ESPN ordered not to discuss Manning Story

ESPN is reporting on it.

Manning's legacy will definitely be tainted.... tainted by the woman he 'taint'ed.

Such wonderful, ironic justice.

wow, this story is going to the moon.

This is making me really testy. I really hope someone in the national media has the balls to really crack this story. Manning's legacy is forever tainted. In the end they'll be saying this story wrecked 'em...or at least damn near killed his public image. He really is a ****.

Well, some believe this is not a big deal :

Peyton Manning Newest Target of Fake Internet Outrage Brigade

And now this story has gone viral twenty years after it happened. Again, it speaks to Peyton Manning's public persona that the only thing anyone can find to argue he's a bad guy is a locker room prank gone awry from 1996.

But, of course, this isn't really about Peyton Manning at all.

It's just a fake black guy trying to race hustle.

And failing.

Once more.

The incident might be filed under the 'boys will be boys' and also because by being the starting QB in Tennessee (and a huge recruiting coup) might have helped Manning think he was immune to criticism for bad behavior, and if he had simply apologize 20 years ago it might have gone away. But, IMO, the biggest problem is not even the teabagging incident itself (although it's far from a glorious episode), but rather the cover-up, and the amount of lies he had to create in order to discredit this woman, who can't find a job in her own field of expertise because of an incident 20 years ago. Obviously, the author of this article doesn't talk about the number of lies Manning said over the years...

In real life as on the football field, it never was Peyton Manning's fault...

Wow, that writer is a real *******.

Someone else on this forum said it very eloquently. How would you feel if that trainer were your daughter? Would you think it was "just a prank" and "boys will be boys"? Then you have to watch pink head in thousands of commercials for the next 15 years pretend to be the wholesome American role model? My blood is boiling just thinking about it.

I have 3 daughters.

I can't even think about it....

The New England Patriots should offer her a job on their training staff. Then it will get reported.

I posted in this forum how I asked that question to a Broncos fan here in Denver with 2 daughters. Completely serious, he said he wouldn't mind if they were sexually assaulted, as long as it was in college.

Blew my mind.

ESPN is in bed with Manning and the NFL. I cut the cord a year ago and never view the espn website. Looks like I am not the only one...

Analysts like SNL Kagan believe that ESPN gets about $6.60 for every core ESPN subscriber, and anywhere from 22 to 83 cents for each subscriber to its other networks, such as ESPN 2 and the SEC Network. The loss of 7 million or so subscribers since 2013 means that ESPN is now getting $650 million less in affiliate revenues, Jackson says—the majority of which is pure profit. The company is also estimated to be making about $250 million less in advertising because of its shrinking reach.

I'd bet a case of beer that ESPN wants Manning as a on air personality and is doing anything and everything possible to not damage those chances...

Clay Travis has written outright racist and just crazy stuff in the past, hugely critical of Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend on camera. It's a mystery this guy has a job.

Were you referring to this?: http://deadspin.com/demarcus-cousins-gives-rock-stupid-sportswriter-a-much-1682765801

Just another example of Clay Travis having no business being employed. The guy is garbage.

ESPN is at least reporting on the Manning allegations in the UT lawsuit.
Report: Manning alleged assault cited in UT suit

Go head over to the Colts forum to see what you're saying in action. They think Brady, Kraft and Belichick are classless scum and that Manning and their fan base were sent down from heaven by God himself to point out all of the injustice in the NFL

They're really like a cult mindset over there, its amazing

Are you surprised? For starters, they live in Indiana and secondly, this is their cult leader:

When I googled 'Peyton Manning assault', the world wide leader was the only site that I found that used the word "alleged" in their article on this story.

That speaks volumes about their bias and lack of transparency.

Meh...... Manning is going to retire and disappear from public view for awhile

The NFL/ESPN will pull the big distraction by talking about Brady and the appeal for 4 consecutive weeks

You might see something scroll across the bottom of the tv

good, we want the truth, not BSPN's fantasy ****.

He now is blatantly ripping off Barstool Sports to try to stay relevant.
