Dont really care. Im just telling the guy the truth. I was all about piling on the Te'o stuff when it first came out, and it was funny as crap. I actually still think Te'o is gay and just doesnt know it yet. But that is beside the point. I think its time to let it die. It obvious that the OP posting this meant to generate discussion based on the comments on the Alabama players, but some on here cant let an old story die. Honestly i dont know why so many on here seem to really have a hate for Te'o. There were MUCH worse things he could have been out doing than having phone conversations with a fake girlfriend that happens to be a man.

Piling on? all he did was cut and paste from the OP's article....As much as the media was hyping him up I say it was a warranted post. YOU think it is time to let it DIE? Who the hell are you? Post police? This guy pays his money just like you do. You are probably right, he did post it to generate discussion. Good for him. We need that. Maybe he wasn't in on the original discussion or had no thought of it at the time and now he is ready to discuss. So you are done with the topic so should everybody else? I see crap on here all the time I think is worhtless chatter, or talked about endlessly. I just move along........

You lost? This isnt the Notre Dame board. Its fine to talk about other teams and other players, but some of you need to give it a break on this Te'o stuff. People forget these are still kids even though theyre about to get payed big, and they still make stupid mistakes. At least he wasnt out Bashing kids faces in and stealing their credit cards to get some cookies from the snack machine. Just give it a rest.

These "kids" you speak of are about to make more money in the next 3 years than most of us will in 25 years. I think any scrutiny about them during combine week is fair.
Te'o is a prima-Donna who lied to the media to further his image and win major awards. And he's an average LB that wouldn't have started for us. I'm sick of him.

and....at his age, I and many more were fighting in a war, so forgive me if I do not see him as a kid...

Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame: 6-2, 255. Compared by one scout to St. Louis MLB James Laurinaitis. "A better version of that," he said. "Not a great athlete. Try-hard. Smart. This was the first year he really got himself in shape. Some of his teammates think he's kind of a phony." The scout made his comment in early December before his bizarre online love relationship was uncovered as a hoax. "He is a tad immature," another scout said last week. "When he comes in the locker room he is going to get abused for about the first month. For a (middle) linebacker you would want him to be more physical and make more plays against the run. He got smoked (against Alabama). He's not explosive but he's got instincts like (Brian) Urlacher."

Funny. I said in the T'eo thread that I wonder what his teammates think of this clown. Based on what this guy says, apparently not very much. Pretty much what I expected quite honestly.

The scout mentioned that he got smoked by Alabama. So it's not a reach to understand why he posted it here.

Thank you for letting us all know what is cool to post about on a public forum and what isn't. I knew somebody was probably the know all authority on controlling other people's opinions but now I know it's been you this entire time. Thank you for thinking for me.
