"Florence Freedom ball club to have Manti Te'o girlfriend bobblehead day": LINK
quote:

As part of the promotion in late May, the first 1,000 fans would 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.

I haven't been to many funerals but that doesn't seem right at all. That means they would go to the thing before being buried at like 7AM.


7 AM funerals are not something that happens everyday.

Wasn't it conveniently "scheduled" on a game day?


Yeah and she "told"him not to miss a game. But wouldn't you want to visit the grave of the love of your life on a bye week or when the season ended?

Initially perhaps.

But the whole media blitz after her death....I don't buy that he wasn't aware. Especially with that whole SI transcript.


I agree he was at VERY LEAST extremely suspicious. Don't buy that he was doing it for attention anymore, the Ronniah guy had Manti's head spinning a million miles an hour and Manti telling the truth wasn't even an option for him.

You cannot underestimate the lengths a sick frick will go.

Yes, and why the frick is no one talking about Ronaiah introducing Lennay to the fricking NFL player? That's a damn flashing sign he's working a scam.

That's a much bigger indicator than all of this ridiculous hypothetical gay talk

Motherfricking this

He said himself that he didn't find out it was a hoax until Dec 6th. so one would assume that he would have been grieving the loss over the love of his life up until then. So why not visit the grave on Sept 29 when they had a bye, or on Nov 25th after their season ended.

No link I am just starting to believe how crazy, calculated and sick the scam guy was.

But you can't imagine that Teo could be crazy, calculated and sick?

Those kind of details are ones we'll only get when Te'o talks IMO

He might have been misdirected or discouraged by Tuiasospop via Lennay's "family". Teo's was in contact with her fake brother "Koa" and the little girl in the picture with Tuiasosopo.

He will have good answers for this. That's why he hasn't said anything yet. His team of reps are going over every excruciating detail before they let him speak to the public.

The SI story is extremely damaging to his story that he found out December 6th.

Manti doesn't benefit from any of this. Its also impossible to spend thousands of hours around a team without anyone finding out that you are sick.

A few Heisman voters say otherwise.

He doesn't now, obviously. He sure captured the hearts of America after his 6 hours of death. No one would have made a big deal if it was just his grandmother.

Again, if you want to look past the stuff about meeting at the Stanford game, or the meetings in Hawaii, fine. But the simple fact that the most popular linebacker in the country was head over heels for a chick he never met face to face is simply unbelievable.

It will be hilarious if he launches into some sob story about how he felt compelled to lie for whatever reason in an effort at garnering sympathy.
