I remember on Seinfeld when he pretended to be married so he could get a discount on dry cleaning but ended up getting "divorced" because he couldnt handle the responsibilities of a pretend marriage; it seems like MT can handle having a pretend girlfriend.
It's really too bad that there isn't anything interesting about the Redskins to discuss, so we're stuck obsessing over another guy's fake girlfriend. That being said, what is relevant here is how this is going to affect his draft value. Right now there is just no way of knowing; the mushroom cloud is still expanding so to speak, and it will be weeks before things settle down to the point at which reasonable judgements can be made by NFL squads about Te'o's mental condition (for lack of a better term).

I dont see Te'o being a great NFL player at all. He got shredded by the closest thing to an NFL offense he's ever played against in the championship game. He also does not have strong leadership skills (and has been described as "childlike" by peers and interviewers), which is something you absolutely need from the QB of your defense. I certainly wouldnt want us wasting our 2nd round pick on him.

Now I'm interested. Throw that bone out there and people can't help to wonder who. Especially if they're on the Skins!
Damn, I'm such a gossip.
All the gays play for dallas. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

There are already active gay NFL players that teammates know about. No one talks about it but there there.
Odds are that there should be 4-5 in each locker room of the NFL.

I don't see how it doesn't hurt his stock. Way too much of a media circus. I think at this point he'd need to come completely clean.
Time to get Oprah on the horn.
