Wii U looking really good after Nintendos press conference today

Can't blame Groce for a T there. Horrendous call. Of course, didn't look like he deserved a T either.

Simeon actually played well yesterday. Kendrick Nunn looked like an absolute monster. Tate had ten points and eight assists.

Eh, she's right

Also this: Besides LOLing at the "it's the 16th" line, uh, @lennaykay is a parody account by a Twitter squatter. Am I missing something here? This was the same account that tweeted making fun of Teo a few days ago about Alabama. In the initial Deadspin article, it said "lennay" changed from this handle back in September.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) Good for Te'o for saying it didn't affect him in the title game. Which is hysterical, since ESPN reported otherwise last night. They have changed their story this morning.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) Usually I laugh at how ND love blinds people. Now the ND hate does the same thing. Anyways, ESPN loses nothing when Deadspin reports this. People just watch every episode of Sportscenter to see what's going on. Yeah, you know, other than their credibility. Speaking of which, ESPN has been caught removing parts of the interview they already reported on. You can't make this stuff up, at this point.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 08:06 AM) Yeah ESPN has lost their credibility because they're telling Manti's side of the story. Theyve not really offered on it yet. You guys all sound ridiculous right now. Sorry schaap isn't saying this loser manti is lying so there no reason to report what he said. Huh? No, he has no integrity left to take an interview that can't be filmed and the lawyer has to be there.

This is great though. Te'o has basically called out Swarbrick for being a liar.

Schaap was about the last credible guy espn had left. Hell, it is why he was assigned to the story. But yeah, he's lost all of his integrity tonight.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 06:10 AM) This ESPN report is crap. Schaap as much of a respected reporter is just spewing out the Te'o agenda. They should have insisted on a camera or no interview. What p**** s*** is this? It's called ESPN.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what that sounds like.

LOL, so bad Groce. Just terrible.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 02:11 AM) So I saw this asked a couple of years ago and didn't give it much thought then but who did more damage to Illinois basketball Bruce Pearl or Bruce Weber? The answer very well might be Weber. Pretty astonishing. I like you as a poster, but come on. They are losing by 15 to Northwestern at home and your first thought is to bring up Bruce Weber?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 11:52 PM) These statements alone seem contradictory. EditI looked at ND's 2011 schedule, and October 15, 2011 was open. Everything from interview to interview, he contradicts himself. There is no consistency.

After the SI article, it is over. There is nothing to do now but admit it, Teo.

There's no one on their roster named Brandon.

It wasn't hacked. It was not the account to begin with.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) Lennays twitter just said they are releasing a statement shortly. Pretty sure that's not the real handle, as per the Deadspin article. Even CNN was duped on it.

Teo cancelled his interview. First Take is must watch tv. Stephen A Smith, holy s***, he is destroying Teo.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 06:02 AM) It's just way too much, reading through Twitter timelines it seems every Samoan in southern California is in on the joke. Read the Twitter you posted. He clarifies a lot of it. It goes back to what we already knew from Deadspin.

The rahz guy said he outted tsiaosopo in 2008. Haven't talked to him since. Didn't know teos gfs name until December. He had nothing to do with it.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 06:06 AM) "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there." Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's not Te'o's parents saying that they ever met her. At least if that's the quote everyone is relying on. IIRC from reading this afternoon, the Deadspin article makes it explicitly clear that the family never met her.
