When Manning decided to sign with the Broncos, he asked Condon: "What does Tom Brady make?"
"$18 million a year," Condon replied, according to MMQB.com.
"Then I don't want to make a penny more than that," Manning said.
The agent told MMQB.com that Manning was "incensed" at him when he found out the Broncos' offer was for $19.4 million annually, telling his agent, "I told you I didn't want to make more than Brady."
Condon ultimately apologized. He called Manning's wife, who said, "I'll take care of it" and then persuaded Manning to take the deal, according to MMQB.com.
官网翻译没什么问题。搜索Tom Condon Manning Brady,包括印第安纳波利斯星报等很多网站都有这篇文章。但,original source MMQB.com——如果我没搜错,似乎只是个起着Monday Morning QB名字的商业网站?站内搜索也没找到采访原文。ESPN对待这则来源不明的消息也只是用了【Peyton was OK with less than Brady】这种冷处理标题。所以,首先怀疑其真实性。
如果确有其事,发生在大曼身上也不让人意外吧。很要强的人,胜利和橄榄球永远占据他生命中最重要的位置,作为一个不留恋声色犬马的密西西比人也觉得不差钱了,做既体谅球队,又避免横向比较中薪资更高而团队荣誉相对不及产生黑点,野马老板也的确不是很有钱。不过回过头来还是觉得这个新闻漏洞很多。
