Ex-Notre Dame LB Manti Te’o Hoax & The Heisman Trophy

[GreatWhiteShark]

Let us get some stuff out in the open,

Since:

Just select media and past winners vote on The Heisman Trophy,
The amount of defensive players that have won The Heisman Trophy communicates the real bias it has for offensive players,
The amount of offensive & Defensive linemen that have won The Heisman Trophy communicates the real bias it has for skill players,
The amount of non-traditional programs that have had their best players to have won The Heisman Trophy communicates the real bias it has for traditional programs best players,
The amount of popular & disliked programs (they are disliked more than liked, nationally) that have had their best players to have won The Heisman Trophy communicates the real bias it has for popular & liked programs' (they are liked more than disliked, nationally) best players,
The popular & disliked players (they are disliked more than liked, nationally) have never won The Heisman Trophy communicates the real bias it has for popular & liked players (they are liked more than disliked, nationally)
&
The Heisman Trophy has never been awarded to two-players, as if there has never been two-players that are equal or just too hard to find out who is best, I really could care less about The Heisman Trophy.

Unless these types of cheating (cannot call it anything else, when trophies by mostly media comes down to popularity) result from a horrible way the best player(s) is reward.

Do you think if one of the top offensive skill players (or if Manti Te’o played offensive skill position) performed the same exact hoax, then that player would have won The Heisman Trophy??

I don't understand what you are trying to ask us? Are you asking if an offensive player had that same hype as Te'o would they have won the Heisman?

Johnny Manziel won without it so obviously he would have won with it. And I don't think any of the other players this year would have won even with that hype because nobody else even came close in the voting.

Correction you understood it.

"Would Have The Hoax Been Enough 4 1 of Best Offensive Skills Player Win The Trophy??"

Sorry, about The Poll's title, I could not do any better, with the character restriction; they need to increase that.

you are aware teo did not win right? stories dont win you the heisman your play does

You are way over thinking this. Teo was only a finalist because Matt Barkley and Gino Smith fell off the map. He was only close in voting because Manziel had one terrible game (LSU) and one bad/mediocre game (UF). Teo wouldn't have been a finalist if ND wasn't undefeated either (in my opinion). The hoax didnt have as much to do with the Heisman as people want to believe.

I agree with everything, except the last sentence. What you forgot to put there is he was a good player, at best, playing easy schedule. UAlabama exposed for everyone to see

if a story could win you the heisman, teo would ahve won. he didn't because manziel played better. teo's resume including that heart warming sotry was a fan thing, voters didn't factor it in because it was relavent to the heisman case. thats why i dont get why his girlfriend being fake is such a big deal

Contradictory sentences; if he was one of the better Offensive Players were what I am saying; I am not saying as a defensive player anyone would win no matter what they do. Remember less than 5-defensive players all time have won.

teo's resume including that heart warming sotry was a fan thing, voters didn't factor it in because it was relavent to the heisman case. thats why i dont get why his girlfriend being fake is such a big deal

And the proof of that is??? ZERO, because there are none, yet you claim all that as if him finishing 2nd in The Heisman Trophy race is proof.

By the way, if I used The USA English Language the way you did in the post, people would be complaining they cannot understand it. I understood it myself and I not one to complain about it, but spellchecker would have been nice.
