Hopefully ESPN publishes the full transcript of the interview and not just a summary on TV or online, doubt it though.

This is the strangest coming out of the closet stories ever.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:19 PM
What the hell?

Is there a worse possible way for the first major gay athlete to come out? I know it’s an intriguing theory, but part of me hopes this isn’t the way it happens.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:23 PM
And not to insult my chosen profession, but anytime you’re talking and answering questions and feel a need to have a lawyer with you, especially when it’s not to the police, I am skeptical of you

I thought everyone here was too cool for ESPN.

Schaap: So why the lies?
Manti: Wanna see how fast I can get that golf ball out of that garden hose?
Schaap: No.

Pretty sure the hotel maid finding Michael Hutchence coming out of the closet is stranger.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:41 PM
So when does espn put up the info?

I just need something to believe in.

Honestly, this guy is a spectacular fraud
I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!!

It’s perfect timing. Major news that someone wants the public to “forget” always happens on a Friday afternoon.
January 18th, 2013 at 11:13 PM
they’re saying this may not air until 1215.

Since it’s ESPN, I’m assuming you mean 12/15.

Since it’s ESPN I assume you meant 2015.

Wait, what was Cam hiding? Perhaps TBL could do some actual journalism elbow grease before he can prove, conclusively, that Newton was hiding something.
