[QUOTE=CultBrennan59;990841]They stars are all aligned and pointing to him being gay. I have yet to see him in high school at prom with a girlfriend or anything like that. Usually all these big name athletes have a girl on their shoulder on a lot of different sport sites; Deadspin, Blacksportsonline, etc.[/QUOTE]

Or as i have said, just a really shy virgin who wanted desperately to fit in with the guys because he was the stud linebacker at ND.

amazing stuff in this thread

Re: The Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Hoax Web of Lies
 

[quote=NC_Skins;990863]Listen, I think you guys really need to back off. First off, the guy has showed his phone records where he spent hours and hours talking to a person whom he thought was somebody else. He didn't make that up, he's not lying about his relationship with that person. What he could be lying about is telling people that it's a girl when in actuality it was a dude. It very well may have played out exactly how he said (with her/him dying) and he didn't know. It was also proven that he sent flowers to the address he thought was the person he was in a relationship with. Much of the stuff you guys have insinuated have been proven wrong with the evidence. (call logs/flowers/etc)

Now, if you want to talk about why he lied from early December to now, is another matter. I think we all know good and well why he lied during that period. How often do we see scandals withheld until a big event passes by and then is released? You see it in politics and many other venues. (especially in the NFL) You don't think he was asked to lie by ND until after the championship? I sure as hell would be very good money that they did.[/quote]

You're missing the point. Even if he was "duped", he still told things that were outright lies to national media throughout the relationship. I've said over and over, it's one thing to tell your friends you met a girl in person so they don't think you're a loser. It's another to go on national tv and tell that outright lie. It was stupid and showed poor judgement, qualities that every nfl coach will (and should) consider when deciding where to put him on their boards.

It's also possible, but here's what I have to say to that. Tim tebow. Tebow is a virgin. He still gets photos with hot chicks and he never had to make up a fake girlfriend while at Florida.

I just listened to the voice mails and I have to say it does sound like a girl, but the other question here is are these really old voice mails or recent ones that the teo family paid someone off to say. Someone on one of the sites said why are they doing excel sheets of phone convos when they can just look at phone bills. (I think this is a dud point). But what I really want to hear is this tuiasosopos voice and then him impersonating the girl. That would put a lot of closeur to this case in my book.

I just heard them too. I think that guy is the one who needs serious help. That is just insane that u would spend your days doing that.
As far as the tebow comparison - he just isnt embarrased by the fact. I think with Tebow religion is top priority and not fitting in.

I think a lot of you guys need to be eating some crow. I mean a lot. Dude has evidence to back up his story. This sounds like a chick to me, but I'm still going with the hoax was really about a boyfriend. He just used "girlfriend" to cover for his sexuality.

Granted, this doesn't cover it from early December to when it was exposed, but I shared my thoughts about that. No way they were going to come out prior to the NC and make that the focus.

Re: The Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Hoax Web of Lies
 

On a side note, if he is gay and went through all the trouble to make us think he's not, it's a sad reflection on our society. A famous professional (or non) athlete cannot proclaim he's gay because of close minded bigoted fans and players would shun or make fun of him. (especially fans)

Re: The Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Hoax Web of Lies
 

Well in the Katie couric interview he said he was not gay. He also admitted to being a liar.

Re: The Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Hoax Web of Lies
 

I don't know why you would believe anything they release.
Is there anyway they can verify that the recording was done before December?
Next think you know, his dad will come out and say he's met her...

It's hilarious. I've seen more people give OJ and Ray Lewis the benefit of the doubt than I have Te'o.....lol


To everybody up here saying they wouldn't lie to the press, I call bullshit. It's easy to say what you would or would not do because you don't have the press prying into your everyday life (including your love life). You don't have countless of reporters asking you day in and day out what your favorite food is, who you are dating, and so on. Not sure why you all expect a teenager, who's most likely embarrassed, to come clean to the press over this prior to this being exposed. I've lied to people about stuff I was embarrassed about and I'm quite sure many of you have too. Now add the fact the national media is involved and not only will you have embarrassment from your peers, but the national public as well. **** no I wouldn't have told anybody I was dating a girl (or guy) that I met online and never have met. Most normal people would be embarrassed by that fact.

I think what has been proven is that he was in a relationship with a person that he never met. I think it was also proven he spent a great deal of time with that person on the phone. It was also proven that he had some suspicions, but wasn't officially notified until the investigation in December. (by ND) I think it's quite clear he didn't invent this hoax to boost up his popularity, and I think it's also quite evident he lied to save himself from embarrassment. Also, it's quite clear that the ND athletic department wanted him to continuing lying until after the championship game so it wouldn't serve as a distraction.(which was obviously the correct choice)


I think it sad that many of you take more interest in some teenager lying to the public than you do your own congressional members, who are lying to you (through press and to your face) on a daily basis. Like I said, priorities.

Honestly who gives a shit about this anymore

lol I'm there. Obviously nobody is going to confess anything fully so this is going to keep going in a circle until people stop caring.
