A previously unheard-from former Vols player says he saw what went on that day in 1996; plus more on the controversy that has clouded Manning’s image as he contemplates retirement
The MMQB staff writer Robert Klemko discusses the latest developments in the Peyton Manning, Jamie Naughright story.
LAKELAND, Fla. — In the case of Peyton Manning and Dr. Jamie Naughright and what happened in a University of Tennessee training room in late February 1996, just one person other than the quarterback and the trainer has attested to having witnessed the incident. That person, Malcolm Saxon, wrote a letter in 2002, later reproduced in the course of a lawsuit Naughright filed against Manning, which seemed to support Naughright’s assertion that the incident involved something other than “mooning”—the characterization Manning has consistently used to describe the act.
