The Frankish Reich Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 He should just STFU before they start digging & real dirt comes out on him. And I think that's exactly what he'll do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) In my very uneducated opinion, NFL owners do want players to juice. They also have to pretend to be against it because of getting sued. There is WAY too much money at stake. Absolutely. I think they are viewed as maintenance drugs. I think they've cracked down on aderral because they've seen that it has increased focus and recognition.....making players appear more instinctive......and that really matters on the field......but IS NOT part of keeping players healthy enough to play.

H2o Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's a b******t story from a b******t network trying to gain notoriety. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 nope...using HGH is illegal, arm withering...etc...doesn't have to be malicious, just printed for the per se ruling. Taking HGH, per se, is not a crime. Arm withering is not a disease. There is no actionable reporting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 This is much adou about nothing. He said he didn't do it, is suing Al Jazeera, and is putting up a good show how pissed he is on the intrusion to his wife. It may all be true, and hope it is as he is been a great ambassador for the NFL. Even if not, it wasn't against the CBA in 2011, and if under the care of a doctor not illegal. To think these guys don't try and take every opportunity to play is foolish as long as they don't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I've watched Al Jazeera enough times to know they're a credible news outlet. They were once known as the mouthpiece of radical Islam only because they were able to get interviews with militants that others couldn't get. Al Jezeera itself has no noticeable political stance. They're much like CNN or BBC - though perhaps with a more global outlook than CNN. Nonetheless, the Manning story is not great journalism. Deborah Davies herself says Charlie Sly is their only source. It used to be that credible news outlets only reported something they could corroborate. Good news outlets don't normally like to go to air or print with only one source. Sly did work for the Guyer Institute so his claims that they sent Manning's wife HGH are interesting. But how credible is Charlie Sly? It feels to me like AJ was so excited to have a big NFL story that they compromised their journalistic standards to get this scoop out. They should have done more work to find someone to either corroborate Sly's info or figure out Sly is lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have done more work to find someone to either corroborate Sly's info or figure out Sly is lying. I speak as a former journalist when I say that sometimes you try really hard to do everything right and corroborate your story with a second source and nobody is talking but at the same time they are not talking in such a way that makes you believe there is something there. When that is the case sometimes you have to go with your gut, put your reputation on the line and go and bang on the table until your news editor lets you publish. Sometimes you win sometimes you don't but only once in my journalism career (only 5 years) did my gut on one of those types of stories turn out to have been wrong.
