via Twitter: Manti Te'o to ESPN: "When they hear the facts, they'll know. They'll know there is no way I could be a part of this." -- nm - charlie Jan 18, 20:53 3
- "Manti Te'o denies involvement in hoax to Jeremy Schaap of ESPN. "No. Never. I wasn't faking it. I wasn't part of this." -- nm - charlie Jan 18, 20:54 2
  - I believe Schaap will be doing a sement on the interview on ESPN after the basketball game tonight. -- nm - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 21:06 1
    - So of course, OT... -- nm - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 21:30

Oprah, can we do this without the cameras on? -- nm - Lance Armstrong Jan 18, 20:38
Q about Ta'o's alledged girlfriend...was he sending money? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 18, 20:25 2
- There may be an investigation into whether or not someone was asking for or accepting money for her expenses. - tl Jan 18, 20:29
- I have read nothing to imply that he was. Also nothing to say that he was not. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 20:26
Heh. Fringe finale spoils - Reagen Jan 18, 20:23 1
- And so long, Fringe. - Reagen Jan 18, 20:39

Not Blade Runner. Should be Blade Runner. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 18, 20:18 1
- I think I just found a prime location for shooting some exterior shots -- nm - Ridley Scott Jan 18, 20:20
The problem with The Social Network, which my wife is watching right now, is that it makes me want to watch Zombieland. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 20:16 4
- I don't see this as a problem. -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:00
- The first rule of Zombieland? -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 20:18 2

Just watched Star Trek First Contact -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 20:10 18
- *smirks at another cast member* -- nm - Riker Jan 18, 20:19
- Never want to see that one again. - tl Jan 18, 20:12
- Excellent. I go back and forth whether this or Wrath of Khan is the best Star Trek movie -- nm - amoxy Jan 18, 20:12 15
  - [deleted]
  - Wrath of Khan, then 6 before Last Contact -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 20:15 9
    - First last you know what I mean -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 20:18
    - None of the Next Gen movies are all that good. TNG just had a different feel to it that didn't translate to film - TWuG Jan 18, 20:18 7
      - Rick Berman would never let them go full Ron Moore or anything, especially with the features - charlie Jan 18, 20:21 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 20:24
      - You guys are insane. First Contact is a great movie -- nm - amoxy Jan 18, 20:21 1
        
        Nah. It's okay. But it has too much Berman to be great. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:23
      - Not that good but still better than 1 and 5 of the original cast. -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 20:19 2
        
        I almost said "I'd rather watch all but 1 and 5 over the Next Gen films." :-) - TWuG Jan 18, 20:21
        
        Not AS good -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 20:19
  - Wrath of Khan. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 20:13 3
    - No contest. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 20:13 2

      - the smartest thing you've ever posted - charlie Jan 18, 20:14
For those questioning why he hasn't/ when he would, Te'o is currently being interviewed by ESPN's Jeremy Schaap -- (link) - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 19:59 26
- Off Camera? Why? I would think he would want to have everything recorded -- nm - amoxy Jan 18, 20:06 25
  - Yeah, that was a bad choice. Especially given the nature of the scandal, he kind of needs to be... - prayformojo Jan 18, 20:08 1
    - And on a Friday night? Dumping time -- nm - amoxy Jan 18, 20:08
  - off-camera means he gets to say he was misquoted. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:08 21
    - There's a photo of the interview in progress, there are two people (besides Te'o) in the room. - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:11 20
      - Te'o, Jeremy Shaap and Te'o's attorney -- (link) - amoxy Jan 18, 20:18
      - ... WTF is Lance Armstrong doing there? -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 20:14
      - You got to admit if he was duped like he said he was, he would want to speak on camera - amoxy Jan 18, 20:13 17
        
        FFS This is absurd, think about the worst disastrous relationship you've had, do you want to talk about that on camera? - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:17 16
        
        Yes, the whole fucking story is absurd. - amoxy Jan 18, 20:20 7
        
        You might want to take your own advice. - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:24 6
        
        I wanted to believe him, he seemed like a good guy. There are just waaay too many holes in this story that - amoxy Jan 18, 20:27 5
        
        You'll note I said nothing when this story broke, because I wanted to believe him but wasn't sure. At this point I'm fairly well convinced that he's t - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:30 4
        
        So you have no problem with him not going to the hospital when she was on her deathbed? - amoxy Jan 18, 20:35 2
        
        No, because she told him no matter what that she wanted him to stay. As far as being "fairly" good friends, you base this on 2 (3?) tweets - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 21:21
        
        was he at his grandmother's? And wasn't that during the season? -- nm - tl Jan 18, 20:39
        
        The consensus so far (various talking heads, etc.) is that he was duped. - tl Jan 18, 20:33
        
        the worst disastrous relationship i had was with a real girl. how broken up can you get about someone who never existed? -- nm - charlie Jan 18, 20:19 7
        
        She existed to him, there was a real person on the other end deceiving him. -- nm - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:23 5
        
        and he's known for over a month now that it was all a lie. how long does he need to grieve for that? -- nm - charlie Jan 18, 20:24 4
        
        It's so much less embarassing now that he's been the butt of jokes on all the late night shows and is now a n internet meme. -- nm - tl Jan 18, 20:26 2
        
        So you think been the butt of jokes across the country makes this less embarrassing for him? - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:31 1
        
        You really need to have that sarcasm detector checked. - tl Jan 18, 20:35
        
        Grieve, or feel a tremendous amount of embarrassment? - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 20:25
        
        Did you miss the part where she never existed? That's pretty embarassing -- nm - tl Jan 18, 20:22

- Okay, okay. I take it back. -- nm - kelly Jan 18, 20:01
- I thought the marketing matched the movie pretty well. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 20:00
- The ads actually have me wanting to see it. - No. 4 Stephen in the nation! Jan 18, 19:59
- it did $15 million o.w. and $65 million in the U.S. - charlie Jan 18, 19:58
- I would say that since they got it $64 million, they did it pretty well. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 19:57 7
  - Right, but iirc that seemed to be mainly because of WOM. -- nm - kelly Jan 18, 19:58 6
    - Which means more profit. If they can get that with WOM why buy ads? - TWuG Jan 18, 20:01 5
      - she said she takes it back! -- nm - charlie Jan 18, 20:02 1
        
        I'll take it under advisement. Hit her again! -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:10

- Mary? yeah there were a few really good laugh out loud scenes, the drugged frenzied dog (I'm giggling just remembering it) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 18, 19:52
