Either poorly written or I'm missing something.One mark—who had been "introduced" to Lennay by Tuiasosopo—lasted about a month before family members grew suspicious that Lennay could never be found on the telephone, and that wherever one expected Lennay to be, Ronaiah was there instead. Two sources discounted Ronaiah's stunt as a prank that only metastasized because of Te'o's rise to national celebrity this past season.

i think they are walking on eggshells because they do not want to offend nd, but they need to figure out a way to cover this and maintain a modicum of journalistic integrity. at least look like they tried.Combination ofAlso, how is this not a feature (picture) story on ESPN.com's front page?
A) They don't want to make themselves look silly for 110% buying in on the story for the title game
B) They don't want to give Deadspin the credit
C) They want sports to be the MOAST POSITIVE UPLIFTING THING ON EARTH!!!
D) Jeremy Schaap hasn't had time to formulate a semi-coherent story yet.
Basically, they either did not have the story, or hid the story for whatever reason. Now they are going to try to downplay the story as a result; however, they look awful right now because the story has already become much, much bigger than ESPN.
every other sports website is all over this. and, apparently, they have known about this for some time.They've covered it a lot on TV. Not sure why it's not as prominent on their site. Probably because they don't have any great thing to add so they're waiting for someone to write something insightful before they show something as a featured story.
