Sounds more to me that this writer has an axe to grind with Manning and this so called DR. was just trying to be a gold digger.

At that point, she said, he forcefully maneuvered his naked testicles and rectum directly on her face with his penis on top of her head.

You have shown no mercy or grace to this lady who was on her knees seeing if you had a stress fracture.

I'm embarrassed to even be typing such things, but imagine if a grown man forced his genitals on to the face of your daughter or sister or mother or beloved colleague.

In her remaining time at the university, Naughright testified that Manning, in her presence, on two separate occasions, deliberately reenacted the sexual assault on other student athletes to terrorize her. On another occasion he allegedly called her a "bitch" in front of other athletes after snatching a marker used to label drug-test specimens from her hand and throwing it across the room (see page 22).

Beloved both by athletes and her colleagues, Naughright had decided she'd never discuss the sexual assault by Manning publicly. In fact, both she and Manning signed a confidentiality agreement when she left the University of Tennessee that they would not discuss it.

Yet, in 2001, after moving on and revitalizing her career, everything came crashing down again. Now a quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, and more famous than ever, Manning violated the confidentiality agreement in a way that could not be undone. It has scarred Naughright like a scarlet letter to this very day.

In it, were Xerox copies from some type of publication. It appeared to be written by Peyton Manning and it was about her. Colleagues who saw her after opening it testified that she was shaken up by what she read. Manning and his father, Archie, had written a book called "The Mannings" and perhaps wanting to put their stamp on the incident in Knoxville before it ever reached the public, they threw Naughright under bus.

Gold digger? Yes, people who go to school for a decade are usually gold diggers.









This one really sounds like a gold digger:





Why would a woman who is a "gold digger" risk her entire career? Did you even read the article?

You are a part of the problem.

That article was only written with only one perspective. The writer had a real axe to grind if you ask me. Also, seems like there were other issue with the DR and Manning. Who by the way was a young college student and the other a university staff member. I think she has a real problem with men sports and was trying to hard to win a power struggle. She lost. Manning has been a class act moving forward end of story.

Other issues with the doctor being what? That he wouldn't have sex with her? He was clearly lying about her and she not about him.

You are a part of the problem.

She was having issues with her boss. She was having issues with Manning. When she points fingers she has to remember that 4 other fingers are pointing back at her.

In fact, Jamie Naughright had been a staple across all sports programs at the University of Tennessee and had more tenure than most of the football staff, including the head coach at the time, Phillip Fulmer.

Starting as a student in 1988, Naughright devoted her entire life to the University of Tennessee athletic program. She was a student trainer for the women's athletic programs and a supervisor for intramural sports on campus. From 1989-91, she was the student trainer for the men's athletic department. After earning her bachelor's degree and entering grad school, she became the graduate assistant trainer for the men's athletic program for two years. Gifted and respected throughout the campus, she was hired as the assistant trainer for the entire men's athletic program in 1993, following a year as a full-time intern.

After two years in that role, she was hired as the Director of Health and Wellness for the Men's Athletic Program. In that position she developed widely acclaimed educational and medical programs for students and oversaw the drug testing of all of the male athletes. She presented academic papers, served as an instructor and lecturer for college courses, and traveled frequently with students and staff to conferences all over the country. She started successful community projects and raised funds for local charities.

While serving as the Director of Health and Wellness, Naughright also was the head trainer for Tennessee's track and field program, which includes cross country, indoor, and outdoor athletics. In that position she hired and trained 25 staff members, oversaw all medical care for every track and field athlete, served as the medical director for large events, coordinated annual physicals and supervised weekly drug testing. So many athletes — which would eventually include medal-winning Olympians — developed such a deep respect for Dr. Naughright that she would be requested to travel with them to international events and world championships.

So many issues:





Sounds like a real problem.

Like you. You are a part of the problem.

Fact - She made this story up! Fact - She was let go! Fact - Manning is a class act! Fact - This writer should be fired from drumming up a story that must have been proven false 20+ years ago. He was never charged or convicted. I live in a society where all people are innocent until proven guilty except in the liberal media. Let's face it the liberal media hates Peyton Manning.

