the national football league and much of the sports industry has rallied behind the denver qb. many of fellow athletes expressing support of manning as a friend. take a listen. >> peyton would i consider him a good friend and you hate to see your good friends go through anything like that . he butt meece bee but he's been a great player for this league, nobody has more respect for peyton than do i. >> missing from tom brady's remark, willingness to get into any of the specific allegations dogging manning. hgh was prescribed to manning's wife ashleigh and mailed to her. that's back when manning was still playing for the indianapolis colts. we had a 36-year-old quarterback who could not grip a football properly, his triaccepts had triceps had withered. that came on the heels of earl why neck operations. these questions were raised after al jazeera debuted a program this weekend. the film americas reported conversations with a pharmacist named charlie sly, who alleged certain sports figures sought help in receiving performance enhancing drugs. sly denies working in a clinic in ind

reported that one of the most dominant quarterbacks, most respected quarterbacks in nfl history, denver broncos qbof several high profile athletes who were supplied performance-enhancing, illegal drugs from an anti-aging clinic. here's what peyton manning's saying. >> disgusted, is really how i feel, sickened by it. i'm not sure i understand how someone can make something up about somebody, admit that he's made it up, and yet it somehow gets published in a story. it's defamation, and it really ticks me off. liz: so the story's called "the dark side," and in this bombshell report, it cites a guy named charlie sly -- yes, that's his name -- who allegedly spoke to an undercover reporter working for al-jazeera, but the report has since been dissected and rejected because that guy, charlie sly, is now oddly recanting the story. >> my name is charles sly. it has come to my attention that the broadcaster al-jazeera has somehow obtained recordings or communications of me making statements concerning a number of athletes and that al-jazeera plans to air a program about them. the statements on any recording

the qb talking about moving denver. and about oh officiating. we heard so many questions there, and even a compliment from tb 12 himself. noticed this. a lot of times, tom brady will say, that's a good question. i don't know if he's stalling reporters. but he took it to a whole new level, when i asked him anger at officiating and trying to figure out if maybe the referees have it in for -- >> officiating, you were angry about it sunday night, still mid figure out why you couldn't get past. some speck hitting that you and the patriots may not get the ear of the officials as you had in previous years of recent history. what do you think? >> um. you got a great voice, man. >> thank you. think of the words, though, tom and what about those officials? >> um. yeah. just going to try to do our job let them do the officiating. coach talks to those guys all the time. he tries to fill us in on the conversations he has so we know when we're out there. >> you talk to them too. and you're a voice that they hear. and you were quite angry about it sunday night

. >> sunday in denver derek carr's second half performance made james jones look like a prophet. the qb's two second half td passes kept the raiders' playoff hopes alive. jones a packer once again last year called carr a baby aaron rodgers and now the two qbs meet on sunday. >> i don't compare myself to him at all. he's one of if not the best quarterback in the game. he has obviously one of the best arms we've ever seen in this league. i'm honored james would say something like that. aaron has been far more than i have so far. >>> all right, finally the 49ers' off-season loss personnel wise are well documented. but that offense has clearly plummeted, last in points, last in yards and 30th overall in passing yards. blake gabbert has been okay since taking over but there are multiple problems to fix as week 15 and the bengals approach. >> i would evaluate the offense, has done a nice job with the offense i thought for four games. we're making those strides, the losses to playoff caliber teams. this was a step back. each game is a chapter and you have to offer what you can in the chapter and
