This is all just a Jim Delany revenge plot.

Dudes eyes are floundering all over. So much BS. Its like the kid in class who doesn't know an answer so he looks Down and says "let me think!"

.........

So to summarize, they know that Manti isn't behind the hoax because it matches the plot of a movie?

[I H8 Memes]

When Te'o said he met her he meant online....according to ND.

There are interviews where he claimed to have met her in person at the BYU game and on other occasions.

"Exclusively online relationship."

GAME OVER MAN.

There it is! Called it!
This kind of statement will be pulled apart with an hour and it will be just another lie.
If you can't prove he said he saw her, there are statments from his family about where they spent time.

Answers leading to more questions. I'm glad no one actually died so that we have just rip the shit out of the whole situation.

So now he hates Polynesian and Blacks? Dude just gets more racist everyday.

silverlight! please die.

 

[789shadow]

He truly goes all in on that, he left no fucking wiggle room for him, why is he tying his career to that story?
This shit is fucking bizarre.

Just lends even more credence to the theory that he's gay.

 

[Trey]

There's no way that describes an online only relationship.

Apparently Te'o lied to his folks about the relationship.

 

[jordan0386]

Even if he is gay. There was no point to any of this.

You can shut keep quiet like all the other gay athletes, who dont come out, are doing.

 

[Enron]

I'm not watching it, but this presser sounds like a trainwreck. Is it a trainwreck?

An ENORMOUS trainwreck.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Just like his girlfriend, this story won't be laid to rest any time soon.

THey can just say "He lied about meeting her." Which, to be fair, is true. In reality,everyone needs to come clean.

Also, Te'o... welcome to the Bengals! We don't care hw crazy or fucked up your past is, we'll take ya if you fall to us.

 

[truly101]

Its been insinuated that Te'o had something to do with the rape of that poor girl that killed herself, then getting exposed in the MNC game, his parents whining to a newspaper making him look like a pussy and now this.

I'll stick with the shmucks that play for Duke.

 

[braves01]

Dr. Phil named drop as an expert lol.

What's funny about that?

 

[goldsoundz]

KEEP DIGGING THAT HOLE

Correction: It was an online and telephonic relationship.

 

[GusBus]

Anderson Coop coming on now...

EDIT: Author is on now

 

[Korey]

So, in the next few days, we get to find out who the real journalists are.

 

[JustProgress]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. He probably just wanted a sob story to help Heisman chances.

 

[StriKeVillain]

This is like something from Arrested Development.

 

[slightconfuse]

This is like a movie plot and insane . Feel for manti a little

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Dan]

So delicious. If he's claiming that it was always an online relationship, that means at least he was lying to family and reporters, or he and his family were lying. Does that make the story better?

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Also, Te'o... welcome to the Bengals! We don't care hw crazy or fucked up your past is, we'll take ya if you fall to us.

As a Bengals fan, I will be somehow disappointed if they don't come out of this draft with both Te'o and Honey Badger now. It seems like destiny.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

What's funny about that?

He was being self-deprecating about mentioning that he watches your show.

They will have to. That's really the point; no amount of doding is going to them him away from this without blame.

 

[el retorno]

That's bullshit that he didn't know CBS aired the story. It was in the Deadspin story

 

[BertramCooper]

This is like something from Arrested Development.

Nope. Brady Bunch.

 

[yankeeforever2]

Who the fuck do they think they are fooling

 

[SolidSnakex]

Apparently Te'o lied to his folks about the relationship.

So, he'd leave the house after telling his family that he was going to meet her? Yeah, there's definitely something much bigger going on here than a simple lie about a girlfriend.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Who the fuck do they think they are fooling

They're going to be so burned by this.

 

[HerbertFish]

Who the fuck do they think they are fooling

Even Swarbrick know he's fooling anyone. His eyes are saying "Guys, this is a massive clusterfuck. Throw me a bone."

 

[Cyan]

Who the fuck do they think they are fooling

Their fans, at least.

 

[lush]

The panera iced tea really makes the press conference.

 

[HiiiLife]

All them L's.

 

[el retorno]

The panera iced tea really makes the press conference.

it does. lol

 

[alr1ght]

Did he just say they tried to restart the relationship after he learned she didn't "die"? I hope I'm hearing things.

 

[jjasper]

Anderson Cooper doesn't believe him.

 

[Korey]

Why aren't the reporters pushing more about the possibility of Manti being behind it? Or things like the Ronaiah Tuiasosopo connection? Unless I missed it.

 

[Wallach]

Their fans, at least.

They were going to fool themselves anyway. They're just destroying any chance for people to be empathetic to whatever the truth of this horseshit turns out to actually be. What a clown show.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

It's a shame that this story has already received more coverage than the sexual assault-suicide that involved a current Notre Dame player by several magnitudes.

 

[GitarooMan]

Anderson making a good point. Why would Teo never say in all these interviews that it was online only and he never met her before she died?

 

[el retorno]

Are the PI's he's refering to the Catfish people? It talks about them being contacted in the deadspin article

 

[cdyhybrid]

Even if he is gay. There was no point to any of this.

He may have made it up to get people off his back, so to speak, and had it blow up beyond what he ever expected.
