A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Lies & Lying Liars
I don't consider myself a naive person; certainly not on the level of Manti Te'o. But there have been times where I've wanted to believe whatever some of these athletes are selling--Pete Rose and the gambling deal and Lance Armstrong and the blood doping.
I mean, come on, the guy never failed a drug test. Oops! I guess I should've listened when guys like Greg LeMond said there was no way that an average cyclist could beat cancer, and then have the most dominant stretch in an insanely grueling test of physicality. I guess I should've listened when papers like The Guardian and Le Monde had their doubts. I doubted Barry Bonds and A-Rod; why not this guy.
Leave it to Oprah to get to the bottom of this!
