Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Never Existed

Tedy greenstein on espn saying he voted for Te'o to win the Heisman because he loved the narrative and would abosultley change his vote now

That's so backwards lol. Openenly admitting if you have a good story you have a better chance.

Voting for a guy because of a sob story. Thanks, ESPN.

He tried to rationalize it saying that both Johnny football and Te'o's impact on their teams were the same, so he went with the good story.

I don't watch college football so I have no idea if they were close.

The Notre Dame A.D.

Somethin just isn't right with the dude and you can tell re-watching the interviews.

The saddest part in this whole story isn't the story itself it's that this allows us to further examine the media's infatuation with Notre Dame football and certain storylines. This story damn near helped win this guy the Heisman trophy as a defensive player. It also made Tom Rinaldi touch himself nightly on nights Tiger Woods didn't answer his knocks on his door.

no belicheck would not draft him if it was proven that he was in on it......hell kraft wouldn't cosign that ****....keyword IF he was in on it.....patriots don't play that ****...you know what kinda media circus that would be

Imagine if KG got a hold of dude.... LMAO!!

 

It would be curtains for Manti on sight.

Manti thought he was playing the system, and he did to a certain extent but ended up playing himself.  As the saying goes, "it's only so long fake thug linebackers can pretend."

The AD with the tears

Yeah that was funny as well, even the AD fell for the banana in the tailpipe.  You would think he was defending his own son during that press conference.

Since when do the Pats care about character issues?  Moss, Haynesworth, Ochocinco...  I think they're usually confident they can work around the problem.

and how long did they stay? moss could've stayed but the second he talked about wanting a contract his *** was gone...they will not waste a 1st round pick on teo if he was available IF he was in on this ****

ESPN is full of drama, it''s turned into hair salon gossip. If Manti had something to do with the hoax then he has issues. But regardless he is still a talented football player. And he will be making millions while people waste their time cracking jokes about him on the internet.

This line of "he'll have money and you won't" reasoning is one of the lamest rebuttals ever.

The point is that they gave those guys a shot.  And their experience with Moss made them more likely to do it again because he was a huge success there.  They would definitely take Te'o if he fell all the way down and they felt he was the best value at the position.  It would probably be a good fit for him since you know Belicheck doesn't allow any drama in that locker room.

Man, wtf?

So many twists and turns...

IMO, there's a difference in BELIEVING someone existing and KNOWING someone is existing . For the former, there's a little bit of doubt. For the latter, you know 100% that the person you're talking about is real.

Just look at the quote:

Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, said he believes Kekua existed because he met her in person when he and other Polynesian teammates and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu went to do charity work in American Samoa in June 2011.

"This was before her and Manti," Mauia said Wednesday evening. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing.

[Typical NT conspiracy theorist] If it is true that ESPN was sitting on this information for a week to 10 days, what if they set something up with Lance where essentially he would confess then a few days later they would drop a bomb to make people forgot all about his use of PED's [/Typical NT conspiracy theorist]

 

[lynchpin33]

Just got a message that Steven A. Smith went in on this topic? Is this true?
