Traumatic brain injury?
Yes. My mother dropped me on my head.

Somewhere Lance Armstrong is breathing a sigh of relief. At least for a little while.

Sounds like a topic for Around The Horn or Cold Pizza or whatever ESPN's morning show is called now..
Which Athlete is a bigger scumbag (this week) Armstrong or Manti Te'o?

How about we wait for actual journalism and the whole story to come out before we call a a college kid a scumbag? And it's Armstrong by a landslide. Dude is a huge dirtball.

What does this even mean? This is as comprehensively reported a piece of sports journalism as you'll find. It's not like Charles Robinson or Bruce Feldman or whoever is going to do some digging and find out that the girl actually was real after all.
This is like having a cat with leukemia.

You might be a little bias on this one, you still honestly believe the refs are the reason Alabama won.

And that's the problem. It took a hackney website like Deadpsin to uncover this. They don't have anything from ND or Te'o so the story is only really half told. It's told well, but it's only half told. In journalism, there needs to be a balance.
Notre Dame and Te'o were undera HUGE microscope and nothing about this came out at all. Something is going on here that is very weird and confusing. No one questioned it at all. It's damning of journalism.
All I am saying is let's wait and see when the whole story is told and then make opinions.

Did you read the whole article?? This is as damning as you're going to find, Deadspin went above and beyond (by today's standards) and actually did some investigative journalism, basically proving the entire thing a hoax and that unless Manti has the IQ of a tire-iron, he was in on it in some way.

This is just simply not true. Please show me where I said that the reason Alabama won was because of the refs. I dare you. Alabama was the better team. Notre Dame had a chance to stay in the game and the refs took that away and we'll never know how it would have turned out otherwise.

Yes I did read the whole article and it only tells half a story and has a lot of conjecture. They have no quotes from any of the involved parties (Te'o ND etc).

There was only one outcome, Alabama by humiliation.

Seriously, can't argue the bold at all. Considering how much hatred there is for sports journalism around here, it's pretty impressive and tough to dismiss the amount of work put into this piece. It's pretty clear they wanted to really be sure about this one and have all their bases covered before they went forward with reporting this, for obvious reason. Not to mention, this isn't a bunch of random speculation from unnamed sources, they are citing specific names and facts here. This whole thing is really kind of crazy.
TL;DR amirite?
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

Te'o's statement.
The internet is a dangerous place.
I guess that settles it then
