Manti Te'o really has a beautiful mind.
Was there a previous beef between ESPN and Deadspin?

wow. at first, i thought he really did get catfished. But after reading the quote Joka posted about his dad saying she would visit him in hawaii from time to time, there's no doubt dude was in on the hoax. His whole family was probably in on this

Nah I think it has more to do with the fact that ESPN built up the hype for Teo to Tebow-esque levels and the 10 day window they had would've coincided with the BCS Title game and they didn't want to have egg on their face.
Gotta read the Deadspin article about this.
Not that familiar with the Catfish show, looked it up on wikipedia and found this as one of the listed episodes.
| "Manti Te'o & Lennay"[sup][18][/sup] | January 16, 2013 | TBA |
| Follow along as Manti finds out his girlfriend, Lennay, turns out to be a friend in Manti's real life. Watch as ESPN, the Associated Press, and other news organizations salivate at Manti's coping with Lennay's cancer caused death, propelling him to the forefront of the Heisman Race. Lennay is no longer, or ever was, actually in Manti's life. |
Don't see how he couldn't be involved in this mess.

The more i think about it, there's no way that Notre Dame didn't know this was a hoax way back in Sept.
A prominent player's GF and grandma die the same day, he's all over the news being interviewed, and NO ONE tries to get in touch with her family?
NO ONE at Notre Dame asks him what's up and why they can't reach her folks or brother?

Family could have asked for privacy/peace after receiving ND's condolences. How hard is a university going to press when a death in the family occurs?

Not defending ESPN's credibility. Just saying you have to give credit where credit's due to the Deadspin guys who actually investigated and broke this.@ 10 days not being enough time for ESPN to put together a comprehensive story.

If he is gay it makes you wonder why he didn't choose USC.
Since LA would probably have a higher population of gay people/more tolerant than South Bend.

LA is also a bigger metro area with more paparazzi and people dying to break a story. If he was gay he would've been outed so quick it wouldn't have been funny.

Fixed.
Anyone hearing anything for possible visits for Derrick Green before he makes his choice in two weeks? UT and Auburn are up there, FSU and Miami have been mentioned. A lot of people saying Michigan has a slight lead.
