I guess this will get old eventually...but not yet.  NPR made the Manti thing a feature on its Saturday morning news show, with ESPN's Howard Bryant stating that he doesn't believe Manti's story for a minute...it just doesn't add up.  An attention grab that reflects our celebrity culture.  Then,  NPR's  This American Life  played a whole show on faking it,  featuring stories of  guys who apparently bought into their own hoax,  knew they were hoaxing  and one who did it out of a kind of morbid fascination in where it was going.
