I believe that the Manning "incident" involves assaulting a total stranger for possible being Jewish (he wasn't) and for being a "geek" using a lap top (he was). This is bigotry and thuggery of the highest order. I am AMAZED at the willingness of the Bears to ignore the seriousness of the offense in order to keep their nickle CB on the field. Chris Henry's offenses are trivial in comparison to Manning's actions. For the writer to even suggest that the Henry punishment should serve as a precedent is beyond irresponsible. I hope that Goodell understands the seriousness of a "hate crime" and suspends Manning for the entire year. (Editor's note: Brian, thanks for shedding some light on an incident the national media has not addressed adequately. For more on Manning's offenses, Google the terms Ricky Manning Jew)

Right on Brian!!! While the "Media" choses to ignore Mannings bigotry and thuggery is disgusting to say the least. The BEARS will choke like the anti semitic scum they are!!!
