Public Opinion Turning?

[HaggardDawg]

He didn't just moon the track player and the trainer just happened to see it. He did what she says he did. She settled out of court with UT and the Mannings. Part of the deal was that she leave UT. Apparently the player he mooned wouldn't lie for Peyton so his scholarship was yanked.

Man , you need to Google Shaun King. I wouldn`t quote that guy if he said the sky was blue.

Its not one entity like the media, its society. We are polarized to defend or attack the other side without regard to reason. The opponent is the devil and our side are angels. The media is all to happy to feed our prejudices. .

Exactly! Cams antics pre and post super bowl were over analyzed and overly critical. Now its the othersides turn and the media is more than happy to be the conduit.

[DancingRabbit]

Not a manning backer of any kind. But this whole story is a lie.

Based on reading most of the affidavits in the PDF, I don't think the whole story is a lie. Why would all those people lie under oath? Sounds like Peyton was the one lying.

King definitely has an agenda and is probably trying to say that we should respect Cam more than Peyton because it is in his political best interest to say.

However, the documents are real and the affidavits are real and publicly available. First, Peyton was an obnoxious college football star (not the first or only one). 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.

The timing of this screams cam Newton \ Carolina butt hurt...

Oh and what a suck ass writer....how boring can he get?

[MidTNDawg]

This story is not a lie, trust me.

We were living in TN when this happened. We have some contacts at UT, and I do not find the story to be true.

He was an immature kid who did something he should not have.

I don't know if the language/events listed in the article are true, but if they remotely are, that was a little more severe than doing "something he should not have". That is sexual assault.

This is an old story. I have heard it way before this writer, whoever he may be, wrote it. And of course all those people wouldn't lie under oath. This (old) story along with the Deadspin story shows a pattern. It's pretty funny to me people will defend Peyton slapping his cock on a girls head and lying about HGH but those same people are the ones eviscerating Cam for not handling a press conference right.

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.

I say again and I know for a fact, this didn't happen. But if folks wanna believe it then not much I can do about that. Lol

Great post and I agree 100%

You conveniently left out Newton stealing laptops at Florida and taking a bribe to go to Auburn.

You realize people under oath who actually took part in the events disagree with you which led to lawsuit settlement? No offense but I won't take your word for it because you worked in East Tennessee. I'll take the word of those involved who were disposed under oath.

Nothing to do with my last comment. Cam was a shithead for stealing a laptop but that doesn't change anything about my post.

Well said, Beast.

Were you standing in the locker room when all this went down?

[AlmostPositive]

What exactly do you mean by "the same people"? Do you have an example or are you just making a generalization?

In any case, what someone thinks of Cam's press conference has no logical connection with whether not that person believes Manning did or did not do what he is accused of.

And you would be 100% wrong and I know you aren't as close to the situation as I was, unless you are the female.

The article was convincing to me. Please give us the skinny on this.
