ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[HairOfTheDog]

It's not just Peyton that's affected here. Those assholes named many in this fabricated report and now every sports journalist/investigative reporter in the world will be digging deep on every single player named to try and make some sort of connection to HGH use so that they can attach Peyton's name to it.

Of course the MLB players and the Packers' players who were named are affected as well.


^ Green Bay Packers -- Clay Matthews, Mike Neal, Julius Peppers

But, I don't personally think that every single sports journalist or investigative reporter will be digging deep into those players' medical records or potential drug usage for a gotchya piece on them and/or Manning. Unlike Al Jazeera, sports journalists make their living within the industry and some rely on connections and relationships.

Some sports journalists will likely investigate though; I don't doubt that. But, if the statements made by Sly and others were completely fabricated and no evidence is uncovered by the sports journalists, it could work in favor of the athletes named. I don't think Al Jazeera is done with this story yet.

Anyway, in the documentary, when Sly is gabbing away with the undercover reporter in the car, he calls Mike Neal his friend. Sly says he'd visit Neal to supply him and then Neal started bringing his teammate buddies to get the stuff too. Matthews and Peppers deny even knowing Sly, but I don't think Neal has. I think Neal has just said the allegations are crap.


As for baseball, ^ Philadephia Phillies’ longtime slugger Ryan Howard and Washington Nationals’ franchise player Ryan Zimmerman are also named in the report. Both Howard and Zimmerman denied any involvement with HGH.

The NFL and MLB organizations each released statements today that they are investigating the allegations.
