Because a great kid, who I have affection for without ever meeting, is having his integrity questioned because he tried to help someone who was hurting. And it's because of people who are being lauded for journalism when they did exactly the opposite so that they could get a few page views. It's the injustice and the hypocricy. That's why I give a shit.

If you have an emotional involvement, I understand. As for the average sports fan, I don't understand the obsession.

You know what I find interesting is not many has admitted this whole charade worked like a charm until the deadspin investigation..........

Look at the publicity he recieved because of this......

It worked until they got caught..........

I may be wrong since I am not a lawyer.........but if someone pulled a scam on someone possibly costing this person millions of dollars and you could prove it then I would think you could file a lawsuit for damages...........

Wonder if Manti will sue his so called scammer in court.......

Bet we will never see that day

According to the South Bend Tribune...

The firm that did the investigation for the university did NO INTERVIEWS and only examined public records.

your crush on an overrated linebacker should have some boundaries.

dont you pride your precious Notre Dame for having those scholar athletes?

and this guy never once asked to see her on webcam or went to visit her on school breaks/holidays? :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

at least this story about your narcissist "star" linebacker is pulling the focus away on how Notre Dame was dismantled by a real quality team and how their playing for the title was a HUGE mistake.

so yeah, at least youve got that going for you. :0074

You can still have sports heroes. Just have to start supporting the right teams.

We can get back to this when deadspin has a breaking story that te'o told a cancer patient that he loved her only 5 minutes after they met.


Oh, so you are upset that Deadspin hasn't covered enough stories on both sides of the ledger for Notre Dame/Te'o. Given Deadspin's/Gawker's past stories on Declan Sullivan and Lizzy Seeberg, I can see why you are upset.

Off the cuff comments on Barry Petchesky?s future as a journalist is pretty much in line with those that believe Te?o doesn?t have a future in the NFL.

I'm not questioning whether or not he will be successful in the discipline of journalism, I'm questioning whether he practices the discipline at all.
