    I dont remember if it was speculation similar to this or if he came out as such but I remember that word being thrown out at some point in this story.

    Will the ESPN special show the TV interview of the nerdy Deadspin guys telling the country they also have evidence of Te’o making the whole thing up in hopes of winning the Heisman, and then going radio silent when called on it?

    For as good a job they did breaking the story, they did just as poor a job handling the attention they got.

    It’s kind of cute that they thought they were on a Woodward-Bernsteinesque type of adventure together.

    Being Mormon they're kinda susceptible to believing hilarious shit that no one could begin to understand. Manti was one of the most sincere and good guys that's ever been thru ND. So it happening to him kinda sucks.

    This feels like one of those stories you should probably just let die and pretend never happened.

    Yet here we are. Really well thought out, Manti.

    I mean the the only way he can save face is if he was gay and felt the need to make all this up due to fear of locker room homophobia. I could see someone doing that even though it’s still wild.

    Either to be that dumb to fall for it or just to make it up for no reason is weird

    Just wait until Manti gets that check only to find it's $7.52 from a network called Netpix that some incel is operating out of his mother's basement with an old Flip Video camera and a dial up modem.

    Dude was young and dumb, he got caught up and tried to lie his way out, I don’t think there is much more to it.

    He’s been involved with this documentary I believe and he’s blown off others, this will be a puff piece imo.

    policing likes from a decade ago is fucking lame. most of us were kids when we started posting on this site. i think we can all agree this board was full of immature edgelords in 2012 (myself included). iIm not sure what there is to gain for calling posters out that have clearly established personal growth.

    Very suspect. I'm sure Andrew Jackson (and other monstrous historical figures) would also like to be non-cancelable. "Thems the breaks" as a famous canceled statesman once said.

    It was a term used on the first page I assume to describe Polynesian individuals. IDK if he has an issue with the guy who wrote it.
