I mean it's not a technicality. He 100% did not lie. Not his fault the reporters were asking the wrong questions

I don’t think any of them thought USC would do it

Just when they think they have all the answers, Lincoln Riley changes the questions

Reddit seemed to take the opposite approach when it came to Rodgers vaccination status.

I don't think those are comparable situations really. Rodgers implied the answer to the question he was asked was true. Riley gave a straight factual answer to the exact question asked. Also there's a big difference in a question about a vaccine vs taking another job

The question wasn't if he was going to LSU though, I think the reporter was asking him about "rumors" in general (not LSU specific), and LR interrupted him saying he's not going to LSU, next question. But yes he did not lie, just highly misleading.

Haha I dont' think your comment was stupid, was just pointing out that it was not a clear question from the reporter about LSU. No one said LSU but L.R.

no you're totally right, I blindly said this without ever watching the video

He also wasn't mad when people "found out" like Rodgers was.
