OT: A second source stated that Peyton Manning received HGH
While Peyton and his Broncos earned the number one seed for the AFC playoffs, his story off the field is getting worse. This should get more and more interesting.

it always was sent to "Ashley Manning" not "Peyton".
sounds like either they (the Mannings) are very dumb, or this is not true.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
I once belonged to Ashley Manning. Never found a hot chick to have an affair with, but some hackers released my name and credit card number anyway. Life is such bullshit...
January 4th, 2016 at 3:28 PM ^
Haha. I got a very good laugh out of this, thank you.

I'm shocked CNN even picked this up given that mainstream sports media is actively covering this up.
I'm sure once this gains more steam on social media, the mainstream media will just make up another story about the Patriots cheating so everybody forgets about it.
ESPN already did it when Al-Jazeera responded with video evidence pointing to Guyer lying about Sly's employment dates.
Instead ESPN puts out some bullshit story from October about Miami bringing in extra personnel on the sidelines and stands to ensure the Pats don't cheat in Foxboro LOL.

They NYT, Washington Post, etc. cover the NFL. ESPN and CBS sell the NFL. They're going to be loathe to damage their product.
On a slightly different note, has Jim Nanz ever met a successful person he didn't worship?
January 4th, 2016 at 1:27 PM ^
then lies, hearsay, and circumstantial "evidence" are enough to try and destroy one of their superstars and the best QB ever. Gotta have their heel like the WWE.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:36 PM ^
That is still selling the NFL's message. The NFL wanted to perpetuate that message because the commish wanted to be perceived, by the other owners, as playing tough with his buddy, Kraft.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:39 PM ^
Tom Brady would get three months of coverage for J-walking.
Manning is all over TV hosting SNL, selling Papa Johns, Buick, and Nationwide Insurance. He is the soft, loving side of the NFL.

Goober from the Ess eee See. NASCAWR!

Maybe I'm just too midwestern, but Peyton looks and talks like he was kicked in the head by a horse. Maybe it's just his accent but, I cannot stand seeing him most of the time.
I'll admit a few of the commercials have been funny though. Guess him and his family are part of the good ole boys club which is why he's untouchable.

