Been seeing and hearing all about this Manti T'eo thing so I just looked it up on espn. Wtf? Who ****in cares? How is that even a story? I was expecting some deep seeded scandal of some sorts but this crap? I'm still not exzactly sure what's so interesting about this unless I'm just missing something here. Either he had a fake girlfriend or he didn't...is that the gist of all this? What is this, a freaking football days of our lives soap opera episode? So what if he was lying and so what if he was telling the truth. Big effin deal

It's abnormal, we dig that.

Oh your one of those guys eh...big suprise. Its just not even a story really I mean a fake girlfriend? So what...I think the drama T.O. brought to the field was more exciting to watch and hear about than this. The same with the Lance Armstrong thing, so he lied all these years. Wow, I could give two ****s if the dude was cheating or not personaly. If its drama make it good drama to at least justify the publicity it gets in the media. Abnormal yes...deserving of making such big ripples in the sports world..no.

That's pretty harsh. By "We", I meant the public at large. I was definitely interested to hear a bit more about the Te'o case, just because how strange it was. I've never been one to obsess or watch coverage on news events (unless the Daily Show and Colbert count).

I assumed Lance was guilty a while back. Plus, he's always been such a dick that I also assumed that his apology would be a surface level PR stunt.

I thought you were just being a smart ass actually..my bad. Anyway I just saw a story that could be extremly detrimental to the 9ers super bowl victory hopes. Crabtree was accused of sexual assault, and this is not the kind of thing you want surrounding your team at this point in the season. Hard to even speculate on cause of course there are very few details at this point but none the less a very serious matter.

Sports Nation poll was 70% to 30% in favor of Kaepernick getting to the super bowl over Ryan.

Well ladies this is where we get to see what ol Kaps really made of. Down early by 10 points so far and has to play from behind. Exzactly what you didn't want him to have to do this game. I'll say this, if Kap leads them to victory on the second biggest stage of the NFL season. He definately will have earned my respect for life and I hope he does. Thats what champs do is win when the odds are stacked against you.

17 14 now. I really hope the 9ers make it because I am not quite sure if the Pats can beat the falcons.

[Bloozcrooz]

24-21 now. I will say Kaps showing great poise so far and not getting rattled by the noise at the line of scrimmage. This is turning out to be a great game.

I have to give it to your boy Kap...great composure and poise and overcame adversity throughout the game. Validating his potential to be one of the leagues premier QB's in the future. Hats off to Kap on a job well done on the road against a great Falcons team. And also to Harbaugh for seeing something that maybe the rest of us couldn't fathom until proven otherwise. Taking a team with all the tools to have been a star caliber team before he got there, and solidifying their place at the top amongst the rest of the NFL. I like the 9ers and now I'm a believer of Collin Kaepernick.

Congrats Exo
