Manti Te’o has spoken to a reporter for the first time in days and gone on the record:
He played no role in Lennay Kekua and duping the public into believing he had a girlfriend who died of cancer.
“I wasn’t faking it. I wasn’t part of this,” Te’o told ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap last night in a two-and-a-half hour, off-camera interview.
The Notre Dame linebacker and NFL prospect even said he didn’t know for total certainty that Kekua was a fabrication until Wednesday night when Ronaiah Tuiasosopo called him and admitted to the hoax.
“Two guys and a girl are responsible for the whole

Manti Te’o has spoken out about the Lennay Kekua death hoax, as it’s now been verified that the Notre Dame linebacker was never dating a Stanford student by that name last year.
But the Heisman Trophy finalist is denying reports that he played a role in duping America, instead releasing a statement that says he fell victim to someone on the Internet.

One year ago, it was uncertain whether Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson would even suit up in 2012, due to a pair of gruesome injuries.
But now the former is headed for the playoffs, the latter may set the all-time rushing record and both stars have been named Pro Bowl starters.
The NFL announced the rosters last night for its meaningless postseason celebration, with Manning under center for the AFC and Peterson in the backfield for the NFC.
With an asterisk denoting the starters, here is a look at the selected offensive and defensive players for both conferences:

5 months ago
A disturbing, shameless, yet kind of hilarious new tabloid report claims the infamous 1994 O.J. Simpson murders were actually caught on video.
Yes, the National Enquirer claims it has video from O.J.’s ALLEGED (totally real) slayings of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
On the one hand, the Enquirer reached a new low with this one.
On the other hand … admit it, you kinda wanna read this, right?
How on earth this celebrity news (term used beyond loosely, like Lindsay Lohan loosely) publication keeps going back to the OJ well, we have no idea.

8 months ago
If Chad Johnson’s Evelyn Lozada tattoo was/is an attempt at patching things up, what he may have instead is a permanent reminder of what he lost.
She’s not taking him back.
Lozada is adamant that they are over after his arrest on August 11 for domestic battery. “You can’t repair this,” she told People. “You just can’t.”
After a nuclear argument set off by a receipt for condoms in their car, Lozada went to the hospital for stitches, and Johnson spent a night in jail.
An upcoming reality show starring the couple, Ev and Ocho, was canceled by VH1, and he was also cut by the Miami Dolphins

1 year ago
The Beastie Boys’ MCA, real name Adam Yauch, has died.
The hip hop pioneer was 47. In 2009, MCA announced he was being treated for cancer of the parotid gland and a lymph node. He underwent surgery and radiation therapy.
It is unclear as of this posting whether Yauch’s death was related to cancer.

They trio landed their big break after working with young producer Rick Rubin, who would sign them to his newly-formed Def Jam Recordings in 1984.
