There are a lot of things to be learned from SB Nation game threads. Take our enormous Super Bowl game thread, for example, which is live right now.
The Only Controversial Thing Peyton Manning Has Ever Done
↵I made a quick post asking whether Peyton Manning has ever, ever done anything controversial in his life. And, of course, I got my answer -- from none other than Arrowhead Pride’s Chris Thorman. This is kind of bewildering, actually.

↵Manning claimed in his book that, while in the training room, in response to a track athlete who made a remark, Manning dropped his shorts to moon the athlete. "I did it thinking the trainer wasn't where she would see. ... Even when she did, it seemed like something she'd have laughed at, considering the environment, or shrugged off as harmless. Crude maybe, but harmless."
↵Naughright and her lawyer provided a different version of events. In a court filing, her lawyer wrote that she was examining Manning to see why Manning was having pain in one of his feet and was crouched behind him when "entirely unprovoked, Peyton Manning decided to pull down his shorts and sit on Dr. Naughright's head and face."

↵I had completely forgotten about this story. If Manning is to be believed, it’s a fairly innocent incident gone mildly awry. If not, though, dude sat on a lady’s face! This Super Bowl just got so much more interesting.
