Twitter Sports Rundown

More from Colin Means

Ever since he incorrectly predicted the retirement of Peyton Manning, Rob Lowe doesn’t exactly have the best reputation among sports fans on twitter.

Poor Rob Lowe apparently can’t pronounce three letter and five letter words in Te’o and Kekua.

The most confusing thing about the Notre Dame football player-dead girl hoax? All of those complicated names!#unpronounceable

Apparently Timothy Burke didn’t meet his grooming standards, either. Not everyone is as good looking/narcissistic as you, Rob.

Wow this deadspin guy who was just on #CNN needs to get his act together. #NotReadyForTv.

Why isn’t Rob interested? Because this story doesn’t have anything to do with Peyton Manning, of course!

Why am I just not interested in this whole Notre Dame football player-dead girlfriend debacle?

Lowe’s next tweet after the prior three? A mention of Peyton Manning.

Anti-stupid hoax zone tonight on NBC , with the return of #parksandrec. And, Chris Traeger’s Peyton Manning “audible” impression.

Many people have heaped praise onto Deadspin for their story exposing Manti Te’o as a fraud, and rightfully so.

Donald Trump, always one looking for attention, decided to send his congrats to the Deadspin duo that covered the story, only to botch one of the two authors.

Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey are the two authors of the Te’o story, and it should be noted that Dickey is an undergrad student.

Anyway, here is the classic response from Deadspin along with Trump’s original tweet:

@realdonaldtrump Go fuck yourself.

I almost feel badly for the intern who composed that tweet on behalf of Donald Trump.

Deadspin dropped a bomb on the sports world earlier today about one of college football’s most beloved players, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o.

This morning Te’o was a lock to be a first round draft pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but Deadspin’s story could drop him out of the draft completely.

Te’o alleged former girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, who he says died of leukemia, did not exist. Read the full story here.

Here are some of the most interesting tweets from Te’o's official twitter, presented without context.

Don’t say things that you wouldn’t want to be said to you and maybe this world would be a better place!

Learn life’s lessons by watching other learn it themselves. Don’t wait for life to teach you the lesson because you won’t like it by then.

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do! It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t!

— Manti Te’o (@MTeo_5) November 26, 2012

Strength and honor!

— Manti Te’o (@MTeo_5) November 20, 2012

The worst thing you can do is fool yourself!

— Manti Te’o (@MTeo_5) November 21, 2012

The funniest part is I already know I got your attention!

— Manti Te’o (@MTeo_5) November 21, 2012

And the finale:

Don’t let your dreams stay dreams! Make them a reality!
