[JoshB]

Saw someone mention on Twitter that Manziel has come out and blamed it on the media. IF true, that boy is going to crash and burn.

Just so people know the media doesn't always paint the correct picture.. They just care about getting a good story and nothing else matters

The media seems to be spinning it as if T'eo was duped.

Someone just slid into first round money... Having a hard time seeing him manage this, but he has a few months.

Serious question, how long the Catholics circle the wagons for a Mormon.

People were fed bullish!t and the media jumped on it and fed it even more.

So what does everyone think, after reading the article? Is he the victim or did he (and his family, apparently) dupe everyone? Just curious what you guys think, since the media (as I mentioned) is only really talking about the statements from ND and T'eo himself.

My roommate's best friend is a Mormon Notre Dame alum .. She is freaking out.

I've read it several times and am of the impression that everybody was fed bullish!t and the media fed it even more. There just seems to be way more to the story than what's been brought out thus far

Just want to post what I said earlier, kinda funny in hindsight...

The sad part, the talking heads spun that front 7 up as the strength only to let everyone down. What was being billed as two powerhouse programs turned out to be Alabama playing a scrimmage while in Miami. When was the last time in a BCS NC game did a team play their 2nd team (I don't remember watching the other teams close enough to recall)?


side note...

What about Manti's parents going after the newspaper back home for a less than desirable "photo" on the front page.

That they were fed bullshit by Manti?

And agreed. He's either a really dumb kid, or the biggest scumbag athlete of the year.

Yeah, that they were fed bullshit by Manti. I agree with you that he's either one of the dumbest kids on earth or a complete douchbag.

^^ love the pic!

Side note: I wonder how much ND knew? They knew since the 26th and didn't say anything til now? not to mention ND has a spotty history with news that does not reflect well on them .. Not to say this is all a big conspiracy but I'm just curious what they were aware of.

Supposedly ND hired investigators.
