Gottlieb has actually been the worst of the major media I have seen. Has been going out of his way to make dumb jokes about it. He makes one at least every other day.

Number one reason why I follow @richarddeitsch is b/c I hate Gottlieb, and he OWNED Doug in a twitter war last month.

I absolutely despise him.

Maybe just me but I find nothing amusing about grown men making fun of a young adult. Especially those that are supposed to be professionals.

I am tired of hearing about this crap! Everywhere you look or listen to someone is still driving this. I can't wait for the draft so Teo can move move with his career and so can the university.

I have always liked Manti and always will but please be done with this.

Best way to treat crap like him is pretend he doesn't exist. Never heard of him before this season and I will avoid him the rest of my life. I only hope to recognize him enough to recognize if I ever run into him to say "Hey, aren't you that classless POS c-list sports scribbler?"

Hell no I didn't want him anywhere near our helmets, players, campus, the state of Indiana.

I'll remind everyone we hadn't lost until he touched the helmets. He is singularly the reason we lost.

Is it me or does he remind you of that drunk uncle/cousin you shuffle to the corner at family events, and you never let him be alone with anyone?

He's a possum sucking, skunk eating, squirrel abusing, son of a b*tch!

Did PETA write anyone else back??
Click to expand...

below is mine...this is a well-written condescending non-apology written by lawyers...and the message reminds me of PEWEE Herman...I MEANT TO DO THAT... BS, PETA crumbled under the heat, and then did a half-assed statement about why, then subsequently claimed it was all part of the master plan with the help of a quote from some NBC sports guy...bunch of whack jobs drinking their own bath water...I don't wish pain on animals....but some of the PETA folks ???...well, lets say I'm gonna need to go to confession.

As for using NBC sportscaster...I see what they tried to do...probably tells you all you need to know about PETA...






Thank you for writing to PETA about our “faking it” billboard featuring Manti Te’o. We intended to place the billboard in the New Orleans area in time for Super Bowl XLVII but have removed it at the University of Notre Dame’s request. To read more, please go to Manti Got Buffaloed—but You Shouldn't | PETA.org.



PETA’s billboard was intended to let football players and fans alike know that they can enjoy Super Bowl fare that is kind to their waistlines and to animals and that disappears more quickly than a fake girlfriend. Recipes for a variety of delicious vegan chicken dishes and other snacks are posted on PETA’s website at Vegan Recipes for Football Season (Photos) | PETA.org.



Humor is often a very useful tool for reaching people who may be put off by a more serious approach, and making people laugh opens them up to receiving more somber information. American society is obsessed with celebrities such as Te’o who choose to make their lives and loves public, but we want the media to stop talking about people’s private lives and focus the discussion on a life-and-death issue for billions of real victims—and that’s just what this billboard suggestion did. PETA’s bait-and-switch approach to getting attention for animal causes has been widely lauded. As an NBC Sports columnist wrote, “This is really a win-win for all involved, except for the chickens. PETA gets its publicity, Manti Te’o doesn’t have to see his face on a billboard outside the Super Bowl …. PETA plays this game so well it’s not really fair.”



Super Bowl Sunday and every day are blowout losses for the more than 9 billion chickens who are raised on factory farms each year in the U.S. to be killed for food. To maximize profits, producers try to raise as many animals as they can in the least amount of space possible. Extremely crowded in filthy cages or sheds, many of these animals never feel the warmth of the sun on their backs, breathe fresh air, or feel grass beneath their feet.



Chickens raised for their flesh, called “broilers” by the chicken industry, spend their entire lives in filthy sheds with tens of thousands of other birds, where intense crowding and confinement lead to outbreaks of disease. They are bred and drugged to grow so large so quickly that their legs and organs can’t keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformities common. Many become crippled under their own weight and eventually die because they can’t reach food or water. When they are only 6 or 7 weeks old, they are crammed into small cages and trucked to slaughter through all weather extremes. Hundreds of millions suffer from broken wings and legs because of rough handling, and millions die from the stress of the journey.



At slaughterhouses, chickens’ legs are shackled, their throats are cut, and they are immersed in scalding-hot water to remove their feathers. Because they have no federal legal protection (birds are exempt from the U.S. Humane Methods of Slaughter Act), most are still conscious when their throats are cut open, and many are scalded to death in feather-removal tanks.



If you haven’t already, please consider sparing chickens a miserable life and a violent death by taking them—and all animals—off your plate. Humans don’t need to eat meat: In fact, we’re healthier if we don’t. To read a list of reasons not to eat chickens, please go to Top 10 Reasons Not to Eat Chicken | PETA.org. For thousands of free vegan recipes, health and shopping tips, and more, please visit Vegetarian Living | PETA.org. To learn how you can promote vegan living, please visit Help Animals Used for Food | Never Be Silent. To make a donation in support of PETA’s campaigns, please visit http://www.PETA.org/donate.



Thank you again for writing and for your interest in PETA.



Sincerely,



The PETA Staff

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): The animal rights organization | PETA.org

Te'o is above this but if I was in his shoes I would troll the f*** out of Reilly and Schefter. Both of them MUST be the first to break a story. Send them a DM on twitter and leak some BS that they would eventually go on live TV to "break." When it comes back as total BS and they have egg on their face, send them the above photo with the note,

"Don't believe everything you read on social media." - Manti

F*** Reilly and Schefter.
