The Front Row

Haha. Yes, I believe there are four living Heisman winners from OSU: Cassady, Griffin, George and Smith. And really, Archie should get two ballots per year. (But he does not -- only gets one.)

This is almost sickening to hear. Heisman is very political for sure and Teo wasn't even close in my opinion. Also Shazier was more dominant on his team. ND. Going to NC helped but to think he voted that way base on that story completed degrades and humiliates the Heisman voting standards. It's almost embarrassing to sports writers in general. ND homer.

This a great example of how the media thinks--or , should I say , doesn't think ! No wonder we don't trust the media---they continually screw up whatever they touch--if you don't believe it , just look at how they picked our socialist leaders !

One thing is for certain. Ryan never Lied on his D!$/,

Manti is gay. His male friend set this up as a cover story so that they would't be ostracized from the ultra conservative Morman church.

100% in agreement. Teo is a hell of a LB. Maybe one deserving of a top 5 pick. But he is in no way a Heisman worthy LB. And he never was.

Legit Heisman talk began when he told his sob story and America ate it up.

Notre Dame, and the school's players, always get more credit than that earned. It is a fact of life. Always has been.

Te'o is a very good LB. That is not even in question. But, there are several outstanding LBs, including Shazier, who had equivalent years statistically and in terms of impact, who got very little credit from the media.

The two reasons that Te'o was second in the Heisman balloting were that he played for ND and he had this story, which now appears to be fraudulent. Setting aside all of the inconsistencies in Te'o's explanations, one has to wonder. How could anyone who attended such a great school (academically) have believed for years that this woman was: (i) real; and (ii) his girlfriend.

In my opinion, and that is all it can be since no one except Te'o and his cohorts has all the facts, this entire story was created to give Te'o a chance to get the Heisman and increase his draft status.

NFL GMs do make mistakes, but even the worst of them has to be questioning whether this guy is worth a high draft pick.

Just saw on ESPN that a Girls' Baseball Team, I think in Kentucky, is going to have a Te'o Girlfriend Bobblehead Day. That is funny!

They play different positions in different schemes but you've also bought in to his hype. He caught a few tipped passes this year. He isn't Laranitis. Look at his career stats, the picks were an anamoly. He wasn't going to be a top 5 pick. That was part of the media hype. There are literally dozens and dozens of better LBers in CFB right now. Ryan Shazier is most certainly a better NFL prospect.
