Thoughts?

Quarterback Eli Manning and New York Giants brass created bogus “game-worn” football gear to pass off as the real deal — and one of the forgeries is sitting in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an explosive new lawsuit claims.

A helmet on display in the hallowed Canton, Ohio, gridiron museum — supposedly worn by Manning in Big Blue’s 2008 Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots — is just one of dozens of fake items the football superstar and his Giants cohorts have created to fool fans and make money from collectors over the years, the lawsuit alleges.

Other “forgeries” passed off on collectors include several Manning jerseys, two 2012 Super Bowl helmets and a 2004 “rookie season” helmet, according to court papers.

Two-time Super Bowl MVP Manning took part in the scheme so he could hang on to his personal items, according to the documents

Read the whole article,given the dubious past of the collector making the charge,and the number of people said to be involved in the "scam",I find it hard to believe. That's a whole lotta folks covering this up for a long time. Sounds like somebody's looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah. SB is in New York and this comes out. Skeptical.

And..it's a Manning. Those guys don't drink water from a water fountain without saying please and thank you.
