Yup, times have changed since those days of LA Tribune.

The most interesting part to me:

"In light of ESPN’s report that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo admitted to the hoax and that Te’o was not involved in it, does the (80 percent) quote in the Deadspin story accomplish anything other than leading the reader to believe that Te’o was somehow involved?

A: This is a concern troll’s complaint. It’s moronic. That’s a quote from a source who knew both the hoax and hoaxer better than anyone we’d spoken with. It contains its own grain of salt."

Overall, it's a fun read, as this rookie from the ISJC tries to badger Craggs and gets his hat handed to him.