crucified Ray Rice (to be clear, he deserved it but still) and blew up the "scandal" of deflategate. This meme isn't accurate IMO.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:21 PM ^
Yet another reason that I loathe ESPN and the NFL.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
You keep me good. . . .(in the tune of the nationwide jingle.)
January 4th, 2016 at 1:26 PM ^
Like Barry Bonds...
January 4th, 2016 at 1:40 PM ^
I've noticed something similar. I saw a side-by-side pic recently of Peyton during his UT days and a recent one from the Broncos, but can't find it. Here are a couple different pics.
I have no idea if that's just the hairline receding or what. Maybe it's just the lighting in the pics. Maybe it's nothing.
His excuses or reasoning for going to that clinic after hours is flimsy at best.
Just a bunch of smoke at this point, but something kind of stinks.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:46 PM ^
Good lord, he went from a forehead to an eight-head!
January 4th, 2016 at 1:55 PM ^
fivehead to eighthead, imo.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:37 PM ^
Steroids (broad brush here) can alter bone structure pretty heavily. Forehead, chin, and jaw all tend to enlarge.
January 4th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
And that is what Peyton is accused of "abusing."
January 4th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
surprised if there is any truth to the story to begin with. I have been proven wrong before, but from everything I know about manning it's probably a crap story.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
January 4th, 2016 at 2:33 PM ^
Very classy of Peyton to tea-bag his trainer!
January 4th, 2016 at 3:42 PM ^
Hadn't heard the details of this Peyton exchange.
There's quite a distance between "mooning" and "unsolicited sitting-on-face."
January 4th, 2016 at 3:53 PM ^
January 4th, 2016 at 1:36 PM ^
Apparently making some "aw shucks" commercials with Papa John's and your brother make you impermeable to allegations of cheating.
Damn Tom Brady and Dez Bryant better call up Pizza Hut or Subway then. I hear Subway needs a new spokesperson..
January 4th, 2016 at 1:37 PM ^
Curious why you would say this. There are certainly things about Manning that would point to this being entirely possible. The dude is obsessed with football and must have felt that it was prematurely being taken away with his nick injuries. Is it that far out of the question to think that a guy with his level of obsession would do anything to keep his career alive, even if it meant breaking a rule or two? He must know that HGH/PED use is high among NFL players. He's also smart enough to create an extra level of insullation by having the drugs sent to his wife.
To me, he would have to be very publicly opposed to steroid use for me to think there's anything about Manning that would instantly having me say there's no chance of the story being true. To my knowledge, Manning has never taken such public stances.
I would probably lean towards him having used the HGH. They all basically acknowledge that his wife was receiving the packages. So we either accept that his wife has one of the extremely rare on-label reasons for needing it, his wife was using HGH for an unapproved usage, or a QB who was battling for his nfl career was taking the drugs to recover from injury. To me, one of those three is by far the most likely.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:59 PM ^
a nick injury while shaving this morning... I didn't need HGH to go to work.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:41 PM ^
January 4th, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
"He's such a quiet, respectful, polite guy who pretty much keeps to himself." That can be used to describe Peyton Manning and EVERY SERIAL KILLER EVER!
January 4th, 2016 at 2:32 PM ^
Damn, you're hitting it out of the park on this thread. Are you also on hgh?
January 4th, 2016 at 2:27 PM ^
say Manson "kept to himself," but he actually did not do a whole lot of killing himself. Bundy could be quite outgoing, regularly attending parties and dating. It is not odd that I know these things, not odd at all. DO NOT be alarmed.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
Jeff Dahmer lived on a quiet street with his grandmother when his killing spree began. He raped, murdered, dismembered and de-fleshed several men right there in her basement, without grandma being none the wiser. Good lord...
January 4th, 2016 at 2:53 PM ^
like you and I could have a good old fashion serial killer discussion. Some other time, maybe.
January 4th, 2016 at 7:00 PM ^
H.H. Holmes is still my favorite, and he was a...MICHIGAN MAN... Ugh...
January 4th, 2016 at 9:59 PM ^
a guy we took down years ago. 64 murdered...one at a time.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:24 PM ^
So you know nothing about Manning then. Got it.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
As I said in an earlier thread - It was not tested for in the NFL until 2011-ish. It may have been against the rules, but it seems like it was sort of a "wink, wink - nudge, nudge" rule.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:27 PM ^
Aside from the obvious fact that there were no semi-obvious facts to implicate Brady before the Super Bowl, yet every media outlet in the US - led by the Four-Letter - attributed vague and unsourced statements (later proved false) as fact. Why should anyone be "sour"??
It makes me insanely angry to even type this response.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:50 PM ^
Seems extremely Homer-ish to me.
By the way I think Brady would have gotten the same "pass" if he weren't associated with Bellicek (sp?).
Seemed to me the media wanted to bring BB down but then everything got shifted to Brady when then couldnt get it to stick to Bill.
January 4th, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
January 4th, 2016 at 2:03 PM ^
Just feel that it is almost as much of a non-story as the deflategate stuff.
HGH was NOT tested for until 2011 and therefore was more of a "don't ask - don't tell" issue than rule-breaking. I would guess that a high percentage of players used it if the story continues to dig.
I am not a Manning fan or a big NFL fan - I just think the angarrr here is more over the Brady thing and the relative profile of the story in the MSM than what Manning may have done.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:27 PM ^
It's about the media controlling the narrative. Plain and simple. What's right is right, wrong is wrong, but not in the media or entertainment business. It's disgusting, and they should all be held to account.
January 4th, 2016 at 2:55 PM ^
January 4th, 2016 at 3:51 PM ^
*sigh
January 4th, 2016 at 1:33 PM ^
I think the indignation is pointed more towards the NFL. What with Greg Hardy being a complete dickhead and the media latching to POTENTIALLY deflated footballs with all the power of a sea lamprey on meth.
The importance of NFL discipline - - - Anything that New England does, Johnny Manziel, endzone dancing, ???, anything significant that can harm the NFL.
They turn a blind eye to spousal abuse, slurs in team names, owners with serious legal problems, and concussions. To offset that, they punish dancing, partying, and whatever soup du jour they are after.
Goodell is a joke. He belongs in politics like Dave Brandon.
I don't know if that's more of an indictment on those two or politics...
January 4th, 2016 at 2:04 PM ^
Do you have any evidence whatsoever that Sea Lampreys use methamphetamines?
You are part of the problem, 1484. Part of the problem...