Wow. You really are a part of the problem. I have no further need to talk to you about this subject as it is clear that you have no clue what you are talking about. You are just the crazy guy on the street corner.

When she points fingers she has to remember that 4 other fingers are pointing back at her.

How many fingers do you have on your hand?

One person, though, could settle all of this: Malcolm Saxon.

And, in fact, he did settle it. In an affidavit, Saxon refuted Manning's story and made it clear that Manning never mooned him. In a letter to Manning, Saxon, who stated that he lost his eligibility as a student-athlete over it, practically begged him to come forward and tell the truth (see page 20). Here's an excerpt from the letter:

"First, I have stuck to my same story throughout this drama. I told Mike Rollo the next day and Coach Fulmer a week or two afterwards. I had nothing to hide at that point and I have nothing to hide today. I have never been on Jamie's side or on your side (contrary to what the athletic department was telling you and telling her). I stuck to the truth and I lost my eligibility for it. My redshirt request sat on Mike Rollo's desk for months as the process was going forward. I'm not angry about it anymore, just getting a little tired of it!!

"Peyton, you messed up. I still don't know why you dropped your drawers. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe not. But it was definitely inappropriate. Please take some personal responsibility here and own up to what you did. I never understood why you didn't admit to it...."

Saxon goes on to tell Peyton things like:

"Coming clean is the right thing to do.

You have shown no mercy or grace to this lady who was on her knees seeing if you had a stress fracture.

You might as well maintain some dignity and admit to what happened.

Your celebrity doesn't mean that you can treat folks this way."

I don't know, cfrs. Do you?

Like I said........I will bash him when he is convicted of this crime. Heck, I might even bash him even if it goes to trial.

I still don't think you should have called Day a "fool."

It will not go to trial. It was settled out of court. The only reason it was brought up again was because Manning broke the non-disclosure agreement.

I called him a fool because he said it was a fact that none of this occurred when the evidence clearly shows that something happened.

Fool seemed appropriate. I enjoy folks that need a conviction to tell them how to think and respond. What a country!

Three questions about Shaun King's story on Peyton Manning



By: Jon Heath | 18 hours ago
You’ve likely seen Shaun King’s story by now.

King’s story brings back into light a 13-year-old court filing about a 20-year-old incident involving Archie and Peyton Manning while the younger Manning was at the University of Tennessee.

The story goes that Manning essentially teabagged a female trainer in the locker room. You can read more about the incident in this Daily Beast article written days before King’s piece.

According to FOX Sports writer Clay Travis, the university settled the trainer’s lawsuit against them for $300,000. There was another lawsuit in 2003 when Manning mentioned the incident in his book, and Manning paid the trainer more money in a nondisclosure agreement for the second lawsuit.

Now the incident is being brought up again, and I have three questions.

1. WHO IS SHAUN KING, AND DOES HE HAVE AN AGENDA?

King is the Senior Justice Writer for the New York Daily News. I want to know if he wrote this story as a journalist trying to find the facts, or as someone who perhaps has something against Peyton Manning.

I don’t know what King’s intentions were, but I do know that Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote that the “article displays a clear anti-Peyton bias, and more than a little melodrama.” Regardless of whether or not King wrote the story without bias, it’s interesting that he was the one to bring the story back into conversation.

Last August, King came under scrutiny after claims were made about him not being black. Take a look at his response, via snopes.com:

I refuse to speak in detail about the nature of my mother’s past, or her sexual partners, and I am gravely embarrassed to even be saying this now, but I have been told for most of my life that the white man on my birth certificate is not my biological father and that my actual biological father is a light-skinned black man. My mother and I have discussed her affair. She was a young woman in a bad relationship and I have no judgment. This has been my lived reality for nearly 30 of my 35 years on earth. All of my siblings and I have different parents. I’m actually not even sure how many siblings I have. It is horrifying to me that my most personal information, for the most nefarious reasons, has been forced out into the open and that my private past and pain have been used as jokes and fodder to discredit me [emphasis added].

