I will say this, its not a Huge need for Tampa, but i wouldn't be terribly upset if they take Te'o at 13, and would be pretty damn thrilled if he falls and they take him in the 2nd round. He is still gonna be a very good LB

That line was so good at obliterating all the other obvious jokes already posted that it deserves to be displayed with the full Tweet BBCode that I just put in today.Simple Torture wrote:

Anyone who was not on twitter immediately following the publication of the Deadspin article missed a lot of fantastic internet hilarity.

So Te'o cancelled his interview with ESPN today, and Deadspin has some good speculation as to why:
http://deadspin.com/5976816/what-happen ... -with-espn
http://deadspin.com/5976816/what-happen ... -with-espn
It's not clear whether ESPN landed and lost the interview, or if they never had it in the first place. But there are two decent reasons for Te'o to look elsewhere when he wants to tell his version of events. First, Jeremy Schaap fancies himself a hard-hitting interviewer, and wouldn't let this sit-down go by without asking specific, pointed questions that leave no wiggle room for non-answers. Te'o's statement contains facts that don't mesh with what's been reported, so it would be very easy for Schaap, if he wanted to, to pin Te'o down on a lie. Much better for Te'o to find another, softer interviewer. Like, say, Oprah.
The second reason ESPN might not be the best fit for Te'o is his newfound professional status. It was announced last night that Notre Dame is no longer handling his media availability—he's now represented by agency CAA, which signed him as a client last week. This means he can now be paid for interviews and appearances (so-called checkbook journalism), and ESPN generally doesn't pay. Lots of other places do, though. Like, say, Oprah.
