How do you know this? Are you familiar with CA law? I bet this is a chargeable crime.

He's lawyered up with an agent to try not to frick up his draft status any more, not because of any criminal shite.

So I was watching a little bit of sportscenter and a family member of someone that had been fooled by Tuiasosopo before tried to reach out to Te'o on twitter but he blocked her. Yeah sounds like a victim to me

Victims absolutely lawyer up so as not to cloud any investigation. You're really talking out of your arse.

Note - I don't think Teo is blameless here but the presence of a lawyer says nothing either way.

Which? The wire fraud? That's federal. I'm not sure how this guy would be charged for the pictures. The girl sent him the picture. He didn't hack into her computer and steal it or anything.

The dumbest part of saying it affected him in the BCS is that a normal, sane person wouldn't use that excuse for a response to even the simplest question

When a player is asked 'did x,y,x affect you' normally it's 'no, we just didn't play our best' or '(insert team) was just better than us'

Must be lying if he went out of his way to use that as an excuse.

He had to have said that so later on down the road he can say he kept the lies up so he wouldn't distract his team

How could it be a chargeable crime when she gave permission to the hoaxer for her photos to be used?

On ESPN Te'o interview: We had no parameters on questions. While no tv cameras were permitted and use of audio was limited, we can use anything from the interview across our outlets.

As of right now…there is no investigation. There won't be any investigation because no crime has been committed. At the very worst, Te'o got catfished and that's not illegal.

I'm really not. There isn't an ongoing criminal investigation. The lawyer looks bad no matter how you dice it. And for the last fricking time, these are Mike Florio's words I quoted. I'm not saying anything other than it looks bad which it does to any person with reasonable capacity.

I can't believe he actually said that this hoax affected his performance in the NCG.

Righhhtt. So your not devastated when your grandmother and love of your life die within 6 hours of each other 2 days before a game but finding out you were punked a month before championship game sends you into a downward spiral. This guy can't even lie when he has time to prepare.

What good would Teo be anyway if there was one? If indeed he is a victim, he's the dumbest vertebrate on the planet.

Te'o is hoping this game goes to like 10 OTs so the story finally runs at 4 a.m.
