Most of the strong opinions come from the freelancers or analysts. The main corps of anchors and reporters carry the company message.

SVG just talked about the Te'o story on ESPN during the DAL/OKC game. Said he didn't know who to believe and that there are "just so many inconsistencies"



Jeff gives zero fricks about ESPN or anyone else. He is like SaS. They put up with him because he is good at his job. If he leaves, TNT would just pluck him up in 10 minutes.

Towing the tebow line is one thing. Having your intelligence insulted is another. Its actually pretty telling that espn employees aren't all in line for the "manti is a victim" conspiracy

Exactly..They want to wear the reporter hat and stay unbiased and take no sides.

Although I haven't seen many columnists blast Te'o.

Most plead the fifth and say they can't pass judgement until all the details come out

Definitely, but honestly I'd say TNT blows ESPN out of the water for NBA games.

Ha, no shite. This was getting very tiring to follow, glad I can go on with my life now that ESPN is on it and has the truth.

Well that closes this investigation. Its not like Mantis Uncle has a vested interest in seeing Teo come off of this as the victim. Great work sir.

I believe that none of the ESPN anchors even think anymore. It seems like they're more of a visual prop than reporters of sports news.

The new anchors are awful. It's an ethnic and gender mixture of how Disney sees the country. Just like their damn kids shows.

It just blows my mind. If I am to believe Te'o then he has to be the dumbest, most gullible person to have ever walked the earth. Please do not procreate, Te'o.

A third parallel comes in a quotation Te'o shared with his teammates before practice on the day he learned that Kekua had died just hours after his grandmother, who did actually pass away that day in September.

According to Sports Illustrated, he told his teammates, "My girlfriend always told me, 'Send roses while they can still smell them, tell people you love them while they can still hear.'"


Te'o's in on it...

You know when your buddy's cousin has Leukemia and that he was in an accident and you're reading his Facebook.
