What I didn't point out is that after the HGH rule was implemented and Manning's play went to shit towards the end of the 2015 season...El**** forced Manning to take a severe pay cut. He knew Peyton wasn't shit without the drugs...This was just a season removed from setting records. Nothing fishy about that...and a major dis to a living legend. Anyone seeing Brees/Brady taking a dramatic pay-cut as they age? What was Elway's motivation to strip Manning's pay...and why did he accept it? Because they BOTH knew.....the jig was up. He couldn't complete as pass more than 25 yards..it was the most bizarre/immediate decline I've ever seen.
The NFL took it from there...they needed to expand their global presence in SB year 50. Newton took a dive and white-bread Manning went out a champ...as the worst ranked QB to ever win.
Newton just sat there with a towel on his head..it's what you do when you realize you've ass-****ed by your billionaire owners.... and that everything you thought the NFL was about was false. He didn't take his initiation into "big power" well...and his NFL masters let him get beat to shit for it...the following season.
