Manning Breaks Brady"s NFL TD Pass Record with 51

Peyton Manning has tied Tom Brady’s NFL record for most touchdown passes in a season with 50.

Denver’s Manning did it on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker with 6:57 left in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Houston Texans.

He entered the game with 47 and his first touchdown came on a 36-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter, and the second one was a 10-yard throw to Decker earlier in the fourth.

Brady set the record, which previously belonged to Manning, in 2007. Manning had established the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004.

The four-time MVP is in his second season in Denver after missing all of 2011 following neck injuries and surgeries. The first overall pick in the 1998 draft, Manning spent his first 14 seasons in Indianapolis, with whom he won a Super Bowl in 2006.

Brady v. Manning Gets Highest Nov. Primetime Ratings for NFL Game in 17 Years

Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning on Sunday night delivered another classic game–and monster ratings.

Brady’s Patriots beat Manning’s Broncos in windy Foxborough on Sunday night on Sunday Night Football 34-31 in overtime after trailing 24-0 at halftime. The game ended when New England’s Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 31-yard field goal with 1:56 left in overtime. The Patriots got the ball back when Denver’s Tony Carter didn’t hear Wes Welker calling players off and let a punt hit him two plays before. The ball then became live, and the Patriots recovered.

The game was thrilling, and fans, who normally tune in to live sports like the NFL, were captivated and stayed with the game until the end. This was the 14th time Brady and Manning have met, and Brady has a 10-4 record against Manning.

According to Deadline:

Tom Brady’s heroics last night delivered big ratings for what already had been billed as a marquee “Manning-Brady XIV” matchup. The fourteenth faceoff between the NFL superstars, which featured an epic comeback for the Brady-led Patriots over Peyton Manning’s Broncos from 0-24 after the first half to a thrilling win in overtime, drew a 17.0 overnight household rating from 8:30 PM-12:30 AM. That was the highest primetime overnight for a November game in 17 years, the second highest rated SNF game this season behind the 17.3 for Manning’s return to Indianapolis on Oct. 20, and the fifth highest rated overall in SNF’s eight-year history.

Manning ready to pay for hormone therapy - attorney

Published time: August 27, 2013 09:40

Chelsea Manning, the whistleblower formerly known as Bradley Manning who announced she wanted to live as a woman after being sentenced to 35 years in jail, is ready to pay for her hormone therapy, her lawyer said.

David Coombs, Manning’s lawyer, announced his defendant would want to have hormone treatment as soon as possible. In an interview with AP, Coombs said he perceived from online comments about the situation that people were mostly objecting to Manning being given this kind of therapy on the taxpayers’ dime.

The attorney said he and Manning had some hope that the Army or the military prison would finance hormone treatment, since it had been an Army psychiatrist who diagnosed Manning with gender-identity disorder.

“It’s just to be comfortable in her own skin,” Coombs said, referring to Manning as female, according to the whistleblower’s wish.

The day after Bradley Manning was sentenced for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents, he announced he wanted to live as a woman, and to live under the name of Chelsea Elizabeth.

The attorney explained Manning did not want sex-reassignment surgery, but thought the hormone therapy – high doses of estrogen to promote female characteristics, such as breast development – could help to cope with gender disphoria.

The chances the Army will pay for the treatment are meager, according to officials’ earlier comments. “The Army does not provide hormone therapy or sex-reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder,” Kimberly Lewis, the spokeswoman for Fort Leavenworth prison where Manning is to serve his sentence, told Courthouse News Service on August 20.

Coombs does not rule out the possibility of Manning having to sue in military or civilian court for his right to get hormone treatment. The attorney said he hoped the military prison “will simply do the right thing.”

The Fort Leavenworth prison is all-male and its officials are at this point unlikely to refer to Manning by the name and pronoun she wishes to be addressed by.

Coombs, however, said he and his client would still look into the legal options for the name change and would try to make the military recognize it.

The lawyer said Manning realizes that the process of accepting her new gender and name will take some time.

“There’s a realization that most people know her as Bradley,” Coombs said. “Chelsea is a realist and understands.”

The whistleblower’s supporters are, however, already taking action to make it happen sooner.

“In response to PVT Manning’s announcement, the Bradley Manning Support Network is changing its name to the Private Manning Support Network, and will work on changing other frequently used parts of its website and materials to incorporate the name Chelsea and the female pronoun,” David Coombs’s blog reads.

NY Times: Bradley Manning Now Called Chelsea, and He"s a She

Starting Tuesday, convicted Army Private Bradley Manning will be a “she” in the columns of The New York Times, honoring the dishonorably discharged soldier’s request to be addressed as a woman.

