In all honesty...could Teo be schizophrenic? Hearing his interview is really really sketchy.

I think this helps Tyrann Mathieu's stock. Out of former Heisman finalists with checkered pasts, he doesn't look like the worst candidate anymore.

Basically Te'o is now saying that he never actually met her in person and was embarrassed about that so he made up the story of meeting her


So it basically fits scenario 3 in what I posted a while ago.

He is a sheltered Mormon. I'd buy it, but I honestly don't believe it.

quote:

1-He is gay and this was a cover that he ran with that also assisted in getting publicity

2-The whole thing was a publicity stunt (the worst option)

3-He really did get catfished. I know he said they met and talked on the phone, but he honestly could have lied about that, so he didn't look like a crazy mofo. He was embarrassed that he had a "gf" he never met.

I think Teo knew about this a long while ago, it started getting out of control, his friends were being contacted, etc. and he felt he had to keep the lie up.

Even where he had to go along with her death.


He may have gotten duped, but he had to know a long while ago.



In all seriousness, occam's razor should tell you to quit making all the assumptions in the world to form a hypothesis and go with the simplest, it is likely going to be the correct one. In this case, he was not duped; he was a participant in the ruse. It is the only thing that makes sense.

he never looked up who owned the number? quote: I think he lied about them to cover up the fact that he'd been punked. so when did he find out he was punked? he couldn't have found out she died without talking to her "family," b/c there wasn't an actual funeral



I am just getting wind of this whole thing. Can someone help me understand? Did Te'o participate in the hoax from the get-go? Or was the mongoloid just so fricking naive that he went along with it and didn't have the guts to stop ND from making the death story a big deal? What is the level of his involvement?

i don't see how a team drafts him

how would T'eo ever be respected in a locker room?


I think they'll be more concerned when he runs a 5.0 forty at the combine.

he was told that 3 is the best option but im betting its some combo of 1 and 2. he will lie and hope espn leaves it alone and his nd fan boys will lap it up.

Surely he wouldn't have known how much that story would blow up.

So why make it up?

So he's too dumb to know that the story would blow up but just dumb enough to be duped by people trolling him on the internet?

Seems like people just want him to be telling the truth so they have to justify him only being extremely stupid in some instances and not in others. How convenient

Yeah, you fixed it if you ignore the part about the joke, the Heisman finalist, and the checkered past.

Still have no idea why ESPN keeps using the innocent until proven guilty

Seems like Te'o has trolled even more people just now with his statement that he was "duped"

Hope that poor bastard rots in fricking hell with Lance Armstrong
