Peyton Manning dodged dog-bite deposition with help of dutiful wife

Peyton Manning allegedly avoided being sued over a dog-bite by saying that the pooch belonged to his wife.

Harold Martin, a groundskeeper, claims that he was trimming hedges near the Mannings' Indianapolis home when their dog ran out and bit him, according to a report in NY Daily News on Tuesday.

Martin filed for damages in 2010, but Peyton, now a quarterback for the Denver Broncos, was able to avoid a deposition by saying that the dog belonged to his better half not him.

Later, when his wife is under scrutiny for receiving and using HGH, he was quoted as saying, "She's not my wife, she belongs to the dog."

Nothing to see here. Who hasn't blamed their dog attacking people on their wife? Pure tabloid garbage.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

In fairness to Manning, he was just avoiding having to take the time to be deposed in this legal case. So he sent his wife, who I'm guessing (when she is not ingesting large amounts of HGH) has much more time on her hands than PEDton.

I'm sure their house insurance handled whatever claim the landscaper had.

SMEAR CAMPAIGN!!!!

Looks like Chris Carter's advice comes in real handy for Peyton.

In 2003, Peyton Manning did not come to a complete stop before turning right. The light was red. The police officer buried the incident after being threatened by Manning that he would contest the ticket. In fact, the officer now claims he couldn't be sure if Manning stopped for a full "one Mississippi" count or not.

Corruption.

 

[Kontradiction]

I like how quickly the sharks have circled around Manning now that he's won Super Bowl #2. More success comes with a price eh, Peyton? Only, in your case, you look like you deserve every bit of this.

"Listen, when you marry a woman, she got to know: if **** goes down, she goin' to jail!"

 

[turkeyneck]

His wife? Not 'some black guy' like with the TN trainer incident? How diverse of Peyton.

Peyton Manning Tirelessly Studying Footage Of Athletes Denying Allegations

“You can ask him where Roger Clemens’ eyes were each time he says ‘It never happened’ on the 60 Minutes interview about the Mitchell Report, and Peyton can tell you. I swear, he’s got an encyclopedic knowledge of this stuff going back to the 1985 MLB cocaine trials. He’s just so focused and determined to beat the case.” Robinson added that Manning has also been meeting three hours a day with a public-speaking coach to work on the fundamentals of nonverbally conveying disbelief.

I want to be serious here for a second: there's this really common trend in sports reporting (and really just reporting as a whole) that I find really pathetic and unprofessional.

It goes like this: first, a player comes into the limelight for some reason, usually for something bad. Then, in the ensuing week, the media starts looking for every skeleton in their closet. Stories from years ago are brought up, and it just becomes a big pile-on. You start hearing anecdotal stories ("oh, him? Yeah, he was a **** in high school"), stuff long-forgotten, etc... It's almost like a giant smear campaign.

I saw the same thing happen with Adrian Peterson. Remember when he was in that child abuse scandal? Well, then like a week or two after that surfaced, new stories emerged. "Oh, look at these pictures from 14 months ago." Why did it take 14 months for that story to surface? It's almost like nobody cared to hear about it back then, because the media hadn't started their Anti-Hero Campaign yet.

It's almost like... we polarize every public figure. They're either the Good Guy or they're the Bad Guy. Depending on public perception, every report that comes out is used to fuel that narrative. You're either a Fairytale Hero of you're a Disney Villain. There is no in between. Manning is yet another public figure undergoing the transition to the latter. Let's dig up all of these old stories to help complete that transformation.

It's actually quite staggering how often this happens. Virtually any time a prominent athlete/celebrity comes into a negative light, we're just inundated with a bunch of stories of past transgressions that we had never heard about before.

Lol his poor wife

 

[patriot1136]

Wait, a woman actually married Peyton Manning?

Thanks for being serious, he is still a scumbag.

Maybe the HGH was for the dog. That would explain a lot.

Depending on the story and nature of the incident that was dug up.

I think there is some hilarity with this most recent story. PM's dog bits gardener and his wife takes the bullet. Clearly PM is hyper-sensitive to off-the-field news so this makes sense. They eventually paid the guy off. OK. I hate Peyton but this story is a non-starter in terms of importance and relevance to the current news about him.

However, with more digging we learned that AP has several children with several woman and hardly saw them with any regularity.

When OJ murdered his wife and her friend, we learned that he abused her multiple times and stalked her repeatedly before the murders.

Both of those examples inform us regarding the type of people they really are.

So....in terms of being responsible, the reporter (and editor) should have the intelligence and journalistic professionalism to only run to copy with news that is relevant as it pertains to adding color to the subject and story itself.

I thought you were joking at first, then I clicked the link and started laughing for real.

Most people don't know this but it was Ashley, not Peyton, who threw the pick-6 to Tracy Porter against the Saints in the Super Bowl.
