[CBFF] Mannings Fate

[Steve Behrens]

Ray beat the rap... and the NFL has to abide by the collective bargaining
agreement with the union which has rules about not being able to punish for
something that the courts have said he did not do.

OTOH, Manning plead no contest... much different from a 'not guilty
verdict', but not sure how it stands up to the collective bargaining
agreement.....

I think that's how that works...  I think Manning gets 2 weeks, min.

Hope I'm wrong.