Manning was convicted last month of violating the U.S. Espionage Act, among other offenses, after dumping hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrets website WikiLeaks, which published many of them. Other media also published the secrets leaked by Manning.

The Associated Press also will start using “she” and call her Chelsea when referring to Manning, who declared last Thursday he would live as a woman, Politico reported Monday.

“Our deputy editor in charge of copy desks has sent out a message to let folks here know we will make the change tomorrow,” Greg Brock, the Times’ senior editor for standards, told Politico.

A New York Times representative confirmed the change.

The AP alerted its member editors in an email Monday night, Politico reported.

“The Associated Press will henceforth use Pvt. Chelsea E. Manning and female pronouns for the soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning, in accordance with her wishes to live as a woman,” the email stated.

Manning dropped his transgender bombshell on Aug. 22, a day after being sentenced to 35 years in Fort Leavenworth military prison and a dishonorable discharge from the Army.

“I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female,” declared the 25-year-old Manning, asking supporters to use “my new name and use the feminine pronoun” in gender references.

Manning said in the statement:

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me,” she wrote.

“… Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.”

The AP explained:

“The use of the first name Chelsea and feminine pronouns in Manning’s case is in conformity with the transgender guidance in the AP Stylebook.

“The guidance calls for using the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.”

WASHINGTON (AP) â€” By asking to be known as a woman named Chelsea, Bradley Manning has created a host of possible challenges for the military as the soldier began serving a 35-year prison sentence for giving secrets to WikiLeaks.

Manning’s gender-identity struggle â€” a sense of being a woman in a man’s body â€” was brought up by the defense at the court-martial, and a photo of the soldier in a blond wig and lipstick was submitted as evidence.

But the latest twist, announced Thursday, surprised many and confronted the Pentagon with questions about where and how the Army private is to be imprisoned.

The former Army intelligence analyst disclosed the decision in a statement provided to NBC’s “Today” show.

The statement asked people to use the feminine pronoun when referring to Manning. It was signed “Chelsea E. Manning” and included a handwritten signature.

The soldier’s attorney, David Coombs, told “Today” he hopes officials at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., accommodate Manning’s request for hormone treatment, which typically involves high doses of estrogen to promote breast development and other female characteristics.

However, George Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, said the Army does not provide such treatment or sex-reassignment surgery. He said soldiers behind bars are given access to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.

A lawsuit could be in the offing. Coombs said he will do “everything in my power” to make sure Manning gets his way. And the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign and other advocates for gays, bisexuals and transgender people said Manning deserves the treatment.

“In the United States, it is illegal to deny health care to prisoners. That is fairly settled law,” said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. “Now the Army can claim this isn’t health care, but they have the weight of the medical profession and science against them.”

With Manning in custody and unavailable to comment, the AP is seeking additional information about the statement from Coombs, who did not immediately respond to email and telephone messages. For the time being, AP stories will use gender neutral references to Manning and provide the pertinent background on the transgender issue.

A Federal Bureau of Prisons policy implemented last year requires federal prisons to develop treatment plans, including hormone treatment if necessary, for inmates diagnosed with gender-identity disorder. But the bureau oversees only civilian prisons.

Manning’s case appeared to be the first time the therapy had come up for a military prisoner.

Manning, 25, was convicted of Espionage Act violations and other crimes for turning more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents over to the secrets-spilling website WikiLeaks. Coombs said the soldier could be paroled from prison in as little as seven years.

After sentencing, Manning was returned Thursday to Fort Leavenworth.

Fort Leavenworth is an all-male prison. But the staff has some leeway to separate soldiers from the other inmates based on the risk to themselves and others, prison spokesman George Marcec said.

Manning would not be allowed to wear a wig or bra, and would have to meet the military standard for hair, Marcec said. In addition, Marcec said if Manning wants to go by Chelsea in the prison, a name change would have to be approved in court and then a petition submitted with the Army to change its records.

Advocates said gays and transgender people are more susceptible to sexual assault and other violence in prison.

“She most likely will need to be placed with a female prison population because she identifies as female,” said Jeffrey Parsons, a psychology professor at Hunter College in New York.

Under a special agreement, the Army sends its female prisoners to a Navy women’s jail in Miramar, Calif. It also has an agreement under which it can send soldiers to federal civilian prisons.

Greg Rinckey, a former Army prosecutor and now a lawyer in Albany, N.Y., said Manning’s statement could be a ploy to get transferred to a civilian prison.

“He might be angling to go there because he believes life at a federal prison could be easier than life at the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth,” Rinckey said.

He also said the military is adamant about not providing hormone treatment: “You enlisted as a male, you’re a male, you’re going to be incarcerated as a male.”
