Eh, ESPN was reporting that "their experts" so Todd McShay had him going 8th before the news broke.sherm03;1368735 wrote:Should I take it to the bank...or book it...or whatever?
And that slide has much more to do with him getting bowled over in the title game and little to do with this hoax.
Was this in reference to my posts? I never said he was still a lock for a top ten pick after the NC game. I said to my buddy at the bar at halftime that Te'o's stock was going to hurt.j_crazy;1368790 wrote:So if I understand the ND nuthuggers, his performance last week was piss poor but he was still a lock for top ten. Then he kills his fake girlfriend and the draft stock slides, but its because he was a piss poor linebacker for 60 minutes even though he was the best player ever all other times.

You don't question that a guy doesn't know if his "love of his life" graduated one year or two years ago - you don't follow up when he's uncertain about what she studied. You don't take 3 minutes to call Stanford? CNNSI should be ashamed.
Of course I read the column. That's why I posted. Thamel should be fired. He tried to cover up an embarrassing inability to even do a bit of investigative journalism and figure out that a woman:karen lotz;1368843 wrote:so you didn't read the column?

1) Graduated from Stanford (not sure what year)
2) Was hit by a drunk driver
3) Died from leukemia
And wasn't even mentioned in a Stanford University student newspaper, because he checked Lexis Nexis and didn't find an article?
This is the dumbest piece of journalism ever IMO. How in the world in 2012 can you not even find a Facebook, Twitter, whatever about a Stanford graduate and think "ok, that's normal"?
Sports Illustrated should be ashamed. I think of all of the people involved Te'o is the least culpable. He may have been duped, but our media can't do a single 3 second google search?
Disagree. For every time it goes this way, there are far more where "character matters" is proven true.Gblock;1368775 wrote:i still say he goes in first round or very early second round too much value to pass up...look at burfect for bengals didnt even get drafted started 15-16 games for them how many teams are kicking themselves for overthinking that situation
Maybe foe a QB, but not a line backer. They want crazy.queencitybuckeye;1368871 wrote:Disagree. For every time it goes this way, there are far more where "character matters" is proven true.
