So I got into it with a USC buddy last night about Te'o. I let him go on and on about how Te'o had to know because there's all that evidence against him and he could have doctored his evidence and that no one could be that stupid and blah blah blah. Oh, and ND covered up a rape. Finally, I let 'er rip:
1. I find it glorious how all you USC idiots believe EVERYTHING the media says slandering Te'o and ND, but yet you ALWAYS slam the same media when they say things like: USC cheated with Bush, USC paid Bush, USC paid Bush's parents, Mark Sanchez raped a girl, Kiffin cheated by deflating the footballs, Kiffin is a lying, cheating scumbag, Kiffin pulled Kylie Fitts' scholarship earlier this month, Joe McKnight received improper benefits, Cheatie Petey hired extra coaches, Leinart's dad paid for Dwayne Jarrett's rent so they could live off-campus, etc etc etc. You guys are always railing on the media for always being wrong, but yet with this story, they suddenly are 100% correct and you post every single negative article and tweet out there and report it as fact??? WTF??? Explain.
2. If no one could be that stupid, then how could a movie AND a recurring TV show be running about people who have been duped the same way? Are those thousands of people making it up too??? ("Yeah, but Manti went to ND, he's supposed to be smart.") OK, so why are doctors and lawyers and teachers and architects getting scammed by these people as well? (Silence)
3. What was his motive??? The Heisman? Are you that ****ing stupid? Do you even know what a football is? Forget the fact that this scam was perpetuated in 2009...he was told she died after the second game of the year!!! At that point, ND BARELY beat a bad Purdue team, we were about to get hammered by Michigan St (every pundit said so), not to mention upcoming losses to Stanford, Oklahoma and USC, MAnti had exactly one pick and one fumble recovery, and no defensive player had ever won the award in the history of the Heisman! And you think he did it for the Heisman, planning it all the way back then??? Man, who's the stupid one now, you or Manti?
4. Manti's biggest mistake was that he let people believe he met her. He admits it was stupid. I agree that was a mistake. But I get it. He was embarrassed. Wouldn't you be? There's still a stigma to meeting people online, and ever worse being in love with someone you've never met. Look at all the people clowning him now! They would have been clowning him back then as well. And again, he had no idea he was getting scammed at the time, that this would become what it did. All you losers who are piling on are the reason he didn't let people know in the first place. People nowadays are brutal. At least Manti knew that, and he was right.
5. When TJ SImers or Bill Plashke write an anti-SC article, you guys say they are the worst reporters out there and you wish they'd die. But when they write something you agree with, hey, they FINALLY got one right. Same thing goes with Cowherd, Petros, and everyone else out there. They're the stupidest human beings on earth, until they see USC's side of things. Then they're fine by you. When Ted Miller was writing all those articles defending you after the sanctions, he was the only one who 'gets it'. Then when he ripped Kiffin, he was the biggest idiot out there. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
6. You realize that the ND player touched the girl's breast, and when she said no and flipped out, he stopped. You realize that right? So if that is rape, you and I would have been put in jail a LONG time ago, and several times in fact (especially you LOL). Again, do a little research before you blindly accept what the media says.
His response: "Yeah, but the tweets, and the evidence in the deadspin article, and the..."
Me: So you agree that USC cheated, USC paid Reggie Bush, Mark Sanchez raped a girl, USC pulled Kylie Fitts' scholarship, and Kiffin is constantly cheating? That's what the media says. And I'm just getting started. I could go on and on about what the media says about USC. So Manti is involved in the hoax, and USC did everything the media says it did. We cool with that every time we talk?
Silence.
I win.
(Oh, and I realize that ND fans are the same way SC fans are when it comes to the media, but he didn't know that so screw him.)
God I hate SC...
