I can't stand Shaun King, but I know the track athlete in the story. I can't speak for anything leading up to or after the locker room incident, but everything in his letter to Peyton and his testimony are true.

ElitdawgRecruiting, Not trying to be snarky but I know 100% for a fact it did happen. I also know the only witness to the incident.

Which is totally fine. Everyone has a right to their opinion. I won't change yalls mind and you won't change mine for sure. On the bright side it wasn't Bulldogs so we can all say Hail State to that

I chuckle and wave off anything on a message board that begins with "100%". That is completely laughable unless you were standing within arm's length of the act being discussed with your eyes/ears open. If you were, then I will accept your word. I see it on a regular basis here whether it involves recruiting, supposed actions/comments from our athletic department/coaches/players, etc. Get out of here with "100%" unless you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears and were completely sober at the time. Pure comedy.

ISWYDT Just like all those teams that try to disparage the beautiful campus and Rebals.

He was an immature kid who did something he should not have. UTenn took his side (see: star athlete) and engaged in a brutal cover up. They engineered a sealed settlement.

The real jerky thing Peyton did was to attack her in the book. He should have just left it alone and out of the book. After all, he was the one in the wrong in the incident. That is what caused the second lawsuit and what was really classless.

All this relates to the Manning attitude that everything they do is classy and if you disagree, you are just jealous and wrong.

Holding athletes on pedestals is stupid. I don't hate Manning but I'm also not going to defend him like he's not a flawed human being (like the rest of us). Fun fact: you can see him for who he is and still appreciate what he did on the field. They're not mutually exclusive.

Next y'all are going to tell me Brett Favre was an upstanding citizen lol.

Absolutely. They would have taken the "meat and veg" with them as evidence.

Point taken. However, I was trying to make the point that he was literally adding insult to injury. Further, the "insult" came as a mature man.

No, unless you are a vegan, tree hugging, screaming ass sociaslist liberal.

Archie would do anything to preserve his appointment to sainthood.

The had 20 years or so to report it, but they waited until the triumphant end of his career. That says the story doesn't carry its own weight.

I believe the Mannings broke the gag order when they wrote about it in the book. That combined with the new lawsuit involving more than just Peyton is why it is coming up now.
