I guess I fall on the side that thinks that Manning is an entitled ass. After reading some of the documents and listening to interviews he appears to be a lot like Lance Armstrong.
Not at all, I just think you would make a great Muslim patriarch under Sharia law.
If Peyton hadn't attacked the young woman in his book, I would agree. But since he brought it up there, he's fair game.
Time to strip his 08 super bowl victory and give it to the Chicago Bears 
Isn't the media just reporting the allegations? Atleast, that is what they seem to be doing here in DSM.
There was a gag order about the situation. Both parties agreed to never talk about it. She held up her end, and he blabbed about it in his book. Now she's suing for defemation, because it killed her academia career.
Or something like that.
The real issue going on right now is that him and Archie tried to have innocent black players take the fall.

After reading the documents I agree. It is very disturbing. Actions speak louder than words.
Come on joel...you know they are stirring the shit stick...it is what they do.
I don't think you have a full understanding of the situation. Attached is an article with the court documents from the 2003 defamation case. Peyton and Archie have been on the wrong side of this case from the get-go. The manner in which they attempted to destroy this women's career at every turn is Lance Armstrong-esque and shows a major character flaw. What they were possibly thinking by bringing up this issue in Peyton's book is mind-boggling.
Peyton acted like an immature frat boy in 1996 when the incident occurred and has acted like an entitled ass in his handling of it ever since. I know Archie is doing what any dad would do to defend his son, but he's looked like an ass as well.
Peyton has been proven a liar at about every juncture in this saga and the former female trainer has been proven to be in the right. Those are just the inconvenient facts that are being correctly reported.

I have read and listened to a ton of stuff on this case and it doesn't paint a very good picture for the Manning family. I don't think its a stretch to look at the Manning's and realize that this is a cultivated situation where dad has done everything to keep the family image squeaky clean and when something/one interferes with this the blame goes to the other party not the family or kids. All of this could have been avoided multiple times but the Mannings are the ones not letting this die. All Peyton would have had to do is suck it up give an old "kids will be kids, and i'm sorry" speech and this would be all over. Hell they had it over but Archie had to blab about it in his book to sell a few more copies (BTW don't read it....its freaking awful).
This was a family brought up to be perfect and when things didn't work out they turned to intimidation and slander instead of responsibility....I don't think anyone really cares about Peyton farting in some SA's face or putting his junk on her head, it was rude and classless but he was 20.....its easily forgivable in this culture. The issue is the cover up and what seems to be a systematic history of intimidation and lack of accepting any kind of responsibility for actions that are unbecoming of a person who wants to be widely loved by everyone.
Of a more personal opinion I found it very interesting as I attended a few Superbowl parties to see so many women (and some men for that matter) rooting on Peyton and despising Cam Newton before, during, and after the game. The argument always centered around all these bad things they believe Cam had done while at junior college, Auburn, and now with Carolina while the only thing they can remember about Peyton is Papa John's commercials and SNL. What isn't amazing to me is how social media has affected our opinion of two guys that both did dumb things in college and how that's affected them in their careers so far but that people are willing to dig for bad info about Cam(which is readily available) but aren't willing to look under the surface at a guy like Peyton. The question is why? Are we more prone to look at a black athlete like this or is it as simple as we WANT to like Peyton and Cam makes for an easy heel with his showboating?
For me it wasn't an interesting Super Bowl for teams I like. I root for KC so Denver isnt my cup of tea but I was happy to see Ferentz get a ring. I don't care for Carolina but I do have many friends in Charlotte and they have nothing but nice things to say about how that team and organization have poured their hearts back into the city and have done things the right way to get where they are and to get support. Cam is a part of that whether we like that or not as fans of the collective NFL. What I enjoyed most about the Super Bowl was seeing people's reaction to both players that IMO are cut from the same jock cloth.

Very good post. I kind of cheered for Carolina when I lived there for 10 years. It is the only professional football team I have been to games. But they are, in my opinion, very lucky there in the ownership. And other than Kerry Collins' drinking and Rae Curruth, they have pretty much fostered excellent community relations.
Yeah, the media should keep attacking Jameis Winston and Cam Newton...right?
This is a text book example of the attempted cover-up of the mistake being 100 times worse than the actual mistake.
