WheatieMan Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow... just wow. Didn't make more money professionally or commercially than his brother I suppose. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/14/giants-qb-eli-manning-on-trial-accused-of-conspiring-to-sell-bogus-game-used-helmets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Edited the thread title to explain better what this news story is about. This isn't really new, but I suppose the fact it's actually going to trial is new. Please remember to keep discussion on this topic to how it will affect Manning, the Giants, and/or the NFL in general. If Manning is found guilty, will the NFL or the Giants suspend him? If a settlement is reached or he is found not guilty, will the NFL react anyways? How will the Giants be affected if Eli Manning can't play the first few games of the season? Will this affect the way the NFL verifies game-used memorabilia or result in a rules change regarding how a player can sign deals with third parties? Thank you.

Leader Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The stakes were raised in the lawsuit in April 2017 when Inselberg's attorneys filed court documents that contained emails between Manning and equipment manager Joseph Skiba, who also is a defendant in the lawsuit. In one email, Manning asks Skiba to get "2 helmets that can pass as game used." Seems clear evidence of intent to defraud on Mr. Manning's side.........

Even more so if the public outcry increases, as that is the main thing the NFL is concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'd heard that he and his wife have done a lot of charitable events, but defrauding people to make money off memorabilia? Come on Eli. If he's found guilty I suppose the NFL might give him a game for conduct detrimental to the league, but I doubt that happens. Mara wouldn't allow it, and that matters.

Jeezy Fanatic Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Rikers Island for a minimum 10 year sentence. The Giants get better with out him. Unexpected ending to an unexpected career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I wouldn't mind seeing him do a year or two for this. Seems pretty sh***y for a person worth $100m+ to pull a fast one like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
