It's All "Geek" To Me

I couldn’t let this story go by;


News Flash: Ricky Manning Jr. was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Manning reportedly was part of a group that beat up a man at a Los Angeles Denny’s. The former Panthers defensive back had just signed a lucrative free agent contract with the Bears last Friday.


Teddy’s Take: Who says blogging isn’t dangerous business!


The assault allegedly occurred because the victim was working on his laptop in the restaurant and Manning and his acquaintances began calling him a geek. When the man asked a Denny’s manager to intervene, Manning punched him in the face and friends joined in for a good old fashioned beat down, knocking the geek...I mean man...unconscious.


A couple of thoughts here; First…you’ve just signed a $21-million contract and you’re still reduced to beating up Denny’s customers at 3am? Time to re-evaluate your life! Second…how dare you call a guy working on a laptop a geek?


And here I thought all these people laughing at me were calling me a “Greek!�

Proof that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a lousy defensive back. Maybe the geek was wearing a Patriots jersey and Manning thought he finally found one he could beat.
