Don’t know about the whole season, but Teo himself is definitely a hoax. Media creation (just like the “honey-badger” last year) that they need to create interest and get people to pay attention to their propaganda.
If you watched any ND games, Teo is basically a smallish linebacker who happens to be a non-black minority, hence the media frenzy. I never saw him make a single stand out play, despite all the hysterical hype. I’m sure he did make some plays but nothing really extraordinary and deserving of all the hype.
Agree. He was exposed against Alabama. Too small, slow and not strong enough. Someone said he was the next Ray Lewis......pfft. I don’t think he’s even the next Junior Seau or Palumalu.
Every ND game I watched this season had the obligatory ode to what a courageous player Manti was, fighting on the field through his heartbreak, etc. They’d spend a minute or two speaking about his tribulations in hushed tones until I wanted to scream. And yet no one ever thought to check out the veracity of this story? I can guaran-damn-tee you that if it had been Tebow telling this tale, they’d have found out everything they could about this woman in a weekend!
