I'm pretty sure there was at least one game last year where JJ Watt had two roughing penalties. I can only imagine the howls if he'd been ejected. Then you'd get into the problem of refs not wanting to flag big name stars. Yeah, that sounds like a mess.

Honestly, we need to see more of this, not less.

This was not called roughing the holder and not a personal foul.

Chris Conte of the Buccaneers tried the old jump-the-line-and-block-the-field-goal play. But he missed, hit the Colts' holder, and was called for a rare "leaping" penalty, giving the Colts a first down.
Leaping is classified as unsportsmanlike conduct.

ESPN
If Johnny Manziel doesn't receive help, he won't make it to his next birthday, his father told The Dallas Morning News on Friday.

Manziel's father, Paul, told the newspaper that the Cleveland Browns quarterback has refused to enter area rehab facilities twice in the past week. He said the family tried to get Manziel to enter a local addiction facility on Saturday, but Manziel refused to stay. Paul Manziel said he tried to have his son admitted to a psychiatric and chemical dependency hospital on Tuesday, but Manziel was allowed to leave even though his father told officers that he believed Manziel was suicidal.

Maybe not as many as I should. :)

The over the top presentation of just how much of an exceptional assistant trainer she was just seemed odd, like it was written by her publicist or agent. I don't even know what it means to be a "gifted" assistant athletic trainer.

I'd be real curious to know what the earlier incident was that set the stage for Peyton's animosity towards her.

As for the timing of this coming out now, I would assume the settlement funds maybe are running dry and you've got to strike while Peyton's still in the spotlight caring about his legacy. If he did things as presented though, fuck him.

Unsurprisingly given the adequate performance of Langford and Carey, the Bears told Forte to find work elsewhere. Speculation has Robbie Gould following suit as his performance this year wasn't deemed worth his premium price.

The Peyton stuff is coming out because it was mentioned in a Title IX lawsuit - it doesn't really have anything to do with Peyton and isn't asking anything of him. It's simply using this as an example of how Tennessee failed to make it's workplace safe for everyone. It's really old news that people are acting like this is the first time they ever heard of it.

Some context. The 74-page finding of facts that the Daily News guy reported as gospel is the filing that her lawyers made in her lawsuit against him. As PFT notes, it's an advocacy piece, obviously biased against Manning.

Which doesn't make him innocent, it's just curious to me why the DN reporter is so gung ho. Although it explains where his over the top descriptions of the woman are coming from (her lawyers).

Regardless, the lawsuit by her against Manning was settled in 1997. This isn't a new allegation.

This is not to say Manning did or didn't do it...just that reporters acting surprised are being disingenuous.

Was listening to SiriusXM today and the Manning story came up. The host (Pat Kirwan) is a very highly respected former front office guy with the Jets. The Jets had the first pick in the draft when Peyton was a junior, and they had to be prepared in the event that he declared for the draft. The had heard about the incident and had their investigators dig into it.

He obviously wasn't going to go into details - but he did allow that if Peyton had declared, they would have drafted him number one overall without hesitation. There was nothing in their investigation that gave them pause. That was months after the incident, not 20 years.

I've heard enough to dismiss the Daily News reporter.

Oh, I don't think it was a pattern behavior on his part, but I'm rather inclined to believethat he did it. The ongoing cover up is worse than the offense, imho.

The "ongoing coverup" is part of what's more or less being fabricated/insinuated by her lawyers and the daily news reporter (inasmuch as that's the position of Mike Silver - a lawyer; and Kirwan - who had access to the Jets investigation). Allegedly of course.

I'm not saying that Manning did exactly what was alleged, BUT I don't think a Jets investigation and decision to draft Manning is all that compelling as evidence. If nothing else, especially given Manning's talent level, they're not really investigating for "did he do this?" but rather "is he likely to do things like this in the future to an extent that it would overwhelm how good he is at football and/or land him in jail?"

Plus, honestly, it's the Jets - that probably means that he did it 10 times, including in the presence of Jets investigators, and they didn't notice.

My opinion isn't formed by positive opinions of the Jets, per se. :)

But Pat Kirwan is the real deal. I trust him more than I trust Shaun King.

I will say that Shaun King's apparent acceptance of the plaintiff's statement of facts as essentially a 100% true statement of facts rather undermines his credibility.

My point is that everything that is known about this by Shaun King, who is pushing this story, is from the filing that her lawyers made. Like...I have to believe that his lawyers filed a brief as well, that made a compelling sounding argument that the allegations in the book weren't disproven, no?

There was no finding by the court with respect to what was true - outside of the denial of Manning's motion to dismiss. The case was settled before then.

We have one side of the story - that is crafted in such a way as to exert the maximum pressure possible to force a settlement. There are other people that have additional information. Those people have all discarded this story as nonsense. Of course, these same people also discarded all of the Deflategate stuff as nonsense as well, so what do they know? :)

There was no finding by the court with respect to what was true - outside of the denial of Manning's motion to dismiss. The case was settled before then.

We have one side of the story - that is crafted in such a way as to exert the maximum pressure possible to force a settlement. There are other people that have additional information. Those people have all discarded this story as nonsense. Of course, these same people also discarded all of the Deflategate stuff as nonsense as well, so what do they know? :)
Science. :D
