You do know the difference between off-season and a regular game right ?

I do, but that doesn't change the hyperbolic absolutism so many embraced surrounding deflategate. HGH is against league rules, so using the same logic, it shouldn't matter when Manning used it. I've stated my personal feelings already, but the hypocrisy here just reeks.

You are correct. Rules are rules..If he used them he should get a bonus like Brady.

Lets be fair here, we don't have proof that Manning was using anything. We do know that the Patriots are cheaters.

I'll just leave this here...

Alex Guerrero, according to a January story in the New York Times, is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's "best friend and ever-present guru for training and many other things." He has been referred to in various articles as Brady's "body coach" and, according to the Times, can more accurately be considered a "spiritual guide, counselor, pal, nutrition adviser, trainer, massage therapist and family member."

According to a report from Boston Magazine, Guerrero used to go by the name Dr. Alejandro Geurrero and was investigated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), twice.

On the first occasion, in 2004, Guerrero was part of an infomercial for a product called Supreme Greens, which claimed, among other things, to be able to cure "ailments such as cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease." A study was conducted on 200 patients, the infomercial said, and all but eight survived. The FTC debunked that claim and others made by Guerrero in the infomercial -- including the fact that he was a doctor -- as a sham.

It's a great day when the Seahags lose at home to an already eliminated team.

...And Michael Bennett has the nerve to call Todd Gurley average. If I lost to "an average" back that ran for 80+ yards (the most at home?) and the game winning TD, I'd be a lot more humble even if my team was going to the playoffs and the other isn't. LOL
 
Atlanta out and Steelers handing on by thread. Tonight should be interesting with injuries and off field rumors.

I thought Manning story wouldn't get past AJ and Huffington, but now it's everywhere. Damage is done, even without evidence. First Brady, even though court found no wrongdoing, and now Manning which sounds like suspicious allegations against him without merit.

The end result may not be official punishment for either, because there's no real dirt on either to be honest, but in future conversations Brady and Manning will have that, "yeah, but" added on from conversations about Montana and Marino and all the records. They will forever be lumped in with the Soviet Olympic Gold medalists, Barry Bonds, and numerous other cheaters in sports.

NFC set, AFC south in the air between Houston and Indy with best record possible in that division being Houston at only 9-7. Steelers in if they win, and Jets lose.

I'll tell you exactly where there's going to be trouble for Manning:

- some parts of the AJ story are turning up true. It's been discovered that Sly was indeed an intern at this Guyer Institute in 2011, so his recanting of the story seems less credible.
- Sly would be motivated to recant because his discussion about other clients caught on tape would be a violation of HIPAA laws.
- Guyer has prescribed HGH in the past and advocated its use.
- circumstantial evidence:Manning's wife just happened to be receiving HGH in the year that he had the neck surgeries. He came back to football the following year and broke 3 NFL records in 2013. When the league began testing for HGH in 2014, his production dropped and injuries started plaguing him again.

A) ESPN will ignore all of the above. But media outlets which are not water-carriers for the league won't.
B) None of the above convinces me he's guilty, and as I've stated, I wouldn't think less of him if he was.

So the Eagles fired their coach and GM in the same day, they're not messing around.... Chip will get another head coaching either in the NFL or college in mere days, but how awesome would it be if he got hired as the Bills OC lol

You're a Jets fan, right?

I just went to nfl.com and they have taken down all the demarkations for who is in/or out of the playoffs. Are the Jets in? Or do they need the Steelers to lose?
