For the love of God, please, someone take the shovel off of Manti Te'o This hole he is digging is getting so deep there is no way he is going to be able to climb back out of it You are probably following Te'o attempts to clear his sullied, muddied name by staging bizarre ESPN 'interviews' (they would appear to be 'interviews' along the same lines as a Kim Jong-il Press Release) where no real questions are asked while Manti finds new and interesting ways of making his whole story more confusing We will leave you to trawl through the facts and fiction and instead point you in the direction of one pretty damning comment on the unfortunate young man's part READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/the-curious-case-of-manti-teo-and-lennay-kekua-a-few-questions-for-mr-teo-187323571.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/the-curious-case-of-manti-teo-and-lennay-kekua-a-few-questions-for-mr-teo-187323571.html Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:15:53 PST
So first things first, we have to clear a little business out of the way Regular readers of this column will recall a certain Heisman trophy winner being dragged through the mud for basically being of apparent poor character Well now, Johnny Football doesn’t come across too bad now, does he?! It takes a big man to say sorry, and, Johnny Football, I am sorry You are definitely not the least reputable character amongst that Heisman class READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/can-manti-teo-win-the-heisman--176441251.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/from-the-bleachers/can-manti-teo-win-the-heisman--176441251.html Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:46:27 PDT
Just a handful of weeks ago a big, popular website scoffed openly at the potential of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o winning the Heisman Trophy, deriding the journalist who dared to suggest the possibility Well, now that same website looks (even more so than usual) pretty stupid, as all the biggest sporting sites are openly discussing and indeed suggesting the validity of the young man’s candidacyWhisper it quietly, but Manti Te'o could just very well become the first defensive player to win the Heisman trophy since Charles Woodson Manti’s play speaks for itself, as do his defensive statistics READ MORE ]]> http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/sports-central/emerald-isle-classic---notre-dame-will-look-to-manti-teo-and-everett-golson-against-navy-167849935.html http://www.irishcentral.com/story/sport/sports-central/emerald-isle-classic---notre-dame-will-look-to-manti-teo-and-everett-golson-against-navy-167849935.html Wed, 29 Aug 2012 09:31:53 PDT
In every team sport in the world there is some form of hierarchy amongst the players on the field Sometimes the division, or divisions, are clear such as in rugby where the captain is given the license to talk to officials, or in Cricket where the captain has multiple responsibilities such as designating his/her teammates positions on the field Other sports don't have official titles with such notable responsibilities, but whenever a group of people is created, different levels of leadership take prominenceThe game of American Football somewhat blurs the line between official and natural leadership patterns READ MORE ]]>
