I'd like to hear more about the intentional deception. These rules were enacted to prevent gamblers from getting inside information that could influence betting and are taken pretty seriously.

"Broncos doctors knew about the injury, and Manning did what he could to intentionally conceal the injury from as many people as he could, sources said. Manning had been listed on the team's injury reports as having an injured thigh."

.
My understanding is that the team only has to report whether or not a guy is injured and give a vague description of the injury. The injury report simply stated that Manning had a thigh injury, had participated in full practice that week and was probable for the game. How much beyond that they give out is up to them.
