I grew up with those early-80s-Gibbs teams, and Manley was definitely one of my favorites. The guy was awesome and fun. He reminded me a lot of Arrington actually.
Manley's knockout hit on Danny White is tied for my favorite Redskins moment of the LAST 25 YEARS (tied with DG's punt return in Chi).
I recently saw an ESPN spotlight on Manley and he seems to be doing well now, but I guess you never really know when it comes to addiction. I wish him the best though.
PS - At the end of the ESPN segment, they quoted Manley as saying that his dream job would be to work with the Redskins. I hope he gets it one day.
