re: How did this go under the radar? BYU qb Bear Bachmeier and family eats dinner naked

RG3 being the sensationalist that he is exaggerated the story during the broadcast to go from just Bear being shirtless to the whole family eating without their clothes.

Uhhh... if that's true, it's a bit more than an exaggeration

Shocked they don't at least have their magic underwear on when eating
Those zany mormons love their magic undies

Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration because RG3 really did tell the actual story before this clip and then they started going off the rails. And then people omitted the part before the clip in the tweet.

The full broadcast is on youtube



Go to the 2:11:30 mark and you'll hear the story where originally he says he's just eating with his shirt off and his dad calls him fat which motivated him to lose weight in the offseason.

And then it became "they take their clothes off and walk around naked!" because RG3 is a sensationalist and the game was in garbage time so they were just trying to fill air time. To his credit though when the story started becoming viral he said the whole thing was taken out of context and blown out of proportion

This was all a month ago and had blown over until recently because Bear had a great game in the ND upset so it's popping up again. But yeah, a few things I found out when that was firs going viral:

- The eating dinner naked thing isn't true
- Their real names aren't Bear and Tiger, it's Michael and James, they're just nicknames like many families that pass on a first name through generations tend to have once they get to III and IV, etc
- They're Catholic, not Mormon

So when Lanning visited his home, did he have to get naked also?

If the recruit is good enough, you'll do anything to get that commit.

I mean...both parents are if this is truly the case. It's not just the male here
