Whatever happened to Manti Te'o?

Just funny with all the hype surrounding this guy that there hasn't been any news on how he looks with the Chargers. Obviously he's hurt now but for a guy who was all that and a bag of chips before the draft, there hasn't been a peep since.

What did you expect? Early reports were positive then he got hurt.

False. Every report was that he looked so good in camp that he was going to be their starter. Now he's hurt. If this is how everybody thinks than EJ is a bust already because, outside of Buffalo, not much was being said about him and then he got hurt.

 

I love how people lack an understanding of how small markets work. Until you win a championship or do something controversial enough to get on ESPN then your team and every player on it is irrelevant. This doesn't mean that they're bad, though.

Te'o was a media phenom for months (some for bad reasons). You'd think ESPN would pay some attention to what he was doing. San Diego isn't Siberia.

San Diego hasn't been relevant since they had Sproles. Gates is probably on his last year or two. Rivers is a shell of his former self. Weddle is the only good player on their defense. Virtually unknown WR corp. Bum of a RB in Matthews. 2nd RB Pats utility Woodhead.

 

Wouldn't call that a lot of star power, location or not. Tampa's pretty nice, they don't get a lot of coverage. Small market is small market.

Daily update: still not practicing. Not that exciting. They decided to let the tabloid story go.

I think your observation is a microcosm of the hype around the draft. Were it not for the draft hype machine, we would not have heard all too much about him...except of course, for that fictitious dream girl. I have to go now to feed my flying tiger....

I'm not sure I could name 5 of their players.

 

Rivers, Mathews, Gates, Weddle and Vincent Brown. After that I can't think of a single charger

 

oh and Teo
