I made this post a few posts up ^

All I am saying is that based on my knowledge of the people in his hometown (which is a short drive from my house) I believe he could just be a naive guy that was duped. And then he was too far in to admit he was duped so he lied. This is a perfectly legitimate argument.

I have gone into more detail in this thread, but I am not going to continually repeat myself. There is nothing outlandish about my opinion. It is just an opinion that you don't agree with but can't refute.

Calling you Syphilis was a joke play on your username.

I have been asking people to refute my points since this afternoon, and all I've gotten is childishness. It's time for one of you to step up and make a point. Tell me why I'm wrong. Use facts. Until then I'm done.

I already said, its not an issue of them being impossible. It's an issue of them being implausible.

As for "using facts" you're speculating just as much as everyone else. The difference being that your speculation requires the suspension of logic and common sense.

I have only mentioned your living in this thread, and only to demonstrate a point - that people online take you at your word that you live in Hollywood so it isn't a stretch that someone could take what someone claims about themselves online as true. Too bad it went right over your head.

I live where I live. I've provided several pictures of my home, going back as far as 2004 and a few forum members have been to my home. There's nothing omnious or "fake" about where I live.

Your attempt at comparing me, a 47 year old father of two and husband, to a 22 year old at Notre Dame, is a complete and utter failure.

And FWIW, nothing you've stated has "gone over my head".

What's with this "narrow view" bullshit?

You're the only person in this forum that's been to Hawaii? Traveled the world? That lives in an international city?

WTF?

In 1993, O.J. Simpson lived a very short drive from my apartment, approximately 5 miles (which is closer than you claim to live from Te'o's family).

I knew absolutely nothing about him.

I'm not sure why you believe that distance to his hometown is relative.

No it doesn't. It is perfectly reasonable. It just isn't your opinion, so you attack.

I have explained it. The culture here is very important. It is not LA, it is a small town where everyone knows everyone. A world of difference.

For what it is worth, it seems like his hometown agrees with me.

Oh, was it? And I was being completely serious when I said invisible people are accepted in Hawaii. It's well known they are accepted in all 50 states, especially when the media doesn't fact check anything.

This a 1000x!!!!. It doesn't take a detective/lawyer with hard common sense questioning to figure this one out.

We will soon learn he is a "Rear Admiral" is my prediction waaaay back in this thread. Everything points to this IMHO. Manti's lover wants him to come out of the closet or old fashioned journalism kept chasing the story and .........

YOUR projection? Every homophobic asswipe on the internet made that suggestion.

Try again.

Businesses looking for attention know how to get it these days: tie to Manti Te'o, the Notre Dame linebacker in the midst of a fake girlfriend scandal.

On Thursday morning, Spirit Airlines posted an ad on its website proclaiming: "No hoax. These fares are really low," written in Notre Dame's blue and yellow just like its famous "Play Like A Champion Today" sign.


Late Thursday evening, an independent baseball team, the Florence Freedom in Florence, Ky., announced it would have "Manti Te'o Girlfriend Bobblehead Day."

As part of the promotion in late May, the first 1,000 fans will get an empty bobblehead box, there will be a pretend kiss cam for fans to kiss their imaginary friends and there will be an imaginary food fight in the kids' area, as well as an air guitar contest.

"There's not a lot to do to get attention in January," said the team's general manager Josh Anderson. "You have to find some way to get the buzz."

Anderson says things might die down by May 23, the day of the promotion, but the team is committed to it nonetheless.

Is it too edgy and too soon?

"I don't know who we'd be offending," said Anderson, who said he met his wife online. "It would just be isolated to the guy who made his season based off this story."

Giving away a box of nothing has long been a minor league trick. The last team to famously do this? The Peoria Chiefs, the Chicago Cubs Single-A affiliate, who in 2011 after the Miami Heat lost to the Mavericks, gave out LeBron James championship rings.

The Florence Freedom hope enough real people come to the promotion. The team drew roughly 2,000 fans a game in its 3,100-seat ballpark last season.

On Wednesday, Deadspin.com broke the story that Te'o's girlfriend, who he had said died of Leukemia, was not a real person. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Te'o, who has yet to speak, was a victim of an online hoax.

Lighten up.

Maybe it's just me. I think that's the most absurd possibility of them all.

If the dude's gay he can take out random chicks on campus to throw people off the trail. It's not that hard.

I don't believe for one second he hatches a ruse this elaborate to cover something like that up.

I said it earlier: I've never been in the presence of a homosexual man and NOT known he was homosexual.

If he's gay (NTTATWWT), it would be a bigger secret than the hoax. IMO, it would be next to impossible to hide the fact that a Notre Dame Heisman finalist was gay.

Someone, somewhere, along the way, would have spilled the beans.
