…Well, now we know what Stephen Glass is up to; his explanations have, however, become less plausible.
…Chait: “The story is utterly shocking, unless you’re familiar with the history of the mythology of Notre Dame football.”
(Erik:) Dave Zirin: “The only conclusion one can draw is that he was either the victim of an insanely elaborate grift whose ingenuity would humble David Mamet, or something stinks in South Bend.”
