Some guy I've never heard of was on ESPN today made a good point, as painful as it may be: That ND goes and hires a private investigator to help Te'o out, but doesn't hire private investigators for the arguably more serious Declan Sullivan and Lizzy Seeburg cases because they were afraid of what would be uncovered. Just some food for thought.

http://www.usmagazin...e-voice-2013171 "The world was shocked when it was revealed on Jan. 17 that Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's inspirational story of overcoming the death of his grandmother and girlfriend on the same day last fall -- leading the Fighting Irish to an undefeated season -- was a hoax, allegedly conceived by someone named Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. But this is not the first sad story Tuiasosopo has reportedly engineered. A source tells Us Weekly that the aspiring singer spun quite a tale for the producers of NBC's The Voice, too -- when he auditioned to be a contestant on the upcoming season."

"All the Manti Te'o jokes are funny, but let's remember, a person who never existed died."

i've NEVER seen them post an actual big story that they didn't source the heck out of.

http://deadspin.com/...eason-is-a-hoax "Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, the stories said, played this season under a terrible burden. A Mormon linebacker who led his Catholic school's football program back to glory, Te'o was whipsawed between personal tragedies along the way. In the span of six hours in September, as Sports Illustrated told it, Te'o learned first of the death of his grandmother, Annette Santiago, and then of the death of his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua." http://www.yespartners.com/news/global-executive-search/notre-dames-manti-teo-learns-leadership-lessons-in-both-victory-and-defeat/ (january 9)"Through it all, Te'o persevered, never missing a game despite his tragic losses. The end of his college football career was disappointing, though he has vowed to learn from it and become a better man and athlete. "For Notre Dame to get back here we had to have a Manti Te'o," Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick told reporters after the game. "You couldn't do it without him in the sense to really restore the program, you had to have somebody that represented the values of the program and the university and played the way we wanted to play. He was the embodiment of that. Decades from now we're going to be thankful to Manti for what he did to turn this thing around.""
