Not at all.

I realize you are a very biased fan and can't open your mind enough to believe it, but it is not a reach to think that Te'o could be gay and this fake woman was his beard.

and the guy from the movie said someone contacted him a month or so ago about all this-a bid by the girl whose f/b photos were used to get a tv show spot perhaps?
no, that's silly...no one would perpetrate a hoax for publicity and a tv show.

All I know is thanks to this damn scandal I've got an earworm of "She's Not There."

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

If the Zombies had only managed to work in white roses and all-night telephone calls, they'd be hailed as prophets.

No, what is dumb is creating a fake girlfriend when you are a popular nationally exposed football player.

I would also say people who believe that he wasnt in on the hoax are also dumb. Or at least incredibly stupid. I bet you believed Lance Armstrong also when he said he didnt cheat.

i know i sure believed him... no, wait. i never paid attention, cause it was cycling. yeah, the feeling wasn't belief, but apathy!


what is truly dumb is someone not only creating a fake g/f, but perpetuating the story and adding in tragic circumstances...and a death to boot. the dumbest part? thinking no one would ever catch on.

if a fake girlfriend dies, and no one goes to the funeral, is she still dead?

I honestly think this scenario is quite plausible, and if it isn't Te'o brought it on himself. The facts remain that a NFL locker room may in fact be about the least tolerable place in the world for a gay man. A fairly high 1st round draft pick I think it is safe to say may not want to be an openly gay man in the NFL or society. The fake, then dead girlfriend could be his beard for his entire NFL career in his mind as to never having to have interest in any other women as none would measure up to his "dead" love of his life. It makes more sense than seeking Heisman votes I think. You've got religion involved....a Mormon kid at a Catholic university. Lots of it makes sense...I'm buying Antitrust's rumor as well and sticking to it, I think it makes the most sense.

i can understand the faking of a g/f in that situation (my daughter was a friends 'date' at his folks holiday dinner before)...but making up car wrecks, life-threatening injuries, cancer, etc...that just seems to be taking things waaaaaay too far.
when was the car wreck supposedly? was that last years' heisman-vote getting effort?

Mistakes were made!!!!!

We've pretty much gotten to the point where real life is more comedic than the Onion. We are now to the point where we don't need the Onion. We simply have real life.

I buy antitrusts take on the situation, that's all I'm saying. Since Te'O's the only one who really knows what went on, he needs to come clean, until then it's all about the rumours!!

lol

i'm all for comedic real life. one thing that got me was when i read that teo's dad 'adds color to stories'. in other words, he likes to make up stuff...i guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
and i agree with the sportswriter who said the longer teo stays mum, the worse it looks.
i said yesterday that anti's thought is plausible-but when one adds in all the added drama and accompanying attention from si and others, well it makes the motive that much more interesting. maybe multiple motives? maybe they decided to embellish once they got started? dunno. hell, the sky's the limit when one is inventing a person and story. nice touch, killing her off the same day as granny. that's a good sense of timing and adding to the tragicomedy of events.

and i guess everyone has seen the new meme, replacing tebowing and eastwooding? now it's teoing. various pictures of you with your made up g/f.

Take off the fanboy goggles for a second and think about how you would react if this were another player on another team.

You don't think it's a little odd he had a girlfriend for YEARS that he never met? They never spoke via Skype, webcam, etc. Nothing?

Thats a lot of "sock work"
