Let's not forget that Manning's LAST payoff to the female trainer for that "boys will be boys" event where he pushed his crotch in her face (clearly sexual harassment) that was witnessed and witness told him he was wrong and should not have done that (first payoff was for $300,000.00, second was in 2003 for an undisclosed amount) was in 2005.   And HE is the one who continues to bring it up. 

Newton is no saint, 7 years is a pretty long time, childishness sometimes lasts forever...

Ask Peyton Manning (“What’s weighing on my mind is how soon I can get a Bud Light in my mouth,” he said. “That’s priority number one.”)... not really world class role modeling...


Football players, they are not heroes... almost NONE of them (Roger Staubach and Rocky Bleier, a few others, maybe excepted), most of them aren't even very good people.  Just good athletes who make a lot of money.

So, we're doing the classic "justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior" routine?

Or, is this an attempt to hang a "gotcha" on somebody for supposedly giving Manning a pass while berating Newton?
In the process, you buttress same with an article whose main theme was clearly not about Newton or Manning, but instead was "see, sports fans, I told you; you're all a bunch of racists!"

Speaking for myself, I ain't looking for heroes; I just want to be entertained. Even heroes usually have some skeletons in their closets somewhere. We're all imperfect human beings.

Hey, it's cool if you're a Cam Newton fan. I don't want to try to persuade you otherwise. Some of us here are just explaining why we don't care for the guy...if that's o.k.

Keep in mind that CN's laptop theft incident was only 7 years ago, while PM's azz exposure incident was something like 20 years ago.

Not to mention the fact the CN character issues per this discussion still have that "new car smell" to them, up to and including this week.


Drive by moonings were pretty much a nightly occurrence where I grew up.  Guys did it, girls did it.  Just the norm. 

Seems to me t-bagging someone is a bit more than harassment. 

All this crap is why I can't stand professional sports.  Very few of these guys should be role models, a lot of them are turds plan and simple

Absolutely not… just saying that Manning is no more "worthy" than Newton… both need work.  
I said, I like them both… with reservations.
