I dunno about Lance. He's coming off looking like a crazy man lately if you've been following.

Both these people have one very common thing going on...they are both narcissist egomanics. These guys love the attention and will do anything to keep in spotlight. With Lance it was to take PEDs and threatin people to stay on top, and with Manti it was to use a story to pump his own profile for the Heisman and draft stock.

These guys dont have any guilt, they are just pissed they got caught. Unfortunately, part of the problem is Jeremy Schap, continue to feed the ego.

I think the RG3 thing is past news. It's so time to move on from that subject.

Much of what made him so valuable in NFL scouts eyes were the intangibles-leadership, character, integrity-all that is in serious question right now.

I think the whole thing is fascinating. And if he was in on it, which I think he was, I don't think you just brush it off with "well some people who fell for it donated to cancer research" so it's all good.

Yeah, kind my thoughts on the matter.

I think its a huge deal but i would still draft him. Call me crazy. If he has a good combine than yea i would spend a first rd pick on him.

Often the most simple explanation makes the most sense.

That imo would be the biggest shock of all. To find out this was all an elaborate hoax on his part for apparently no reason. Omg.
Edit: to watch this guy go from being some sort of golden boy, full of faith and drive to possible looney is just so bizzare. If indeed he is lying about it all.

But guess what ... I am pretty sure they'll speak out when they're ready. Until then, none of my damn business.

Would anyone here be bothered by a gay teammate?

Not one iota.

Hoax or no hoax after it is said and done who is the victim?

To me it is not the end of the world for this guy. He will get draft fairly high.

Why does there have to be a victim in order to raise a red flag for a team that will potentially use a high pick on him and give him a multi-million dollar deal?

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.

For all we know, pretty much anyone could have serious issues. Look back through all of sports, and there are massive head cases that played brilliantly. Babe Ruth and Lawrence Taylor jump out at me right off the bat. Are you saying no to either of those in their prime for your favorite sports teams?

Lets just say he is fully 100% guilty of starting and continuing this hoax looking for attention. He chose something that only hurts himself. Its sports, people want wins, not choir boys. Its not something that will keep him out of the NFL. If driving drunk and killing someone doesnt get you kicked out of the NFL, then this will have little effect.

Also, if people can never learn from mistakes, why did we keep Trent and Fred? Something tells me that Teo is not plotting his new internet girlfriend anytime soon.

Kneegate, Mantigate, it's all the same.

He will be this years Burfict, go get him, he's got talent even if he's a bad liar. He will be a bargain pickup.

Ok but you are speaking as a NFL team. I am saying as Joe Public who gives a crap about this.

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