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.
