Tennessee wants Manning reference removed from lawsuit

She claimed she “feared for her job, anxious and feared for her life“, the document said. According to the notes, Naughright told the crisis line “I$3 sense there will be a cover-up” and that the “head coach [Phillip Fulmer is] letting them get away with everything”.

Manning was never the subject of a criminal investigation in the incident. For Naughright, two different legal claims were fueled by the allegation; for Manning, nothing positive ever would have come from admitting he did what she claims he did.

As for Jackson, the Broncos are already negotiating with his agent, per Klis, who also mentioned names like Danny Trevathan, Jordan Norwood, and Ryan Harris – to name a few other members of the Broncos’ free-agent class.

Murmurs of this incident have intermittently followed Manning throughout the years, always at a very low volume and never with enough force to thwart his rise to mainstream mega-celebrity. Naughright agreed to leave the university as part of a $300,000 settlement. In the 2002 defamation lawsuit, Naughright said Manning pressed his “naked butt and rectum” on her face, though she did not say Manning made contact with her when she filed a complaint against Tennessee in 1996. “I don’t think this is best handled by press or police”. Manning later described the incident as a “mooning” directed at fellow UT athlete Malcolm Saxon in his 2001 co-biography with his father Archie, Manning: A Father, His Sons, And A Football Legacy, which Rollo later said in his deposition that he can be credited with suggesting that term. “In his deposition, he said he regretted it”.

In 1996, they point out, Naughright signed a document that read, “he pulled his trousers down and exposed himself to me, as I was bent over examining his foot, after asking me personal questions”.

Rollo: “I never had that impression”. “That she was distraught, she was upset, and it seemed unusual”.

After winning his second Super Bowl ring with the Denver Broncos, veteran quarterback Peyton Manning told everyone he will savor the moment and would take some time before making any decisions, but now the clock is ticking as reports have been buzzing that he is ready to fly to Hollywood and play for the Los Angeles Rams next season. Saxon, in the affidavit in the defamation case, disputed that he was quoted accurately.
