Let that be a lesson in public funding of stadiums

Eli Manning currently dealing with some legal issues after it was revealed he has been active in selling fake game-worn merchandise to memorabilia buyers.

Giants also dealing with similar legal issues after an equipment manager was outed as helping Manning with the scam.

The legal filing also alleges that Big Blue failed to produce the smoking-gun request — sent from Manning’s old-school AOL account to an official NFL account — even though “they claim to have no document destruction policy.”

But Manning turned over the incriminating email last week in connection with a civil racketeering suit that accuses him, his team and others of conspiring to fleece collectors of authentic athletic uniforms worn on the playing field.

Manning’s email is contained in a pair of exchanges that allegedly began when his marketing agent, Alan Zucker, asked Manning to supply “2 game used helmets and 2 game used jerseys” as per the two-time Super Bowl MVP’s contract with memorabilia dealer Steiner Sports.

Several hours after Zucker sent the request on April 27, 2010, Giants equipment manager Joe Skiba sent Manning an email saying: “Let me know what your looking for I’ll try to get something down for you…,” court papers say.

“2 helmets that can pass as game used. That is it. Eli,” Manning allegedly responded from his BlackBerry at 2:08 p.m.

At 2:25 p.m., Manning wrote back to Zucker, saying: “Should be able to get them for tomorrow.”

“Thanks Eli,” Zucker responded.

What a dick.

Droford 04-13-2017 08:46 PM

So does Eli get suspended? He almost has to or Pats fans are going to be impossible

Emperor Smeat 04-14-2017 07:48 PM

Apparently this issue became a big deal at least in regards to the memorabilia side mainly because Eli and the Giants are near the tops when it comes to supplying game-used stuff for purchases.

Cowboys have more interest and popularity overall but Giants stuff sells the most in regards to demand for NFL merch.

Giants got dragged into the lawsuit because they forgot to delete one email between Eli and the equipment manager out of all the emails deleted on this topic. Had they also deleted that email, there would have been no known concrete or strong evidence of what Eli was doing for the scam.

Feel bad for Todd Heap.

Quote:

Police in Mesa, Arizona, confirmed Friday that former Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals tight end Todd Heap accidentally hit and killed his three-year-old daughter with his truck, according to ABC 15's Clayton Klapper and Joe Bartels.

The accident reportedly occurred on Heap's driveway. Per Fox 10 in Phoenix, the victim "was taken to a local hospital, where she later died."

Police also said "there were no suspicious circumstances to the incident, and that impairment does not appear to be a factor."

Former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez found hanged in his prison cell


Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez, acquitted Friday in a 2012 double slaying, killed himself overnight prison officials confirm.

Hernandez was already serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.

The surprising news came through Wednesday morning.
Looks like he's flounced himself off to hell.

=P

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-19-2017 01:06 PM

Yep. Was only a matter of time for that. No idea why he waited so long.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-24-2017 05:57 PM

Just watched. They had a time out. Run off should have been negated and one final play.

#1-norm-fan 09-24-2017 06:28 PM

... No they didn't.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-24-2017 07:43 PM

Ah nvm. Looked at the thing wrong. The new set up of time outs and posessions made it look like they had one.

Nope. It wasn't a catch. Tough shit. Should have kicked the FG.

#1-norm-fan 12-20-2017 01:15 AM

Seriously, it's the dumbest fucking rule in football. If you control the ball and make a football move, it's a catch. If you have the catch, by those rules, and then reach for the goalline, it's a touchdown as soon as it crosses the plane.

... If the guy falls to the ground and the ball hits the ground and moves slightly after all of that has already happened, you basically retroactively did NOT catch the ball.

#1-norm-fan 12-20-2017 01:18 AM

Crazy idea: A guy catching a football should be ruled a catch.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-20-2017 01:52 AM

He didn't make a football move. He stumbled into the endzone while catching and it hit the ground and turned. No football move, no control, no catch. No new rule to correct it.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-20-2017 01:56 AM

Just stick to making fun of Droford and the Ravens.

#1-norm-fan 12-20-2017 02:17 AM

He did make a football move. He turned his body, went to a knee and lunged for the touchdown.

Like I said, if it happened to the Patriots, you'd be bitching because that's what you do. You defended Gronkowski assaulting a defenseless guy after a play, FFS. You're a Droford-level delusional homer. You don't get to have an opinion on this.

Blind homerism. Gotta love it.

Who was the homer in New York watching every angle?

Chuck Pagano is expected to coach his final game with the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The team will begin its search for a new head coach upon the conclusion of the 2017 season, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, citing sources.

Team owner Jim Irsay has already made calls to prepare, Rapoport adds.

Chris Ballard's first season as the Colts' general manager has resulted in a 3-12 campaign. It's expected he will instead opt to hand pick the next coach.

No one's arguing that it wasn't the right call. You're hearing things that don't mesh with your blind homer-ism and it's making your brain smoke and malfunction. Have a drink and try to comprehend the discussion.

#1-norm-fan 12-31-2017 03:48 AM

Also, who was the blind homer in New York handing down the punishment for Brady?

Thought so. Guilty.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-31-2017 05:10 PM

They refused all the science of that case. Different.

#1-norm-fan 12-31-2017 05:11 PM

No bias possible when it's in the Pats favor.

Definitely bias when it's against the Pats.

Blind... homer...

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-31-2017 08:03 PM

So, you deny that they ignored the Ideal Gas Law and the crazy weather that happened during the game?

#1-norm-fan 12-31-2017 09:08 PM

Proving my point more and more.

SUCH a blind homer. Keep going.

#1-norm-fan 12-31-2017 09:09 PM

Let's not forget the whole situation where you defended Rob Gronkowski intentionally concussing a man. Doesn't get much more blind homer-tastic than that. Your blind homerism shows as much as Droford's.

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-01-2018 05:04 AM

He's been sent to the hospital because defenders know they won't get calls for holding and roughing him up.

When that guy maybe lines up in the playoffs maybe he follows the rules a little more closely.

#1-norm-fan 01-01-2018 05:25 AM

... Seriously? lol

#1-norm-fan 01-01-2018 05:28 AM

If Gronk is guilty of pass interference and it doesn't get called and the defender reacts by driving his elbow into Gronk's neck and head while he's on the ground defenseless and leaves him concussed, or worse, you'll totally defend that guy's actions, right?

Blind homer to an insane level. And THAT'S why your opinion on stuff like the Steelers non-catch doesn't matter.

Ruien 01-01-2018 11:05 AM

STD is one of those fans who would get happy if the quarterback on the other team became paralyzed due to an illegal hit from his team.

Destor 01-01-2018 11:39 AM

Serious idol worship from std
