Lance Armstrong lied/cheated a hell of lot worse then than this guy with multiply victims.

Did Lance Armstrong harm anyone? He lied about doping in an already dirty sport.

That's the angle I've been coming at this from the start... how this is going to potentially impact his draft status is what interests me the most.

Beyond that though I'm amazed you can't see why people are interested in the story. The web of lies, the question of how involved he was, were there others that were in on it as well, his motive behind it all if he was involved... there's still a lot of questions to be answered. I also still don't quite understand why you think a so called victimless situation should be considered harmless or uninteresting.

Sounds like a typical day in Congress. People should be used to it by now.

I doubt teams will gamble on a first round pick/money on this kid given this crazy situation. I am sure some teams probably don't want all the press/attention that this kid will get come draft time.

I guess we see it differently but it is interesting that I agree with you.

Is this a kid you want to put into your locker room and tap as a future leader that can be trusted?

We don't know how deep this goes yet or how he'll handle it when he's grilled on it.

For all we know the guy could have some serious issues.

I trust him with football related stuff. What he does off the field would not concern me as long as he doesn't break the law. We're not talkng about Aqib Talib here or Pacman Jones. I'd take Te'o over either of those two. Some of the best players we've had were half crazy.

I would draft him too. I just probably would try not to bond with him in anyway and might think everything he said was bullshit. However - if u show up on time and play well u can still be on my football team.

lol ESPN now has footage of Manti on a golf cart and has Jeremy Schap down in Florida where manti is to report step by step of mantis every movement. This is not a crime, but damn when the news is slow and something is so bizarre the media goes crazy.

How did the real her stack up to the pictures. Rate them both (in your eyes) on a scale of 1 to 10.

Really man? Really? Guy shares something personal and embarrassing and you asking this? I'm sure he's over it, but still. C'mon man.

This would be news at anytime.

I swear the media is overblowing this, just like they did when his grandmother died and his fake GF. The guy lied, he looks like a fool but to me it's over and done with. This should not have any impact on where he's drafted. He might be a little bit of a self promoter but he'll get humbled the first day he get into an NFL camp.

Do journalist fact check anymore? Sports media gotta lotta egg on their face too. Lance and Te'o stories bring alot of questions, I guess f*ck it, if its a good story just go with it...
