I would agree...but my point is, you have to have testicular fortitude to do thing so crazy that the rewards is just as ludicrious as the risk... that does not seem part of Manning's DNA.
I know what you're saying, and I also don't believe any of this is true. What I find funny is how many of the jock sniffing media (yes, I'm talking to you Chris Mortensen) were falling all over each other to defend him when the story broke. No witch hunt to see here.