Look, I’m not comparing sexual assault allegations to people slamming King’s family. But it seems like King wanted people to look at the big picture and get both sides of the story before judging him and his family.

In response to accusations about him not being black last August, King tweeted that despite “having no journalistic standards at all, Breitbart decided to use a known white supremacist as their main source of info on ME” [emphasis added]. That tweet has since been deleted, but you can read it and others here.

It seems that King was upset that people did not go to him—they simply ran a seemingly one-sided story. King’s latest piece on Manning may be a similar case.

“It’s not apparent from Shaun King’s article that he sought comment or a response from Peyton or Archie Manning,” Florio wrote.

King also only spoke of the court document against Manning, which is understandable because that’s what was sent to him. But as an objective journalist, one should realize that the defendant also submitted documents, as PFT’s Florio pointed out:

The 74-page document is not objective. The 74-page document is not supposed to be objective. The 74-page document is not a court order or any other decision made by a neutral party. And, ultimately, the 74-page document is incomplete without comparing it to the corresponding “Facts of the Case” document submitted by the defendants in the case.

I don’t know if Manning assaulted a woman in college, but I do know that King’s story is one-sided. The accusations about Manning should be considered, but both sides need to be considered. It seems that King only presented one side (he also used the alleged victim’s name, which is somewhat surprising considering how he reacted to accusations about his own family).

(Of note, Florio also discussed redacted information in the document. I have not overlooked that such redacted information does not look good for Manning, but since we don’t know what it was about, and since that’s not the topic of discussion, that’s something to talk about another time.)

Is King a journalist trying to get to the bottom of the story, or is he an “anti-Manning” writer who wants to bring up an old story to discredit the quarterback?

You can make up your own mind about King’s intentions.

I have two more questions.

2. WHO SAID PEYTON MANNING IS A “SQUEAKY CLEAN” PERSON?

King seems to be upset that Manning is viewed as a “squeaky clean” person, but that’s hardly a knock against the veteran quarterback. Anyone that claims Manning is “squeaky clean” does not understand that humans are fallen creatures.

Nobody is perfect, not even Peyton Manning. If King is upset that Manning is perceived as a perfect person, he should attack those that believe it, not Manning himself.

But even if Manning is a generally good guy, why is that a bad thing? It seems that King was excited to have a moment of, “Ha! You thought he’s a good guy, but here’s something that he (allegedly) did in the past that’s not good!” If true, it’s terrible that Manning did that, but it doesn’t negate all the good that he’s done in life and it doesn’t mean that one (alleged) poor decision defines him as a person.

That brings up my final question.

3. HAS PEYTON MANNING DONE ANYTHING SIMILAR SINCE THESE ACCUSATIONS?

I am not defending sexual assault. I am not excusing sexual assault.

But it should be considered if Peyton Manning has done anything similar since these accusations. Was it a one time incident in 1996? Was it perhaps possible that Manning was a college student that made a poor decision in a moment of immaturity?

Is it possible that many people did things in college that they regretted? (And that’s assuming the allegation against Manning is true). Is Manning a terrible person for doing something regrettable in college and (as far as we know) never doing anything similar ever again after college?

Do twenty-year-old mistakes define who people are, even if they (appear) to have been isolated incidents? Again, I’m not justifying Peyton Manning. What he (allegedly) did was terrible, wrong, and disgusting.

We shouldn’t brush the accusations under the rug and pretend that they never happened. Nor should we act like this redefines who Manning is and has become.

As far as we know, this is not the kind of Peyton Manning that we know today. Maybe that’s naive, but until someone finds evidence to suggest otherwise, Manning has not had any similar incidents since college.

You may have drawn different conclusions from my questions—and that’s fine—but please consider them when reviewing King’s piece.

I agree, this isn't a racial issue. Remember when Cam said, "if you don't want me celebrating in the end zone, keep me out of there!" Well, Denver accepted his challenge and he shouldn't pout about it.

So how did you react when Peyton Manning stormed off the field when he lost to the Saints and didn't congratulate Brees or anybody?

Crowell and Gurley smiling and trading jerseys right after STL destroyed us annoyed me.
