Dude who stayed eligible at Okie Lite, then when he got to the Redskins they found out he was illiterate.

Got into college and couldn't even read.



Now he's wearing a suit and tie and on tv.
Murica!

When the reporter asked how he made the A's if he couldn't read. He told her I made straight A's, but I draw my B's a little crooked.

Wasn't he one of the first players banned from the NFL, he had over 100 sacks before he had to go play in Canada.

"I went to a veteran teammate's house," he recalls. "I'm not going to name names, but he was an All-Pro cornerback.

I was so impressed with him. He had big fancy cars and a big fancy house in Reston, Va. I go in his house and he has two ladies walking around there in robes. And then I see another guy come to the door in a big fancy white car and give him a brown bag."

Manley says the teammate made it clear that he was going to do drugs and have sex with both women. An innocent and slightly naïve Manley had never heard of such provocative things, and was intrigued.

"I thought, ‘This guy has got to be the baddest dude ever. How do you get that?'" says Manley. "I was just floored. I was like, ‘Is this what happens in the National Football League? I wanna do that.' I didn't then, but it stayed on my mind."

"The only thing I can remember is I was sitting at a table, chopping up the cocaine," he recalls. "I'm sitting at the table listening to Johnnie Taylor, and next thing I know she comes out the bedroom with high heels and a G-string on. I was like, ‘Wow, drugs are cool.' I had never experienced anything like it. And was on the chase since then."

"When you play football in the state of Texas, you're like God," says Manley.

When I came to D.C. in 1981, I could not get off this beltway because I couldn't read and write," he said, his voice rising and getting emotional. "I didn't know where to go, I didn't know how to get off. Where do I live? I would ride with Darryl Grant sometimes, I would ride with these people and they'd tell me ‘This is where you gotta get off.' How do you get off?"
