Random Off-Season News

Arch’s full 17 minute interview with ESPN’s Marty Smith.
The 2025 Heisman campaign is under way. I think we should expect to see a lot of Arch-related news in the lead up to the season.

Thanks for posting. 90% of the questions were not what I cared about, and it seemed like Arch was also, “can we move past all the ‘Oh my God! You are Arch Manning, so tell me about the Mannings!’ questions over and over.”
I wanted to hear football questions.
Call me grumpy, but that was an awful interview. What’s his height and weight now, what’s the offseason training regimen, ask about specific plays and games he was in, and the team’s ups and downs in that amazing season, what passes and plays is he most comfortable with, and which are the ones he is still perfecting, connections to the returning receivers —a million things. Not so much about girls wanting selfies and how it “feels” when the crowd cheers for him.

Yeah that guy that interviewed him needs to stick with NASCAR.

At this point in the offseason Sark probably had a hand in keeping most of that information from competitors.

It’s funny, you could be right, but if it really was a deliberate preplanned interview from the Manning side to make a pure puff piece, the topics and questions probably got directed from the Manning/RedBull Madison Avenue/ NIL super agent side of the equation, not Sark.

And Arch said it himself, the NIL/make-money part of his career just launched. He probably is making money click by click on that interview—wearing a redbull hat. As truly humble and genuine as he seems to be now, it is going to be hard for him not to start to play himself as a role, a public persona.

I am making no judgment of Justin or the accusations BUT- the article reads like a hit piece. Look at the authors, then the tone of the article falls in line. They only mention the people who attest to his good behavior deep into the end of the article -After he he has been dragged.
The employees deserve to be treated respectfully but in the 10-12 years since this happened I would bet they have been exposed to other crass behavior. look at the quotes:

Roughly a decade after the alleged incidents, the therapists say they remain haunted by his actions.

“I can’t watch sports anymore. I see his face everywhere,” said J., who said Tucker acted inappropriately when she massaged him at Apothecary Wellness.

“I want something to be done,” L. said. “The only reason that nothing’s being done so far is because it’s Justin Tucker.”

If you wanted something to be done you had 10-12 years to report it to the police or file a lawsuit. I understand these people may feel powerless but the actions do not match the outrage.
Also, if this was a pattern of conduct for him it would be likely there would be more recent allegations.

If he did it- he was wrong, but the article is targeted.
 
I certainly hope L can get past seeing one of his/her customer’s crotch. In his/her profession, I am sure that never happens. Or being brushed up against. I am sure a massage would not involve touching. Maybe he didn’t pay for a happy ending.

Note to self, although unlikely, if I should ever become an athletic super star, never go to a massage parlor.

I hope Tucker does not settle and destroys L in public. What a crock of …t.
 
That should never happen whether it was a pro athlete or a used car salesman.
If the spa barred him why not report to Ravens NFL or police?
What possible explanatiom could there be for waiting so long to report it?
 
Can you say "shakedown", boys & girls?

A neverwas wannabe looking for validation of his future career and/or clicks while using an already rejected hush money scam.

Too many red flags for me to criticize Mr Tucker.

Without a critique of the questions, I will say how refreshing it is to hear an interview with less than a dozen uh’s, you knows, and man’s. It has to have been pretty cool growing up around legendary QBs and daring to play the position. One thing I am confident of, he won’t be overwhelmed by the position or the venue. First ‘big boy’ start at the horseshoe would have many 19 YO open mouthed. My money will be on Arch. His presence alone will lift the game of other players. He seems to have had better karma with Ringo, DeAndre, and Bolden. Plus he has two brand new rocket targets coming in in Ffrench and Lockett. That mind meld is under appreciated by most viewers.

I can think of retaliation fears from Ravens fans since the spas are in Baltimore.

With that coaching staff, lack of OL, less than stellar WRs & RBs, someone will give him a shot to see what he can do with talent around him.

No one should judge any player based on the last 2 years at Purdue. That team with Ryan Walter’s at HC was an utter disaster. I think Card would have flourished if Brohm had stayed. Unfortunately when he left so did all the talent at Purdue- Nic Scourton, and Deion Burks for example. I read they came into this 2024 season with only 14 players who were on scholarship from the 2022 roster. The cupboard was bare.
 
I saw Arch at Stiles Switch off Lamar last night. He was with a big group, so I did not approach. The whole restaurant seemed to stop and stare when he left. :e-face-tears: :hookem:
