Under the Dome They Said It photo by bill panzica "We should look up from our Te'o jokes to remember that he is the victim. He didn't create this girl out of whole cloth to advance his career. He trusts people. The dark side of that trust is that Te'o became the ideal mark for catfishing." Ivan Maisel, ESPN.com "I know that he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met in a football uniform, so I believe him when he says he doesn't have anything to do with it. I think he's embarrassed with the fact that he's just that gullible. It's just an unfortunate situation that somebody would try to take advantage of a situation like that and use a guy that has a good heart like him for whatever benefit they got out of that." — Former Notre Dame standout Justin Tuck on Manti Te'o "There are lessons to be learned from all this, but in the end I'm not sure anyone will come out of it better for the experience. The sad takeaway is that we once again must raise our levels of disbelief and distrust. … And the next time we come across a feel-good story, we'll all have to stop and ask ourselves whether we're willing to believe it. That doesn't feel very good." — Pat Forde, Yahoo!
