As debate raged at ESPN, Te’o story slipped away

Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o paused during an interview with ESPN's Jeremy Schaap, right, on Friday in Bradenton, Fla. ESPN says Te'o maintains he was never involved in creating the dead girlfriend hoax. He said in the off-camera interview: "When they hear the facts they'll know. They'll know there is no way I could be a part of this."
