So.....Manti Te'o. How far does he fall in the draft now?

Can't say I've seen a lot of him but he was projected top 10. Clearly, whatever is the truth of the story isn't good for him.

His performance in the National Championship game would've bumped him out of the top 10. He may even fall to a late round 1, early round 2 pick now...

Still indoors, it's a commercial necessity these days IMO as it allows you to host exhibitions, events and stuff like NCAA Final Four.

Keep perpetuating these myths about The Mattural (copyright - Rich Eisen), going to make that Superbowl win all the sweeter

I don't actually agree with the thought that he's no good away from the dome but i thought i'd just mention it anyway

As for your new stadium i just looked it up and it's going to have a retractable roof which is the best way to go as I think american football should be played outdoors the way it was invented but you'll also be able have indoor events with the roof closed.

We are fine at LB so unless we want to replace Hawk or he falls massively I don't see us taking him.

I wouldn't want to anyway. He comes out of the whole situation pretty poorly. If he was hoaxed and knew absolutely nothing about it then at best he is naive (before you even get to why wouldn't he visit his girlfriend in hospital/go to the funeral/visit her family etc). If it turns out he knew about it, either entirely or part way through, and went along with it then that is obviously a ridiculous thing to do.

I think he must have known, like you said pal, to have leukaemia and to have been in a car crash and not to feel the need to go visit her. It's gonna be a strange draft as it is with no clear no1 pick.

Sky are a joke. Boring off to Alistair Kirkwood about the games at Wembley next year and missing a touchdown.

I like Matt Ryan (former bc qb), but the Falcons just annoy me.
