Manning Settled Defamation Suit in 2003

[mraynrand]

Of course Cam was suspended and forced to leave UF, transfer to juco Brinn college. And has had to combat the "thug" stigma his entire career. Peyton got off scott free and is the white bread class act of the NFL.

I admit I don't follow college football terribly close, but this is the first I heard Cam had any problems. Manning too. But when I was a student athlete tutor in college I heard and saw all kinds of nasty crap, and it wasn't racially or even gender 'excused' - it was generally excused or hidden for the star players and the minor players got the book thrown at them and expelled..

Its absolutely a service provided to star players. The trainer was trying to get one of the lesser players to take the blame. That University and the Governor would have fired the Board of Regents in order to keep Manning.

I just find Manning's deflections particularly awful. And the use of bigoted slurs to tarnish her reputation is particularly despicable. Though possibly still quite prevalent in his home state.

Disgusting.

Yup, and when Newton got in trouble, he was the backup QB, not the starter.

I was just told by a current ESPN anchor that all ESPN employees were told not to report or discuss the Daily News story on Peyton Manning.

Much of what is in the document has previously been discussed. But this seems a piece with coverage so far. Its not being picked up in a lot of places.

It was trending like crazy on Facebook for a while...for whatever that's worth. There was an interesting response on FOX Sports by this guy, who writes like a fanboy.

Either way, if there are legal documents out there, I'd think they speak for themselves. Hoax or no, I certainly wouldn't want any woman I know -- whether family, friend, colleague -- to be treated this way.
Everybody does dumb stuff in college, but I think there are limits.

Travis' piece would be more convincing if he didn't believe (despite the target's affidavit otherwise) that the mooning wasn't directed at another player, but at the trainer.

The mooning of another player narrative came up when the trainer tried to get it to blow over. Manning repeated a version of it in his book.

As to the question of to whom Manning wanted to show his ass, Malcolm Saxon, a track and field athlete who was in the room during the incident, wrote a letter to Manning to say that no, he was not the intended moon-ee (as Manning had written in his book), imploring him to “maintain some dignity and admit to what happened… Your celebrity doesn’t mean you can treat folks that way… Do the right thing here.”

It would also be more believable if Travis could explain why a simple mooning incident cost the University $300,000 to settle (from the Daily Beast article linked), why Maning sought to trash her reputation and why he had to pay her again in 2003 and might have had to pay her again in 2005 (don't have any details other than another lawsuit was filed due to an appearance on ESPN).

I have seen a LOT of mooning in my life (probably more than is responsibly admitted). It cost no one dining privileges and north of $300,000. And two lawsuits.

Sue me!

Oh wow, a young man who had a lot of glory on the football field thought this woman wanted the D. Big whoop. Something was going on where he had his pants off. He dropped his scrotum and rectum in her face. At that point he probably realized he read the situation wrongly and stopped. He was a young man learning how to navigate life with a sex drive that can be confusing in the sense that it overpowers the mind with feelings that seem like reality. Just say no, ladies. If he keeps going, that's where it becomes a problem to me. A guy thinking a girl wants sex until she specifies...... Get over it. That's life. Especially with young men.

It's logical what you post here and I agrre with it as we were at Peyton Manning 's age.

The trouble is that it's gotten much more different then when we were of the age Peyton Manning was when this took place.

The funny thing all the same is that today in many places 's a dog is still allowed it's first bite.

What would a count of the number of harassment lawsuits or police investigations of assault that members of this board had experienced by their 22nd birthday reveal? I guess the number is close to 1 than 1 per person. Not to mention the settlement amount or subsequent 2 lawsuits.

SI is on the case, and is saying its cache of documents differ from the Daily News doc.

1. 2002 lawsuit alleges grossly inappropriate conduct but does not specify gluteus maximus, taint and testicles on the head as the conduct. PFT thinks this misreads a court filing for a detailed statement of alleged conduct.

2. 1996 affidavit though does not mention junk on head at all. Though its description of the event is bare bones enough that this event could still fit inside its description. But the detail or direct mention of specific conduct is absent.

The Peyton Manning I know from the Nationwide commercials would never commit any wrong, or at least any wrong that everyone else hadn't committed as well. Plus, of course, everyone has also texted a picture of their genitals to a cheerleader at least once in their life. You're a guy, it's what you do. <- sorry, wrong insurance company.

[pbmax]

I wonder of the lost wages insurance that colleges allow undergrads/schools to purchase includes umbrella coverage for assault or defamation?

[mraynrand]

I wonder if Nationwide is on Peyton's side
