Manti Te'o's father blacklists Honolulu Star-Advertiser

I don't see it on that FB page. Might have scrubbed it already.

 

He's going to be blacklisting a lot of papers next year, I wager. In a few years, people are going to remember T'eo the way they remember Andy Katzenmoyer.

 

Yep. I've been saying this all year. A lot of his value was tied up in a fluke statistic for his position: Seven interceptions. He won't have seven interceptions in his NFL career. He won't have five.

 

Teo will become the Tim Tebow of linebackers.

I remember "The Big Cat" as an impressive freshman with an instinctive feel for LB and a quick first step. I also remember him as a senior probably 30 -40 lbs heavier and not near as quick or effective was he was earlier in his college career.

Teo looked like he spent the month of December on the banquet circuit when he should have been in the weight room.

Alabama totally exploited Teo and the the vaunted Diacco no crease D. It did not help that Nix was man handled by Barret Jones which freed up the 'Bama guards to get to Teo.

 

Gil Brandt projected the Giants will draft Te'o.

Yeah, have fun boycotting the media there.

 

I don't want this to be true because he seems like a very nice kid with a nice story, but he's going to run a 4.75 at the combine and sink like a stone.

 

Terrible use of text on a photo.

 

Teo's father does not seem like a "Brian" like O'bama does not seem like a "Barry". Must be a Hawaiian thing.

 

A friend of mine said Manti Te'o translates to Brian Bosworth. But at least Te'o isn't a jerk. He's got that going for him. I bet he runs a 4.8 and sinks like a millstone. Football isn't played in a telephone booth anymore.

 

Star-Advertiser cost him a scholarship.

 

I think Te'o future success depends on getting to an NFL team that has a scheme that suits him. He needs a team with huge DT's that protect their LB's like the Ravens. Maybe he is a fit to replace Ray Lewis.

Vontaze Burfict fell like a stone last year and ended up starting for the Bengals because he got into a system that worked for him.

 

You laugh, but just wait until he drops in the draft. The Notre Dame fan forums on the Internet will provide you with hours of entertainment as it occurs throughout the process. I've seen few Internet meltdowns like the one I witnessed the day that Brady Quinn dropped. I bet an overwhelming majority at the most popular ND message board blamed Todd McShay. It became accepted knowledge there - fact - that Todd McShay, to spite Notre Dame because Notre Dame is on NBC and not ESPN, intimidated teams into not drafting Brady Quinn.
