bobobonators Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 No chance he falls to us. Rex is tripping over feet right now to trade up so he can draft him. Says he will be the "Perfect Jet". LMFAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 the only way its a hoax is if the girl in the photos was in on it. if thats true - a lot becomes possible. they could have had all kinds of in real life interaction with her using the fake name. She said she has never met Te'o. They found out who the girl really is that was pictured as Te'o's supposed twitter squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 She said she has never met Te'o. They found out who the girl really is that was pictured as Te'o's supposed twitter squeeze. Ya....Te'o never ever saw or met the girl he said he had all these experiences with including meeting her...this is clear cut lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If he was the victim of a hoax, how does he explain the fake Twitter picture and the subsequent tweets? Exactly this. This was not a purely electronic relationship. The South Bend Tribune reported that Te'o and his girlfriend met in person for the first time. The relationship involved a lot of tweeting and phone conversations. The photograph of the girlfriend was stolen from a Facebook account and the woman in the photograph has nothing to do with this. Right there, Te'o is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Exactly this. This was not a purely electronic relationship.

The photograph of the girlfriend was stolen from a Facebook account and the woman in the photograph has nothing to do with this. Right there, Te'o is toast. Right, even if it started as a hoax, he lied to cover it up. He said he met her at Stanford, his father said all those things to the South Bend Tribune. It would be terrible if Teo knew about it and his father didn't and he let his father go out there and give all of those quotes that Teo himself knew not to be true.

NoSaint Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I thought it was weird when the girl said she just took the picture for the guy but it would be dumb of Deadspin not to triple check their facts while reporting on a story in which major media companies were terribly duped on. Also why would a chick even want to mess with a guy who is a potential Heisman candidate and future NFL player who was destined to make millions? Why would teo want to make it up is just as easy a question And deadspin never clears her - just repeats her claims I'm not saying that's what happened and teo is clear but it seems she may at the very least be involved. If she's involved everything blows wide open for possibilities. If not, it's all teo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So I'm clear here...imaginary girlfriends are still OK...as long as the girl exists....right? I'd hate to lose all my girlfriends over this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 She said she has never met Te'o. They found out who the girl really is that was pictured as Te'o's supposed twitter squeeze. Yea and if that's a lie? That was the entire point I was making. If she created the twitter after meeting him but used a fake name. Her stories shady too if you pay attention to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhIDunno Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 She said she has never met Te'o. They found out who the girl really is that was pictured as Te'o's supposed twitter squeeze. And there's no way she would lie about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Who knows? he could be the victim of an online hoax. This other guy may be gay and had the hots for Teo' and figured this was way to get closest to him. Plus a lot of this "Teo said this or that about being with her" is from newspaper articles that someone else wrote. Teo is still a kid, and quite possibly very shy around women. A lot these athletes lead sheltered lives. He may have thought this was real relationship with a real woman ... like a modern day "pen pal" kind of thing. Or he could have been exploiting it for national attention from start. Just wait till it all comes up before rushing to judgement ... it's not like anyone's lives are in danger in the interim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Manti is a Mormon...trying to be like his prophet Joe? Nobody knows, but Joseph Smith who started the Mormon religion was a WNY! Read Joe Smith vs. New York State “State of New York v. Joseph Smith” a) Court records prove the Smith was arrested in New York in 1826 for being a con-artist. b) “Warrant issued upon written complaint upon oath of Peter G. Bridgeman, who informed that one Joseph Smith of Bainbridge was a disorderly person and an impostor. Prisoner brought before the Court March 20, 1826. Prisoner examined: says that he came from the town of Palmyra ... that he had a certain stone which he occasionally looked at to determine where hidden treasures in the bowels of the earth were; that he professed to tell in this manner where gold mines were a distance under ground ... he pretended to tell by looking at this stone where coined money was buried in Pennsylvania, and while at Palmyra he frequently ascertained in that way where lost property was of various kinds...” (Court records of New York). c) While the Mormons claimed this never happened, Jerald and Sandra Tanner published the microfilm copies of the court records in 1971, under the title, Joseph Smith’s 1826 Trial. http://www.padfield....s/mormonism.pdf Edited January 16, 2013 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Grid Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So what round should the Bills draft him? I say 3....but i assume the Bengals will grab him in the second. How do you even chart this kind of stuff on the bad character scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Cain Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The level of idiocy on this board never ceases to amaze me. None of you have ever had an online relationship? Add in the fact he's a Mormon & how can anyone doubt his innocence? In this country we are innocent until proven guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
