Manti Te'o Picked An Odd Time To Conduct His First Interview Since Scandal Broke

ESPN

Manti Te'o Is currently being interviewed by ESPN's Jeremy Schaap (via Josh Krulewitz of ESPN).The interview is being conducted off-camera and details will be aired later this evening on ESPN.

[UPDATE: Read about the interview here.]

There were reports that Te'o would sit down with Schaap on Thursday. However, that interview was eventually called off.

It is interesting that the interview is both off-camera and late on a Friday night of a holiday weekend. If Te'o wanted to get his story out, this is the absolute worst way to do it. By Tuesday, this story will be stale.
