I wonder what kind of quotes would have come out if he had a great game and ND won? Oh what could have been...


I was pulling for ND purely for hatred against Bama.

I'm suddenly now extremely pissed Bama won, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my hatred for them.

The Te'o story reminded me immediately of Esera Tuaolo...

quote:

My parents raised me in an Assembly of God Pentecostal Church. The preacher called homosexuals a "curse." At night, I would lie awake, terrified that God was going to cast me into the lake of fire.


quote:

I hung a picture of a girl from home in my room and told people she was my girlfriend. That was my excuse for not dating women, but it wore out.

The world's largest egg is on the media's face now IMO. Again. How could none of these high-profile organizations (ESPN, CBS, SI, NYT, LAT, SBT, etc.) fail to simply confirm the story?

We need my main man Scott Pelley to barge into Manti's house and interview him.

That dude blows people up in interviews on 60 Minutes.

He was on the national stage at that point and people were starting to wonder who she really was. He knew if they dug that they would find out she was fake. Killing her was his best option plus it was more pub for him.

Manti won't go in the same building as Rome for the rest of his life. Rome is probably fuming. That might turn into the 2nd fight of Rome's broadcast journalism career.

Rome's a prick, but he needs to roast the shite out of manti

Why should they have to confirm the existence of a person? Why would they have any reason not to believe him? Also, they cited the South Bend Tribune. Now, the SBT is just some shitty college town paper that probably sucks, other more professional publications will pick up their stuff and take it as accurate because it is an actual journalistic publication.

I agree that it was probably a poor decision to kill her off. "Breaking up" with her would have been better. But I don't think we're talking about a fully rational guy. Applying our sense of rationality to his actions in the moment isn't exactly fair.

Do you think he had her die on the same day as his grandmother in hopes they would blend together in the public's mind and people would forget about the fake girlfriend's death?

I could see a moron thinking that would work.

I want to have he and his dad explain this quote:
quote:

Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there

That was on October 13, 2012.

Verlander, I understand you're the worst poster on this site, but come on.

His TFL and TT were hilariously average and they played a pansy schedule. 5 of his 7 INTs a deaf, dumb, and blind kid would've made.


Its almost impossible to have a lot of tackles playing for a top defense(he lead the #1 scoring D in tackles). At least 4 of his ints were diving catches. If you think anything about his season was average then you didn't watch.

The Michigan State game was game 3. We didn't hear anything about his GF before that or much about Teo in terms of performance. Why kill her off that week?
