Did you know that Tennessee had to pay out $300,000 for Peyton Manning shoving his balls in the face of a w trainer?

Note how easy it would have been for the other athletes to circle wagons and defend the famous Manning. Reading the Daily Beast article where the references to the other athletes not sticking up for Manning's claims lends a lot of support to this woman. Unfortunate that she suffered the recurrent harrassment at future job when all she wanted to do was put this incident behind her.

But why in the hell would Manning be so dumb as to ever mention the incident again in violation of confidentiality agreements x 2? Is he really the second coming of old "one-nut" Armstrong?

His repeated references and the way he handles the issue of women in the locker room in his book excerpt speak volumes for his particular feet of clay.

It's actually a tragic story. Jamie was well in her way to breaking the gender barrier and becoming the head athletic trainer at at power five conference school. She was also a trainer for the US Olympic team in 1996 and had all her expenses paid for while her bosses at UT had to cover their own expenses for the Olympic Games in 1996. They hated her because of this and did her no favors in the scandal.

The attacks by Peyton and Manning supporters led to her leaving an SEC school to a lesser school and being black balled in her professional career because of this. Then he comes out years later and slanders her again. What he did as a young man was childish and forgivable if he had accepted responsibility for his UNDISPUTED actions that day. UT messed up by blaming the woman when their golden child acted up. She was only doing her job. Her entire educational career and life's work was taken from her because again, she was black balled from the profession.

My brother was on the track team and roommates with Malcom while he was at Tennessee. She was nothing but exemplary in her work and everyone on the track team loved her.

In the summer of 2014 I interned at an athletic training facility, and one of the trainers there played football at Tennessee while Peyton was there.

One day I asked him if he knew Peyton, and he said he did. He commented on how nice of a guy he was, hard worker, blah blah blah. So I ask if he had any funny Peyton stories, and he proceeded with this tale.

There was a nerdy athletic trainer that helped out with the football team that everyone kinda messed around with. Well, one day Peyton goes up to the kid and asks him if he knows what an atomic sit up is, and the kid is oblivious to the trap.

So Peyton explains that it's a dynamic core exercise that all of the football players do to get ripped. He had the AT lie in the sit up position with his eyes closed while someone held his shoulders. The AT's shoulders are released, he flies forward, and his nose lands in the hiney of a future 2 time super bowl champ.

I had a good chuckle when he told me the story. When I later found out about his misconduct with the female athletic trainer it made sense.

A friend of mine played for Majors and Fulmer and said stuff like this and more happened all the time and because they were football players nothing would happen or at worst they would hush with a small payout or sometimes they would just apologize.

The worst part of this is Archie going along acting like people are out to get Peyton, he know's better...Yeah I also DON'T believe Ashley, Peyton was taking HGH but the NFL doesn't care if it's big stars do it ...Just like Bolt is the biggest druggie out there and the IAAF could care less.

I've been reading a lot about this story today as it's gone mainstream as the NY Daily News has run a series of flawed stories on the situation. Here are a few links I recommend on the story.

He TOTALLY misread what the judge stated.

Here is a great summary article as well.

Wow, that testimony from Archie was absolutely disgusting.

$300k?

Do you know how many $$ Manning has given to UTK? Voluntarily? As a donor? It's in the millions.

That said, it was still an ugly very wrong thing that Manning did.
