Minor update on the Manning HGH story

[Mr. Scot]

Quote

The Washington Post reports that two men hired by Manning’s lawyers visited the parents of the documentary’s main source, Charlie Sly, before the documentary aired. Those two men were looking for Sly in an attempt to discredit the documentary. Sly’s parents were concerned enough that they called 911 and reported the two men.

Sly has since renounced everything he said in the documentary, which filmed him without his knowledge. Sly now claims he was just trying to make himself sound important when he claimed to have information about Manning and other athletes receiving performance-enhancing drugs.

I can actually see that being true.

Manning CLEARLY looks like hes ben on some HGH.  Hes a specimen. Im fugin serious

If I was Manning I would use every drug known to mankind to help me throw the ball more than 20 yards downfield and then after the game retire...

[tarheels]

this is a non story just like Brady was a non story. Nothing will happen and all players use drugs anyway

If I played a game that required me to get into what amounts to multiple car crashes throughout the week and even more punishment on Sunday, I would be on every kind of gear known to man.  I'd hire an endocrinologist to make sure my T levels were at the barely legal but highly implausible 4:1 ratio of test to epitest.  I'd have a biochemist on staff.  To make better steroids.  Just being honest.  The punishment these guys take is unreal.

It looks like he thought the HGH was hair tonic.

It's weird because performance enhancing drug use doesn't bother me much in football as opposed to Baseball. 

Football is so physically demanding, I understand why someone would take HGH which has incredible health benefits. 

But when Baseball players are all goosed up on roids it just seems so cheap and wrong...

The violence of the sport seems to allow us to give football players a pass. Baseball seems so...casual...that using drugs to enhance your performance seems cheap. A football player using it, seems, I don't know, like a smart way to recover from the car crashes these guys are in every week.

The only problem i have with HGH is that gap between the players that are clean and the ones that are not. either everyone is on HGH or everyone is clean. its not fair to the clean players that AP can come back from an ACL injury in 8 months but it takes me a full year and im still not healthy.

I can see it both ways.  I can also see a guy that was just being truthful...and had no intention of being ratting people out.   Then a secret recording had him out people and he is doing his best to protect them and himself now (like he always intended).

The extreme denial of Peyton doesn't mean much b/c that has become the standard reaction by the guilty as well (Lance Armstrong as an example)

I think one day HGH will be legal (NFL legal)for guys recovering from injury and being used like it was claimed Manning did.

Baseball players play 162 games a year not counting spring training. Do not think for one minute that baseball is not physically demanding.

[Toker Smurf]

Yeah, this is one of the guys they sent.

It is most definitely physically demanding, but it isn't the same. 

The Football season is a violent sprint and baseball's is a long marathon.

It's not that it isn't physically demanding but it is, by no means, a collision sport like football is. Surely you can see the difference...physically...between baseball and football.
