I don't even like the guy. I'm just using common sense.

No. You are not.

What about Tebow? Do you think it is believable he is a virgin because of his religious beliefs, but not Te'o? If so, why the different standard?

Yes, I am. You haven't refuted my points, you have just insulted me.

The newer web of lies from last night is already beginning to collapse for both Te'o and Notre Dame. Thamel just posted the entire transcript of his interview with him (full of absolute bullshit coming from the mouth of Te'o himself).

And there's this: http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/...sentation.html

"Catfish" directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost joined HuffPost Live host Alicia Menendez via webcam Thursday to discuss whether the Manti Te'o hoax was indeed a "catfish." Both Schulman and Joost were not surprised by the idea that Te'o could have been fooled by an online girlfriend.

"It's totally plausible to us having seen lots of these stories," Joost told HuffPost Live, "that this is something that he could get roped into and believe in."

"People have a remarkable ability to deceive themselves when they really want to believe something's true," he continued.

Schulman told Alicia that his gut tells him Te'o isn't in on the hoax, saying the linebacker is probably "a naive open-hearted guy who really fell for this girl."

Because it's been reported that his teammates were well aware that he was banging other chicks on campus.

Good to know that we have these two experts on the case. They certainly couldn't be attention seeking here at all.

I'm sure there is a perfectly reaonable explanation/ Splatass

Watch their material and tell me it's real... The feeling that you feel

Could you please post a link to this report, since I have missed it?

I've never seen it, and probably won't. Not my cup of tea.

No, you're not.

What's the first thing I do when meeting someone new, whether it's a business acquaintance, my child's classmates parents, new co-worker, boss or even neighbor?

Check them out online.

Hell, I check out people on eBay from whom I'm either buying or selling. I check out parents, potential clients, etc. All it takes is a few clicks to find out if someone is legitimate or a phony.

In the past, when I've hired nannies or housekeepers, I'll pay $45 dollars for a full background check.

EVERYONE'S life revolves around the internet. We've had people on Chiefsplanet OUT people, for ****'s sake, for nothing more than being a true douchebag.

Yet a student at Notre Dame who just happens to be a star athlete can't do the same?

Sorry, I'm not buying it for one single second.

Ive actually given several perfectly reasonable explanations on this thread. You have not. So get started. If my points are not reasonable you should be able to refute them, not just sling mud, right?
