OT: ESPN Cuts the Feed on Manning's Presser When He's Asked About The Assault
I didn't see this live, because I'd rather put my testicles on a hot rusty stove than watch Manning drone on about his career, but apparently ESPN cut away from the live feed when Manning was asked by a female reporter about "the allegations from 20 years ago."

Two thoughts: 1. I have very little doubt they did this on purpose, which should dispel everyone's lingering thoughts that ESPN might be a real news organization. 2. Assuming they did do this on purpose, I think they did Manning a great disservice. He seemed prepared to provide a reasonable answer, but this really makes him look like he's avoiding the subject at all costs.
just like he got Eli to NY.
a Nationwide or Papa John's commercial.............
Omaha!
his SEC distress signal and they pulled the plug.
I'll be putting my testicles on a nice clean glasstop stove. I like a nice modern stove to put my junk on.
holding one in each hand, alternating squeezes like an exercise ball. Stoves don't do it for me.
I thought you just dangled your junk???
This picture has broken MGoBlog, and therefore the internet.
Apparently MeanJoe07 is still single!
ESPN is the worst. A complete journalistic disgrace of an organization and not much better on the entertainment front. They are the largest reason for the price of cable and the biggest impediment to an a la carte system that works better for individuals.

Why does anyone actually care about this?!?
Even if you take this at its absolute worst possible interpretation, he put his balls as a joke in someone's face. Is there any reason to still be speaking about a ballsack joke 20 years after the fact?!?

And MSM believes you cannot handle the truth. Meanwhile Maria Sharapova, living in "repressive" Russia, believes you can deal with it. Unlike MSM pressters, Sharapova is pretty hot so who you gonna believe? I voted Sharapova as did Archie Manning.
Maria Sharapova is old and washed up at this point, and has lived in the US for the last 22 years.
what i've read it was a legitimate rx. personally, i think she is still quite attractive.

The IDIOT who asked that question must be too dense to realize all she had to do was ask Michigan fans what happened!
Michigan fans are know everything!!!

I refused to watch the presser but only because ESPN did not televise it using Floor Seats technology. Silly ESPN.
Believe me, I agree that ESPN lost its usefulness long, long ago, but this is a bit of a stretch.
Why would ESPN cut off Peyton's ability to respond to the question? If it was nefariously trying to protect Peyton, wouldn't it run the conference on a delay and thus, be able to cut off the question itself, rather than the answer? Once the question is asked, the cat is out of the bag and any damage is done. Cutting off Peyton doesn't provide any benefit.
If ESPN is trying to help Peyton by allowing a reporter's question about a scandalous topic to be aired but subsquently cutting off his own answer on the subject, they must have a pretty shitty view about Peyton Manning and his speaking abilities.

The reporter Lindsay Jones worked for the Denver Post for many years covering the Broncos and is now at USA Today ...she is the "female reporter" you're too lazy to look up and is a solid professional who was victim of downsizing at the DP, due to the general decline of print media.
Second, what the the obsession with Peyton Manning on this board? Is it that he lost the Heisman to Woodson and folks can't get over it or is it the current 0-2 streak (8-9 overall) Brady has against the Broncos and everyone is a bandwagon patriots fan..?
Finally, why the fuck would you watch ESPN to then bitch about it? ESPN sucks.
Most importantly, the presser was on in our office with folks gathered around to watch it and the audio never went out during the event -- before, during or after Lindsay's question.
So ...
No, it's our sad realization how good a QB he could have become if Jim Harbaugh had coached him. We feel sorry for the lad.
meh.
