Ballers: Tumblr is looking for one fan for each school in this year’s NCAA Men’s basketball tourney to chronicle their experience with the Big Dance. Going to the games? Attending insane pep rallies? Flying on the plane with the team? Post about it on our special tournament Tumblr until your team goes home, and earn the admiration, respect and envy of your Tumblrpeers. We’ll pay you a small stipend, give you some Tumblr swag, and maybe even arrange a dinner with Tommy.* To enter, tell us why you should represent your school during the tournament. Send us your pitch and link to your Tumblr via email to NCAABB2013@tumblr.com and we’ll choose the lucky 68 (that’s right, play-in teams too!).Good luck, and may the ball bounce ever in your favor. * Tommy probably won’t have dinner with you (he prefers to eat alone) but we’ll give you the stipend and swag anyway. Ballin’ idea, tumblr!

One thing is for certain, the Manti Te’o statement via SportingNews is real. We think?“This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.“To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone’s sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother’s death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick.“I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I’m looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL draft.” (photo via ESPN) High-res
