peyton manning could potentially sue mr. sly alone and leave al jazeera out of it saying this guy knowingly false recanted. whatever he said before, he now says isn't true. that gives a stronger foot hold. that would be a more laser strategy to go in and try to pick off the person who has already conceded something wrong. al jazeera says they stand by their reporting because it's not only based on mr. sly and they think the 20 plus hours they told msnbc of that fat yij is stronger than this one minute youtube video where he seems to be back tracking. >> what is the feeling in terms of timing for peyton manning? should he have waited a little bit? >> no. you've got to come out and nip this in the bud. the dirty little secret is there has been high hgh use in the national football league. contrary to popular belief when it comes to steroids, it's not so much used to build up strength but also for recovery from injuries. if you want to play the conspiracy theory thing, go this way here. peyton manning was coming off the most se
