Hey all!! I am sorry for such long delays in post! Today, we are hear to talk about, who I think is the greatest quaterback ever, Peyton Manning. Super Bowl 50 has just passed with Peyton kind of "riding into the sunset." He has not called it quits yet, but we all know he most likely will retire. Everyone, including myself, were happy that he won his elusive 2nd ring. Now is when we really run into some issues with Peyton.
Earlier in the season, there was a report that there were athletes across all sports, that have taken HGH or PED's. Peyton was included on this list. He denied these accusations. In my opinion, Peyton Manning is the Derek Jeter of football. I believe him when it is was stated that he had not taken any kind of PED's. As this story fizzled, he came back from an injury and helped lead the Broncos to a Super Bowl victory. Peyton did not make it to the victory parade without another scandal coming to light.
Shaun King, of the New York Daily News, came out with a story that in 1996 Peyton was accused of sexual harassment. Don't get me wrong, I despise any one or kind of incidents like this that happen. Here is my true question, why was this hidden for 20 years? Now!! Now!! After a Super Bowl victory, this is brought to fruition! Timing is everything, but why now? Does someone have it in for Peyton Manning? I believe it was known this was about timing and did this after an all time high, plus this doctor came forward in a book about 13 years ago, and nothing happened!
Peyton Manning is an all time great! If something has happened 20 years ago, wouldn't you think it would be settled eventually? Look what happened with Kobe Bryant and his sexual harassment case. It happened during the prime of his career and took away from his on the court accomplishments. People have to realize that while not even Peyton is perfect, give him some slack.
He is set for life as far as finances are concerned. He will make enough money off of Papa John's alone. I feel that these allegations are coming to light to try and get something out of him. Leave him alone! Let Peyton Manning walk into the sunset. If you want to settle this, keep out of the public eyes. People need to learn respect. What he did, if he did it, was absolutely wrong, but people do change! I am sure Peyton has changed!
