New York Daily writer uncovers Peyton's true persona

[Tony2046]

Gary Myers has his take.


Myers: Peyton becoming a tough Manning to trust nowadays (<<Link)

So, can we now believe Manning when he says the story about HGH being sent to his wife for his use by an Indianapolis clinic he visited was “garbage”?

Manning built up enough good will since he came into the NFL in 1998 that he seemed to be getting the benefit of the doubt on the HGH story reported by a network most didn’t even know existed. If the Daily News’ award-winning sports investigative team had broken the story, the shelf life would have been much longer and had greater impact. In fact, it would be dominating back pages. Tom Brady is considered an extension of Bill Belichick’s evil empire in New England and didn’t receive the benefit of the doubt last year, so he was considered guilty of deflating footballs despite no direct evidence. It took a United State District Court Judge to restore Brady’s credibility.

This should come as no surprise to anyone:

I decided to see what Gregg Doyel had to say about this story, him being such a big Manning fan and all. His sole comment about it was re-tweeting a positive article about Manning that he wrote back in November, when the Broncos played at the Colts.

It's not that he's been quiet otherwise. He's been very active tweeting and writing about basketball over the past week. He can't seem to say anything about Peyton, though, not even a screwed-up, Clay Travis-style defense. Maybe he's afraid a Colts or Broncos fan will slash his tires.

Clay Travis has "Johnny Reb" disease. Its just the South being the South.

****ed up fact of the night. In Tennessee, only state residents can get public records. It hugely limits who can report there.

btw, it's kind of a minor point, but I would like to contrast this reporting with shaun king's, and why it's imperative the messenger doesn't insert themselves into a story, so as not to distract from it.
I mean, if you're actually trying to do any real reporting on something.

Yep. She stayed away from inserting race into the story when based on what Peyton and Archie said it a legitimate part of it

just from my own perspective in reading it I don't think she inserted anything into the story -- she simply presented it, which is what reporting is.
if there's race involved in the story then it's right there for us to read -- no need to get out the crayons and color things in for us.

the king version is very much more like a piece of advocacy trying to sell you on whatever pov he has.
it's very hard for me to read king's piece and take any of that seriously while some guy's transparently trying to sell me a used car, and it's the sensationalist nonsense that detracts from the message, or the story, is how I should phrase it.

also, while you might say race is a big part of the story, so you'd expect king to turn this into a creative writing project, it's actually about the sexual harassment that women tend to deal with in the workplace + elsewhere, and the author of this version happens to be a woman --- yet still didn't make it about herself, or make it any more colorful than it was.
I'm nobody to critique writing, but king's was more like something you'd expect from a college student in writing class.

No question King had an agenda. Race, the Mannings, U of TN, etc. With that said, I do think he justified a good chunk of it with the 74 page doc. In the article, the race issue he started out with was total click-bait as it was a relatively minor part (but important) to the overall Jamie v Mannings story.

It makes sense. That's part of the problem there.

Shouldn't be a big deal. Find someone to act as a stringer and they can sign all the paperwork you prepare in their name.

IMO the longer Peyton ignores this the worse it gets. He immediately called the HGH stuff "garbage" and threatened to sue Al Jazeera for defamation - then never did. Now this resurfaces and he's somehow nowhere to be found...?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Holy crap. Tanguay and Tonic is characterizing Manning as the Wilt Chamberlin of the NFL.

When I was in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl in 2012, the year the Patriots lost to the Giants, the locals couldn't wait to tell about the escapades of, according to them, a promiscuous Peyton Manning. One waiter told of conquests in coat rooms. Others discussed a variety of female partners. These people were, without prompting, singing like birds about Manning. It was a little crazy.

So put it all together: The incident in Knoxville. The arrogance Manning showed by not letting the story die, leading to the victim receiving a settlement from the Manning Machine. The off-field chatter in Indy. The HGH scam.

It all adds up to a deviant fraud.

Manning's story is unreal

Ok- this is rather interesting. There used to be a gossip hack called "Ted Casablanca" who worked for the e-online or E network (Hollywood news& gossip channel) that would post these" blind gossip" items, because of liability he said he couldn't post the persons actual name, he always had these big blinds about someone he called "Pepper Harthman" or something... he was a from a famous football family (& he was a FBplayer himself)cheated on his wife left and right and did all sorts of nasty stuff but he was so beloved by the town but no one ever exposed him... he insinuated that the player in question paid people off & intimidated them....I'm going to see if I can find some of his old stuff!

Yeah, I've heard those rumors too... He's been accused of infidelity many many times. There's quite a few cases of ol' Peyton lying about many things in many ways. But yeah there's no way he took HGH it's garbage
