Everyone wanted to make a big deal saying he did it on purpose, and he wanted to say some comments today about what went on last year.

He said some things, and our guys responded accordingly.I guess we can put the whole `if he did it on purpose thing to rest because what he said out there kind of confirmed that.Manning said his hit on McDavid last season was not an intent to hurt the budding superstar.I would never intentionally hurt someone, Manning said.
