to believe this woman. I have never been a fan of Manning and was really pulling for Carolina last week. The interesting thing is that I have never really been able to put my finger on WHY I don't like him. Maybe I have the gift of discernment and he is a doucher.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:43 PM ^
There's a lot of sexist behaviors, assaults and just smarmy (not illegal) behavior around a lot of athletic departments. There was a number of cases i was aware of at Michigan, and I don't really know how they were handled, but it seemed like the coaches/administrators did the right thing when they were aware of the events. Reading that doc, Tennessee seems like an awful place. (Especially in light of the recent story about the football players raping someone and then beating up another player (twice) when he tried to help the survivor. Coaches were aware.) Manning seems like a priveledged jerk/good ole boy and so does the athletic director.

The dude is a lying clown who has been lying about things his whole life. He also pretends / claims to be black when actually he is white. He also relies on a fake background story that he has built over the years to give him oppression cred.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:33 PM ^
I love the "kill the messenger" strategy. Love it!
February 13th, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
It is the truth about what the author is you troll.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
And thus every word he writes is a lie. Got it. And before calling someone a "troll," you might want to learn the old adage about people living in glass houses and such...

That's true, but everyone already knows about this case. King is just using it to try and drum up some weak racial controversy regarding Cam and Peyton Maning to try and regain credibility after BlackLivesMatter dumped him over stealing funds.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
Everyone knows about this case? I'm not sure about that.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:34 PM ^
Really? Obviously not literally every single person alive, but I'd assume most people following sports know of it. It comes up every so often. Its been pretty common knowledge for a long time.
We don't need one shitty human being telling us something well-known about another shitty human being for his own personal benefit. Just my opinion.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:20 PM ^
His popularity belies this story being common knowledge. I'd only heard vague rumors.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
Yup, I'd only heard internet rumors. Now I've read the stories and the document. I didn't like Manning before, now I think he is an absolute scumbag, and I hope someone ruins his life like he ruined that woman's life...
February 13th, 2016 at 4:09 PM ^
and decided he is "an absolute scumbag?" Would you give someone you liked the same small consideration and quick judgement?
February 13th, 2016 at 2:01 PM ^
Then you are a poorly informed individual who doesn't read the news.
Here are articles from 2014 discussing the same information:
http://thebiglead.com/2014/09/18/peyton-manning-1996-tennessee-lawsuit-trainer-bare-butt-mooning/
http://www.inquisitr.com/1486872/peyton-manning-sex-scandal-largely-forgotten-even-with-a-witness/
And here is something from February 1st of this month.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/01/peyton-s-manning-s-forgotten-sex-scandal.html
Took me about 5 minutes to find and link this info. So if you had heard "vague rumors" you should have been able to easily confirm them. There are many, many more.
But no, let's give a piece of shit like Shaun King plaudits for "breaking" a story that has been broken for years so he can continue to drum up a racial controversy that doesn't actually exist.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
Or, maybe I have a job and a life and don't really give a shit about Peyton Manning so never bothered to do the research? Plus, The Big Lead, Inquisitr and The Daily Beast are hardly the "newspapers of record", so there's that...
February 13th, 2016 at 2:26 PM ^
February 13th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
I foolishly thought my point was clear. Since the publications you provided links to are not what I would consider major media outlets, it is unlikely I would have run across this story on those sites without actively looking for information. Hopefully, this clears things up!
February 13th, 2016 at 2:55 PM ^
You said you heard "internet rumors". A quick "Peyton Manning sexual assault" search would have turned up numerous articles leading to information regarding the case. Oh, but you didn't have time to do that with your bomb-ass life going on. Yet, somehow with no free time you're visiting sites that deal in "internet rumors" while at the same time claiming not to have seen anything substantial on the Manning case because it wasn't in something of record (which is obviously the only type of site/news you visit/read). Weird.
But hey, good thing a real journalist like Shaun King was here to get you up to speed.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:10 PM ^
Thanks, I learned two things today:
1. You hate Shaun King for some reason
2. Your ideas don't interest me
February 13th, 2016 at 3:19 PM ^
February 13th, 2016 at 3:27 PM ^
Nope, your ideas are still uninteresting. But good try!
February 13th, 2016 at 4:04 PM ^
What was the good try? Catching you in your "I don't have time to read anything that isn't in the WSJ" lie? Or schooling you on Shaun King? Or pointing out your obvious lack of adult capabilities to do your own research (which you clearly have plenty of time to do as you're still on here responding to me)?
Sounds like another person who can't accept the L. Deflect away.
