Horseface is all class....cheats on his sick wife, cheats the cap, plays on the team with the most documented cheating offenses and had Manning hopped up on HGH.
What's interesting...is Manning's numbers dropped from 323 (first 11 games) to 194 during the final six in 2014. The drop off happened around a month after the NFL started testing for HGH. Testing started in October that year.
Despite throwing for 4,700 yards (3rd) and 39 TDs (2nd) in 2014...Horseface and Manning meet for a private dinner. He wanted Manning to take a $5 million dollar paycut...which he does.
Why would you force a HOF QB with those numbers into a paycut?
I think the dinner conversation went something along these lines...
JE: Hows the neck/nerve damage?
PM: Necks fine but I'm losing feeling in my arm again.
JE: Think you can play next year without the HGH?
PM: I dont know.
JE: Well, will you take a paycut? I need to protect myself in case you cant play now. Probably not worth the risk of being caught.
PM: I thought you had those shipments in my wife's name?
JE: No, I mean next year, if you continue taking it. Your past is covered. We went over this when I signed you. NFL cant access your wife's medical records. You're safe.
PM: Wish the NFL would have held off on the testing for another year. I guess I can try to go next year. I cant risk taking it anymore.
JE: OK. We'll reduce your salary by $5 million. I'll have PR spin it as you are taking a cut to help the team. I'll let the owners know this will probably be your last season...see what they can do. Hey, we got you 4 great years out of nowhere, buddy. *toasts wine glasses*
We all watched a QB go from being top 3 and almost 5000/40 to the worst QB in the NFL in less than 8 months....
