ABC News is beginning to release bits of Katie Couric's conversation with Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o, and the first highlight the network is spotlighting is this:

"Manti Te'o briefly lied to the media and the public after discovering his online girlfriend did not exist ... he admitted in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Katie Couric."

The big "get" goes to Katie Couric.

While Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o has spoken to ESPN — and said he did not participate in the hoax about a "dead" girlfriend who turned out to be neither real nor dead — that wasn't on camera or recorded.

It's been a scandalous week in the world of sports. Between Lance Armstrong's big Oprah interview and the discovery of Manti Te'o's unreal girlfriend, there are a lot of questions for people who report on sports .Host Rachel Martin talks with NPR's Mike Pesca about the events.
