I haven't paid much attention to their American division, but their original reporting team in Qatar was pretty bad.  They basically couldn't say anything bad about Qatar or any other Persian gulf  country (other than Bahrain which Qatar had somewhat hostile relations with).

 

I am surprised they are reporting on the NFL at all though. 

It doesn't really matter who is reporting it since the info comes from a pharmacist who worked at this clinic.  Whether he is credible is the important part.  Not the news agency who reported it.

The News Agency or source reporting a story is the first thing I look at (not the only thing, just the first thing) when I decide if a story might have some validity.  For example, if a story like this comes from an agency that has a history of being more concerned about speed than accuracy (like most of the big TV news networks) then I tend to look at the article with some skepticism.  Fwiw, I generally trust the local newspapers more than the big national networks.

Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews are also on the list

A documentary that will soon air on Al Jazeera alleges that Peyton Manning and several other pro football and baseball players received HGH from an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic in 2011.

The report's lone source appears to be "Charlie Sly," a pharmacist who spent one year at the clinic and whose claims were made on secret video tape, without him knowing. Sly alleges he mailed HGH to Ashley Manning -- Peyton's wife -- "all the time." Added Sly, "And it would never be under Peyton’s name, it would always be under her name." HGH was not banned in the NFL until 2011, and wasn't even tested for until 2014. Sly later "backtracked" on virtually all of his claims, but not before also accusing Clay Matthews, Dustin Keller, Mike Neal, Julius Peppers, James Harrison, baseball players Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman, and even Mike Tyson of using various forms of performance-enhancing drugs.

Harrison doesn't surprise me one bit.  That guy went from special teamer to DPOTY overnight.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
