The New York Daily News made some noise on Saturday, having been the first legitimate news outlet to go after Peyton Manning for getting off unscathed for allegedly sexually assaulting a female trainer back during his college days in Tennessee. It’s been a story that has been mentioned in several reports, but the Daily News went in-depth while uncovering facts about the squeaky clean quarterback which painted a less than perfect picture of the recent Super Bowl Champion.

For anyone who hasn’t heard, Manning was involved in a scandal back during his time as the quarterback at the University of Tennessee where he allgedly sexually assaulted the then well-respected Director of Health and Wellness, Jamie Naughwright, who at the time was also the Volunteers’ head trainer.
