SB Champion Coach Jim Harbaugh reacts to Manti Te'o's 40 yard dash at the NFL combine

SB Champion Coach Jim Harbaugh reacts to Manti Te’o’s 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. Same reaction most football fans had to Te’o in the BCS chamionship game.

Te’o insists he’s faster than a 4.8 forty yard dash. He may really believed it just like he believed in a girlfriend he never saw. In reality, he probably is pretty slow in top speed, but as the combine showed he has pretty good explosion and agility making him an average to below average NFL athlete. But after watching him disappear against Alabama (aka a bunch of pro-bound players) and then come into the combine slower than expected: We don’t believe you. You need more people.

McKayla Maroney impressed?

Apparently ABCNews.go.com’s intelligent, state of the art, news finding engine thinks I want to read about Prince Harry in Vegas (should anyone care but the Queen?), Robin Roberts (love her, but her illness is not world news) and someone I never heard of talking to Katie Couric on her new Oprah Katie in your coffee clatch 2.0 show.

Really, the go.com network always has been a marketing platform, ill suited to delivering news.
