BTW, that tracks dead on with how I viewed how ND handled this not even knowing about Seeberg. I tweeted this a couple of days ago. Glory and profit actually make more sense than covering their own arse...

Ironic how quick ND has reacted to protect its own reputation. Do they really have the kid's best interest at heart or is it CYA? View conversation Hide conversation Reply

I will tell you how hard it is to get a story on a national paper. I did investigative reporting for a radio network and the first anniversary of Katrina, I had a person who was a Mississippi State (not the school) Employee send me a message they recieved from then Gov. Haley Barbour telling them to only mention positive things about our recovery and anyone who mentioned the many problems that they were not addressing would be fired. I call a national paper, told them who I was and offered the story to them, but they told me to first get it printed in the Clarion Ledger or Times Picayune and when it was printed let them know and they would LOOK at it. I told them to forget it because I could present it to a national audience but thought it would be helpful if they would cover it. It was a vice president of the paper I talked to and she admitted it was a great story but they had a policy of doing it that way, so her hands were tied. So it shows you how such a story as this one can go unchallenged so long and what should have been reported long ago took so long.

You just epitomized why I despise the media in totality....social media may be associated with terms such as, "rhetoric", "misinformation", etc...take it every day over the Comcrap/ESPN/Network spin.

BTW, TEO is GAY....white rap for ya...book it....this one is going to be hilarious to watch itself play out...dayum, I meant that pun too.

It sounds now like a few people might be owing Mr. Ta'o an apology...

at least according to TMZ and yahoo.

Quote:ESPN played the voice of Tuiasosopo's friend on the air, who claimed that she had talked to Tuiasosopo.

"He [Ronaiah] told me that Manti was not involved at all, he was a victim. ... The girlfriend was a lie, the accident was a lie, the leukemia was a lie," the woman told ESPN. "He was crying, he was literally crying, he's like 'I know, I know what I have to do.'

It's another dude's hand. So he's at least moving in the right direction.
