There was no reason for Manti Te'o to let anyone outside his inner circle in, but he did Saturday back at Notre Dame, and it was pretty awesome
Not quite, but, the opportunity to talk with someone who should have nothing to say to anyone outside his inner circle was amazing. The hollow look on his face, the look Te’o carried for so many of the weeks and months and even years that followed the Deadspin story, that was long gone.
All of what happened off the field during Te’o’s senior season? There wasn’t enough time to dive deeply into that, at least not Saturday. Go read the stories. Go watch the two-episodeEven before the documentary was pitched — and it needed Te’o’s participation to mean anything — he insisted Saturday he already was at peace with his life. What had happened in his senior year, when finished runner-up for the Heisman Trophy and won a truckload of individual awards. What happened off the field.
One place Te’o really wanted to go at least, one more time was down the stairs from the Irish locker room, out the tunnel and onto the playing surface. Just once more. Maybe race around in space and make tackles, like he did against Nevada in his first collegiate game when people first learned about this Te’o kid in the No. 5 jersey. When the game slowed down and he realized — even against an overmatched opponent — that he could be without peer on the football field. Just one more snap.
