Ray Lewis denies knowledge of the situation.

We should start writing articles about the investigation and his murder trial. I bet he killed her in the library with a lead pipe.

:)

Hype campaign for Heisman and future endorsements? Bizarre.

So lets play the "he's a victim" angle.

He says he talked to her on the phone. Who was he talking to?

Dude is probably gay. If so this becomes a sad story about society.

Seth Meyers ‏@sethmeyers21
These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.
ROFL

His "character" was a major selling point for the people who liked him. He drops a lot.

You sure ESPN didn't break this story first???

Manti Taaaaay'o.

More than that:

So he got hoaxed by his dad?

"Hey, Manti, remember when your girlfriend spent a week here at home?"

"Uh, no, Dad."

"Sure you do! Think hard!"

"Um ... OK, I guess."

After her death he drove to the Vatican brandishing a pistol and asked to talk to the Pope and Brian Kelly.

The nice thing is that we won't mind, because he'll be replacing a guy who murdered his real girlfriend.

Andy Reid: "He lied about an imaginary girlfriend? Pffft. That's a HUGE step up for us at the inside linebacker position."

I was just starting with the phone call aspect. It's obvious that he's lying.

In an unusual way ... yes.

So he goes from a straight manipulative liar who mislead the media for years to a gay manipulative liar who mislead the media for years. Can't say it makes much of a difference to me.

Manti Gay'o

So he DIDN'T meet her?

Or he met some woman who wasn't who she said she was? And the hoaxer later "killed off" the creation?

W. T. F. ?

Somewhere, his agent is crying.

not that easy ... Brendan start getting grief of not having dates/GF's in 7th grade.

If you don't have a girl for long enough the people around you will start wondering if you're gay.

"a beard" was invented for a reason


Now a 'dead beard' is something new, but hey .... :D

i have always been Anti T'eo.

He doesn't exist either.

ROFL

Yeah, couldn't you find a ND girl to "date"? Nobody has to know if you're sleeping with her.


Inventing a beard and then very publicly killing her off ... that seems way, way, way more complicated than it has to be.

The sad part would be the reason he needed to lie in the first place.

Congrats on cherry picking a post. Why don't you post the rest of what I said. I was talking about his draft position.

The events of today obviously change my views on him.

Go **** yourself.

I dunno, man. I work with a couple of ND grads, and if they're any indication, I'd make one up too.

Catfish II: Electric Boogaloo

True ... why could he just use the I'm staying a virgin until i'm married for religious reasons. It would fit right in at Notre Dame and then he could just occasionally go out with a "friend" that's a girl and not worry about it.

Maybe the girls still insisted on kissing him and all that ewwwwy stuff. :D


I don't know ... maybe he's not gay and just enjoyed all the attention and sympathy he got. :shrug:

He didn't need to lie at all in this manner no matter what his sexual orientation is. Making up a fake dead girlfriend is deceit on an outrageous level, designed seemingly to raise his profile and improve his "story."

And not that the insinuation you're making about Kansas citizens isn't a load of shit in itself, but I'm from Toronto, Canada, dipshit.

I was thinking this earlier. The Catfish guys are somewhere masturbating to this news, I'm sure.

If they aren't "out" they can get pretty paranoid about it.

I had a friend once that everyone thought was gay ... every friend he had almost knew he was gay but he was always pretending otherwise. We didn't care so we just let it go. But he did some pretty silly shit just to make it seem like he was straight.

I'll take the last part out. my bad.

NFC Scout on Manti Te'o: "We likely will just cross him off our big board altogether."

LMAO

wtf?

LMAO

Sweet. Now he can fall to us in the third.

At this point I'm fully expecting Katherine Webb to be a hologram.

We can probably get him in the 6th or 7th if we wanted him now.

Dang. What a piece of shit this guy is.

.

Sandusky is now hoping to convince America that all of those boys were made up, too.

The good news for Te'o is that when (if) he finally gets on to an NFL field, that he will never have to hear about this stuff ever again.

or he could of just ya know, not made of the story in the first place, then he never woulda had to hear about it either

Maybe Te'o just wanted to show the chiefs he can fill their "MLB with a dead girlfriend" vacancy.




















































too soon?

(excellent point, but I should point out that my post was pure sarcasm)

Notre Dame...Nosuch Dame?

There are 2 categories he could fall into:
1. Gullible dumbass who falls in love with online people who he never met (and stretches the truth about the meeting)
2. Lying nutjob who was in on it.

To me, there is no smoking gun there in that article that he was in on it. He couldve just stretched the truth about where they first met and telling his parents that they had met while in Hawaii. He could just be that stupid. Saw a clip of Dr. Phil recently. There are people out there who get off on preying on these huge gullible idiots. They have 2-3 year relationships and fall in love with people they have never met. 1 off the 4 people duped by this same person was an acquaintance of theirs (predator turned out to be a girl pretending to be a guy). Hopefully, for his sake, Teo falls into this category of gullible idiot.

Awesome.

Too soon?

That whole regime is gone and the dark clouds have lifted from One Arrowhead Place IMO.

At least our new LB can't kill a make believe GF at team facilities.

Jadeveon Clowny‏@JadeveonClowny

If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son Manti Teo has 99 problems but a girl ain't one.

But he can pretend to.

LMAO

ROFL

Fake fans?

So did Teo and tui make this up for publicity or was this an excuse for the two of them to meet up romantically and it got out of hand?

This dude is ****ed up in the head. Period.
He's a liar, manipulator and mentally Ill.

If he is gay, all he needed was a girl, a hot lesbian who understands the deal with needing to be closeted, to be his "beard". He didn't need to make up a girl and then have her die.

If isn't gay, but made this shit up for attention, hes mentally unstable and then wow.

If he isn't gay, but fell in love wit a picture and some chick online ( or dude without him knowing its a dude), then he's mentally unstable and desperate for love.

No matter how you cut it, the dude is twisted in the head, gay or straight, it doesn't matter. He's ****ed up.

And people are right, ***** would of drafted him 1st.

:shake:

HE'ZZZZ BEIN PERSACUTED CUZ HE IZ A MORMAN

You only need one team to not care. He'll likely fall out of the top 10. This hurts him a lot more than other players because he constructed a narrative as a high character individual and leader. He'll be a pariah for this, especially in a hyper masculine culture like an NFL locker room.

Comparisons to Ray Lewis' personal reclamation are off base, IMO. Lewis is a genuinely terrifying individual with near unmatched intensity and charisma. Te'o isn't that guy.

Maybe an attention-starved shit mongrel like Jerry Jones grabs him for the media attention. With an average combine I bet he slips to round 2, if not lower.

Te'o thought Milli Vanilli was legit.

Q

:harumph:

Raiders will still take him at number 3 ...

Id take him in round 2

ROFL

Eh I think that's a bit of a miss on looking at it from the POV of a gay person. I don't deny that some are self-conscious, but if you don't want people to know you are gay having a "beard" is not really vane. In trying to keep something a secret, doing something to keep questions down is a fairly understandable strategy.

As for this story, its quite insane.

This is incredible. I'm suspending judgment for now and waiting for this to clear up.

Wait, so Teo was victim of a hoax, but didn't think to stop people from reporting on his fake girl friend, who he was also tweeting with.

Got it.

holy shit


i mean.....what?

Him and I have something in common. My girlfriend doesn't exist either.

"Win one for the Gipper"= a fraud.

Te'o= a fraud.

Notre Lame, as exposed by Alabama in the BCS Championship game= a fraud.

Fitting end to Notre Lame's season.

Ray Lewis actually has NFL-caliber talent unlike Te'o. That is another difference.
