Guess who's gonna come out of this whole mess completely unscathed?
Ryan Seacrest. Nothing bad ever happens to that guy.

The non-existent girlfriend?
Mosi Tatupu?
Super Fly Jimmy Snuka?

Ronaiah Tuiasosopo made a few Youtube videos with a guy named Conan Amituanai who played for the University of Arizona and was in camp with the Vikings.
Here is one:

They both have other stuff on there. I'm starting to see it as possible that there was a small network of people doing this to Te'o.

Is someone willing to give me 10-1 odds on Superfly Jimmy Snuka being mentioned in all of this eventually?

This theory is original beard theory. We've moved on to Twitter Subordinate Satellite Necro-Beard Theory.
Necro-Beard was an expansion of original beard theory wherein a man might seek to hide his homosexual identity by engaging in a relationship with a woman (ie: marrying Nicole Kidman). Twitter Necro-Beard theory evolved from this concept but supposed that a man may engage in a relationship with a fictional woman existing only as an online profile, thus giving the impression of a real long distance relationship. If a man were to carry on the Twitter-Beard relationship too long without meeting in person, it would arouse suspicion. Necro-Beard involves the untimely demise of this fictional woman, giving the closeted man a long grieving window and an excuse not to pursue other women indefinitely.
We've now moved on to include the possibility of many satellite beards, both fictional and breathing. According to teammates, Manti was seeing one or more girls on ND's campus. These satellite beards may exist but in a subordinate nature to the primary twitter beard, thus giving the impression of an adulterous heterosexual male.
We cannot, however, rule out the possibility of Surreptitious Twitter Necro-Beard or Surreptitious Twitter Subordinate Satellite Necro-Beard theories, where Manti is the victim of a hoax but still used the online relationship, possibly in unison with other beards, to his advantage to avoid suspicion. In other words, Manti may have had no knowledge that his beard was fake.
Wait a minute. Keith Urban is gay?

I don't get it.
Mr. Snuffleupagus was an elephant which means he had a big nose which means he was a liar like Pinnochio. Te'o's gf was also a liar. Bill Clinton should have just said that he is Mati's favorite president since Clinton was known for lying, especially about women.

So much for him having all the intangibles.
He still has some of them though.

I've been told by two people that ESPN's Jeremy Schaap will conduct the Manti Te'o interview. Jeremy is an excellent reporter.
He's got a long way to go before he compares to his father.

This is Te'o's problem. No matter if he was duped or not the whole media blitz surrounding him since the Michigan State is an issue.
ESPN discussed the Bills in their coverage this morning and how Kiper has them picking Te'o. There is an article about Te'o and the Bills draft linked from the Buffalo News on the main page. I haven't read it yet so I'm not sure what is in there. I am afraid to read it. Polamalu may be involved and has connections with Whaley. And from the article you linked.....
Where does that leave us? Well, waiting for Manti Te’o and his representation to circle the wagons and provide more than a released written statement, I suppose.Smoke....meet fire.

If the Bills ever drafted the player that the majority of mock drafts pegged for them you'd have typed this masterful pretzel logic wearing a Haloti Ngata or Brian Orakpo jersey.
What you said there actually makes me more worried. You're right that the Bills were interested in Ngata and Orakpo. This was reported in many mock drafts. But it is also known that the last regime placed high importance on character. Both Ngata and Orakpo had character questions. Both turned out to be false alarms but at least the Bills stuck to principle. Is this new group not even investigating character at all?
As the story develops it seems plausible that Te'o could have been duped or that he was in on it. Either way those are not traits you want for a team leader. If he was duped by a fake girl and some dude I feel bad for him but it sure will be easy for Tom Brady to fool him on Sunday. No thanks.
I hope the luck the Bills had in this being discovered BEFORE the draft indicates our luck has changed.
-
What? First you call out the press for running with a story without investigating, then based on mock drafts (put out by the media) you treat it like it's set in stone that the Bills were going to take Te'o? Can you expand on your thought process a little here?
so a mock draft has the Bills taking Te'o and that means Nix is going to do exactly that.
I love the logic bro, love it.
It was a lot of the mock drafts, not just one. I guess MRW has a point that the Bills could be lying to the press about their interest in Te'o but Mel Kiper is generally seen as the top guy and he has probably learned over time how to interpret these conversations. With several mock drafts having us taking him, I have to believe that where there is smoke there is fire. Luckily for us I'd bet this fire got put out.

Here is what bugs me a little about this....
The press will seemingly report anything they are told and keep telling it over and over. They want a story and don't need to check anything. The girlfriend story, even the dead one isn't really a huge deal. It is sick but that's all. It's not like that guy that got arrested for bombing the Olympics in Salt Lake because a bunch of people were speculating. There have been other bad stories too like Lance Armstrong being a great hero. That crap went on for years. You don't even need to research that issue; you can tell he is a liar just by looking at him.
With Te'o though, the press really doesn't have much to lose.. It will blow over for them because they all cover for each other.
Here is what bugs me MOST about this.....
Almost every mock draft you see has the Bills taking Te'o at #8. The Bills DO have something to lose. A lot of $$$$$$ and another wasted pick. I wanted to believe this new regime was better than the old one but I guess not. They should have investigated this before deciding on Te'o. I suspect they will shy away from him now which only means they got lucky but why they had him pegged in the first place without discovering this major character flaw is amazing to me. Do you think Bellichick would have ever picked a guy like this?

