    The fool. He obviously doesn't know you can only win the Heisman if you're a QB or RB.

    If he had won the Heisman and then this news came to light, I wonder if the Heisman Committee would have withdrawn the award?

    Let's say he was in on this, which I think he damn well is, because otherwise he's the biggest chump since.....well, for a very long time. This is such a low-down thing to do, I hope he gets destroyed for it.

    I am not quite sure why this is such a scandal that it is the lead story of every news show. If he made up the whole story and it put him over the top to win the Heisman, that would be a scandal. He didn't win the Heismanl, so why is this garbage front page news. If this was his doing, what did he do?

    He made up a girlfriend with a fictional life.

    Other athletes beat, abuse and sexually assault woman, girlfriends and wives, but that isn't the lead story on every news show.

    He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend got into a very serious car accident.

    Other athletes get DUI'd and DWI'd fairly regularly and some even cause fatalities, but that is never the lead story on every news show.

    He made up a story that his fictional girlfriend died of leukemia.

    A KC Chief Player killed his girlfriend and himself and that story would have fast faded from the news cycle except that Bob Costas turned it into a gun control issue.

    Why the heck does this stupid story have such legs?

    Yeah, that is pretty sad. I think it has everything to do with his popularity as a player, and how big of a deal they made out of his girlfriend dying.

    If you are famous, everything you do is going to be magnified by your fame. I mean, when SHE died, it was all about him back then. No one tried to go find out anything about her, her family, or tried to get a story. It was about Manti Te'o who was playing like a trooper.

    It's good to know we live in a nation that cares so much.

    Because it's drama, and because reporting is really easy. Just repeat what Deadspin said and throw in some conjecture based on dates of interviews. Also, because this is a more unique story than an athlete beating up a woman - sorry to say, but that happens too often as it is to be considered top news any more.
