10 Things Peyton Manning Wants You To Forget

1. His Sex Scandal Allegations

On a more serious note, without a doubt the most major thing that Manning will want you to forget about are the allegations brought against him during his college years in Tennessee. A personal trainer won a $300,000 from the college over an alleged incident involving her and the star quarterback one night in 1996. She claimed he dropped his trousers and sat on her face, he claimed he didn't know she was in the room and that he was trying to prank a teammate. After Manning discussed the incident years later on ESPN, another settlement had to be reached, this time for an undisclosed amount, and the trainer has stayed out of the spotlight ever since. It just goes to show that even the cleanest cut sports stars are still trailed by controversy, though Manning will always be remembered mainly for his sensational performances on the field.
