"LOS ANGELES -- NFL defensive back Ricky Manning Jr. was arrested on suspicion of assault Sunday after a fight at a restaurant near the UCLA campus. Ricky Manning Jr. Cornerback Carolina Panthers Profile 2005 SEASON STATISTICS Tot Ast Solo FF Sack Int 33 27 6 0 0 2 Manning, a 25-year-old restricted free agent who signed an offer sheet with the Chicago Bears on Friday after three seasons with Carolina, was arrested at about 3 a.m. after he allegedly hit a man in the face along with four or five companions at a Denny's restaurant in the Westwood section of Los Angeles, said officer Mike Lopez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. According to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Los Angeles Police Department detective Robert Lewis said a group of people -- including Manning -- attacked a man in a Denny's restaurant after teasing him for working on a laptop computer. "The group began by making comments that the victim looked like a geek or a nerd," Lewis said, according to the Sun-Times. The newspaper quoted Lewis saying the victim complained to a Denny's manager. He was then punched in the face, then punched and kicked by multiple attackers until losing consciousness. Manning, a former UCLA star, and his companions left the restaurant in an SUV and were pulled over by police soon after when the vehicle was spotted by a helicopter, Lopez said. Police said Manning was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon despite not being armed because he was aided by companions, and because great bodily force was used. Manning was released after posting $30,000 bail. Manning's deal with the Bears is worth up to $21 million over five years, according to his agent. The Panthers have until April 28 to match the Bears' offer."

and ESPN says that because of this that Carolina probably won't try to re-sign him.

What a moron.

would say old, but maybe the manning thread on the same page was not explicitly about the arrest

4/24/2006 8:44:32 PM

nice thread title

4/24/2006 8:44:41 PM

^^yeah it had one mention about it, but no details

^whats wrong with it...no need to get mad guy

4/24/2006 8:53:13 PM

most people on here might associate manning with peyton or eli, so u got his hopes up

4/24/2006 8:54:46 PM

yeah if peyton had been in a bar fight it would be top story on sportscenter.

This barely scrapes the bottom of the trough cause RMJ is a whiney little bastard who is landing the panthers another 3rd round pick.

He's still riding one game from 3 yrs ago. The guy is washed up.
