Teo isn't a saint.

Nobody said he is. Doesn't change the fact that he was the victim of a crazy, calculated scammer

You'd have to believe that he's borderline retarded for his story to be true.

Read the SI transcript. You are dumber than Teo if you don't think he was involved.



I read it. Of course, he was involved. At some point, he completely lied, misled, and exaggerated his relationship with fake girl. But I think, for a long enough while to be significant, he thought she was real, and I also think he had feelings for this girl he thought was real.

Where this all falls in the timeline, I don't know yet. When I know the answer to this question...

*When did he find out she was fake, if he didn't plot this?*

...then I'll be able to make a more informed decision.

IMO, there's not enough evidence on either side to say anything definitely.

I just happen to believe there are more rational, logical explanations to support the theory that he, at some point, was duped, and he, at some point, lied/embellished how intimate he was with 'Lennay.'

he also lied in many many interviews about his relationship with Lennay, even if he believed she was real (which he didn't ) he still lied about many aspects and so did his dad

Dude what are you talking about? People who aren't related or connected to Ronniah or Te'o have come forward with things that clearly show Ronniah is a psycho path scam artist.


Oh. You mean the football players? Yeah...they're coming out against Tuiasosopo but how does that in anyway vindicate Te'o? No one here is denying Tuiasosopo is a piece of shite. In regards to Te'o, however, the verdict is still out.

So it is "proven" Ronnie is shady due to what a few others have said, but Te'o is only an "alleged" liar using the words that came out of his own mouth?


Right. It has been proven that Teo has lied because he claims to have met her.

That's all you need to know to know he is lying.

He's lied to a lot of people on multiple occasions.

That's a fact.

And another person close to the situation said they were 80% sure Te'o was in on it. Hell Te'o and that dude were friends. He had pictures on his twitter account of them hanging out together.

There's been some indisputable evidence presented that shows that Te'o is lying to an extent.

Mentioning the fake dead girlfriend in the days after Notre Dame claims he found out that it was a hoax (december 6)

It's a fact that Te'o is lying to an extent.

He was either in on it from the get-go or just went with the flow after he found out. Either way he's not a victim

Why couldn't Shelley Smith talk to the guy who supposedly went through the same scam(with no proof give by the way), why did they talk to his cousins? Whole segment seemed like some more BSing Hawaiians who wanted to get on TV and get their named attached to the story.

And we have Teo getting punk'd, finding out before October and continuing the lie for personal gain. And that's the best case scenario.

Its obvious as shite.


Yes Manti lied not out of fear and embarrassment but because Manti so badly wanted to be the Heisman runner up? Makes perfect sense

That claim has no substance to me, for two reasons:

1. It was made anonymously. If you mean it, say it.

2. 80 percent sure? WTF does that mean? What kind of number is 80 percent?
