Dan Bernstein: Manti Te’o Is A Liar

[marmar]

(CBS) Already, the saps are at it again.

The same people who were kicking themselves just hours ago and apologizing publicly to readers, viewers and listeners for being suckered by an impossible fairy tale have apparently failed to learn any substantive lesson from their embarrassment.

Manti Te’o admits to lying about the soul-mate he never had, using a tightly managed interview with a lone reporter, off camera, late on a Friday night, with his lawyer/PR consultant at his side. He described how he “tailored” his stories to continue perpetuating the sick myth of his living/dead/resurrected girlfriend, a clever choice of words to abstract the fact that he was lying.

Te’o lied about having met her face-to-face, added all kinds of other colorful details in an interview with Sports Illustrated, then lied about her existence multiple times even after he said he became aware of the hoax. And now we are supposed to believe him when he tries to explain exactly when he was telling the truth?

Please. ....................(more)

1. Who fucking cares...

Honestly, the manufactured outrage over this is pathetic. There are too many sportswriters in this country and they should all try adn get real jobs.

3. you are something else

Folks on this forum said Armstrong was lying for years and you would come in with guns a blazing screaming as loud as you can that he was innocent and those who attacked him were trash... Hell you did it the other day.

So don't come in here with this new found fucking attitude of not caring.

2. Yes. And it doesn't really matter.

He's a frigging football player not a federal judge. Personal integrity is basically meaningless in his chosen profession. So, he's a stupid, unethical dick. Can he hit and cover?


I don't care what happens to this asshole.