I know, huh?
You step on the spandex mafia's toe; they step on your taint.

How many lawyers are lining up to take the Reba vs. Notre Dame case right now?
-
And you're basing this assinine assumption on what exactly?
Technically he had two asinine assumptions there.

T'aint protected enough.T'aint what?

Becuase it's funny looking? Or clashes with their outfits?
Clearly funny looking is not an issue so it must clash.
Bicycling is bad for your prostrate node.
You mean taint?

Wow, way to flaunt your ignorance regarding both the Teaching profession AND mental health all in one post. Congrats!
I am willing to admit when I am wrong, which is very infrequently, but I may owe you an apology here. Looks like this woman's fears were based in reality.

Ignorance of the teaching profession? At least I know it involves kids. Apparently that was news to her.
The article said nothing about her seeking mental health assistance for her phobia. I'm sure there are limitless funds for that since it is off the public trough. Instead she just acts surprised that there are kids in a school. It's like joining the Army to be a paratrooper and then suing them because you're afraid of heights.
-
I agree. She went into secondary education @ the high school level... There she should stay... Why are they bumping her down. NOW, I can see the other side of the argument w/regard to Jr./Middle school... Where does the teaching certificate cutoff...?? Between Primary and Secondary. That is where the issue lies.
IMO, it does seem they are retaliating against her (read the whole eliminating classes thing).
I'd agree with you that she should not expect to be transferred into a role involving young kids........................
if she were a tax attorney.
This is like a worker at McDonalds complaining he is afraid of potatoes and then acting surprised when he gets transferred to the French Fry division.
How about another approach to her "disability". GET OVER IT LOONY BIRD!!!!!!! They're little brats.
-
I'm not really understanding the bashing of the teacher going on here. Sure, it may be an off the wall fear (no pun intended), but she does have a point with the ADA. I don't see how the teacher is at fault here.
I can't wait to get your thoughts on next week's article about the car salesman suing the dealership because he is afraid of drivers.

Unless they are Armenian and have beards by age 9.

It really isn't just bicycle riders, although they seem to be among the worst. It is the me me me generation; but bicycle riders are easy to point out because they are so in your face about everything and because their de facto leader, Lance Armstrong is such a blatant phony that they continue to worship right down to the ceremonial garb.
To examine Lance Armstrong is not difficult. Was he a great athlete in his own right? Sure. Did he work very hard to get where he was? Sure. Did he always think he was the center of the universe? I don't know and it doesn't really matter because at some point he began believing it and he still does. Everything he did was about him. Everything. It still is. I don't think he is coming clean to correct any wrongs. I don't think it is to save his foundation. It is to stay in the spotlight and stay famous.
And spare me the "he did so much good for charity" BS. Did anyone raise money for cancer before Lance came along? Of course. Will cancer research donations fall off if "Livestrong" is no more? Of course not. The money will just go to other organizations. Livestrong was an organization that did good;but make no mistake, Armstrong's participation was as self promotional as Troy Polamalu's hair. So what if he had to rip some people's lives apart to perpetuate his lies? It kept the attention on him and he could always use the foundation as an excuse and "proof" that he was a good guy.
He was not the worst liar ever. He certainly has fewer tells than OJ and Kobe, but it was EAAAAAAASSSY to tell he was lying the whole time. There was a parade of people who called him on it and he focused on making them the villains. THIS is the part that makes me wonder if there is something in the cycling mentality that is way off kilter or if it is just part of human nature that is easier to see in the me me me cyclists. Who really cares if anonymous people get hurt as long as Lance's attention train stayed on the tracks? She was just a secretary? Why not call her a hooker and boozer to all the world?
On a day to day level look at cyclists. They parade around screaming for attention in their stupid outfits. When they don't get attention they invade lanes made for cars. When that doesn't work they arrange a form of protest that blocks traffic and inconveniences as many people as possible. Somewhere in that line of cars there was probably a person on the verge of losing their job. When they got to work late it was the last straw and they got their pink slip. Somewhere in that line was a person on the way to he most important meeting of his or her life. They showed up late, failed to get the deal and can't afford to send their kid to college. Instead of visiting their grandchildren at a house with a white picket fence, they'll get to visit their crackhead kid at rehab. In another part of the line was a husband on his way to the hospital who arrived just in time to miss the birth of his child. He will be nagged for this forever. And the spandex mafia expects all of those people to be nice to them as they blow through another red light with their middle finger in the air.
Who really cares if anonymous people get hurt as long as the spandex mafia's attention train stayed on the tracks?

Captain Kangaroo? He died years ago so I doubt he was involved.
