  Former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o told ABC’s Katie Couric that he did lie to the media when he found out that his dead girlfriend never existed, but that he wasn’t involved in the hoax itself. To be honest I don’t know what to believe now.  All I know is that Te’o did lie to  some degree and his character should be questioned after this incident. Even if Te’o...

Notre Dame let Te'o down

If Manti Te'o is everything that Notre Dame says he is, everything that led athletic director Jack Swarbrick to tears in describing him as a trusting soul who will never trust the same way again, then Te'o deserved more.

Do I feel sorry for anyone who's taken advantage of by this "Catfishing"? No! This is a generational problem with the texting and dating, while there's no real people involved. What happened...

NHL’s Dallas Stars poke fun of Manti Te’o

It seems everybody has a Manti Te’o joke to crack these days. The art of Te’oing has also, begrudgingly, become a thing people do as well. The concept is simple, in that a guy poses with his invisible girlfriend and posts the picture of the fictitious couple on the Internet for all to have a good laugh about. It’s one thing for regular Joes to do it, but what about when an...

However, the Fighting Irish are one of those teams that’s slumping and if they don’t get things turned around quickly they’ll could find themselves in the NIT if they’re not careful. Farfetched? Perhaps. But it’s no [...]

What Does the Manti Te’o Story Say about Us?

Let me preface this piece by saying that I am not a Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan. In fact, I pretty much hate Notre Dame (although the movie Rudy was a good one). With this being said, I am not happy about the Manti Te’o saga. I think it is a sad world we live [...]

Manti Te’o Said He “Stuck to the Script” After Finding Out Fake Dead GF Was Alive

Dan Patrick says that Te’o and Katie Couric have the same agent, which in my mind makes this a bit of a sham interview as well, but with that being said Te’o didn’t lie about the one thing he didn’t have a convenient excuse for.
