An Urban Meyer PR piece; no scandals here!
One of the worst, most abrupt endings to an otherwise excellent documentary.
Manti Teo's story was was excellent, but the directors didn't put the wrapping paper on an otherwise excellent documentary.
1) Naya is not held accountable whatsoever. She has no remorse and the producers never pressured her to see if she understood the gravity of the situation or what she did. A huge miss. She gets off easy.
2) The media is let off easy as well. They ruined this guys life, take none of the blame for not fact checking anything and get off scot free.
3) Where the hell is the video package at the end showing Manti Teo having some success in the NFL or talking about how he's married with a child. It just ends with him crying and cutting to an ad. Absurd!
