Tarnishing the Golden Boy

Anybody who needs a rooting interest in tomorrow's big game might consider that uber-telegenic corporate shill and Colts QB Peyton Manning has a bit of a checkered past with dealing with women. While he was at the University of Tennessee, a female trainer for the football team successfully sued the university, as Peyton had sexually harrassed her. Later, Manning tried to explain his actions by saying the woman in question had a "vulgar mouth." Once again, this propagated a lawsuit that Manning quickly threw money at to disappear. Apparently, This female trainer is more of a bugaboo to Peyton than the Florida Gators ever were! Of course, his agents and ESPN worked it out so this "scandal" would be swept under the rug, because all would benefit from having a marketable "golden boy" like Peyton.

I realize it's an uphill battle, but I'm cheering for Chicago tomorrow. Hey, if Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl, so can Rex Grossman!
