The one thing that I really don't understand; since he found out it was fake quite a while before, why did he still use it as a sob story leading up to, and after the NC game? Just blows my mind.

He didn't. ESPN did. The one time he asked about it he basically went a completely different way to the question.

If you think about it, websites like this are very good examples of how something like this can happen. This may be a sports talk opinion website as we are all well aware, but how many Tennessee fans would you not have known had this website not existed? May that be a literal personal meeting or a virtual acknowledgement. Sites like this and the truth that younger generations do not see this as strange at all. You meet people through words or pictures, sometimes video. You talk to them every day, check up on them, see how their day is going without ever meeting them in person. I see it every day and have personally met people that I otherwise would not have known had it not been for the internet.

That because Te'o lied, he cannot believe (which is logical and understandable).

So I can do for the same with Clay with his articles, saying they lack credence and can't be taken seriously since he doesn't reports things correctly.

I am looking at the situation as a whole with common sense as the base. You can form any opinion of CT you want. I generally don't care for him, but his opinions in the article are spot on. If you want to compare a 3 yr fake relationship, with lies to family, gene wojo, and others along the way, to CT missing a date by a day, you certainly have the right.

You are absolutely right. I have to take the bad with the good and carry on. I keep up with things day to day that I used to try and keep up with by buying Knox Journal, Knox Sentinel and Kingsport Times. News is great and I enjoy everyone's input. This news just thru me for a loop.

Musberger said something even creepier this week when he said Holly Rowe was "smokin' hot". Really not sure now if he's creepy or blind.

I heard a show on the radio killing him for that, but they kept replaying the audio and he said "it was smoking..." not she was smoking

Being gay would explain family and friends possibly helping to cover it up. Would also help explain why espn and the school would sit on it. And honestly, if being gay could destroy this guys nfl career I don't blame them.

The fake gf bit people would forgive him for.

Having her die and then using that as publicity would destroy him in society.

Exactly.

For his sake, I hope he is a victim and is able to prove that. I just don't see how this could go on for so long, especially for someone in his position, for him to have never even met her. Did friends and family not find this a bit strange? Did he not become suspicious? He could have landed any chick he wanted but he instead carried out a 3 year relationship with someone exclusively online?

It's just too odd to believe anything really.

Remember when Swarbrick said that investigators found chatter among people about the hoax?

Go to this guys' page and clink on the links from jayrahz and ceeweezy51.

I've been listening to this story at the gym for the past three hours. Here are just some random questions that I have.

Everything Te'o has said may not be exactly true, but can't be proven to have been a lie either. The red flag, however, is that his dad told the story about how Manti met the girl at the Stanford game in 2009. This was a face to face meeting, too.

I can understand a person trying to pull a hoax on him this season. He's perhaps the most popular player in college football. However, this has apparently been going on for the better half of four years. Manti talked with her on the phone for around eight hours each night as she was battling cancer. What sicko would impersonate an ill person for eight hours just to keep this hoax going? Who would dedicate enough time each day to something that is really meaningless?

Where are these letters that Manti received from her? If he wants to confess his innocence, then providing letters, scriptures and phone records would be a good start.

Another thing that is going unnoticed is the Tuiasosopo connection. That's a well-respected family that is deep in football tradition. They also have a pretty good name and considerable wealth. Why would Ronaiah risk his dignity by getting involved in this? Ronaiah and Manti both have everything to lose and nothing to gain. It just doesn't make sense.

Also, the Twitter handle to the fake account follows four people. Manti is one, but the other three are USC players. Is there perhaps some crazy chance that a disgruntled USC fan has been doing all of this? I think it's nearly idiotic to suggest, but anything is possible with this story.

I know that some of the timelines that Te'o has provided doesn't exactly match up, but I can't even begin to dive into that aspect yet. I will say that if Te'o is truly innocent, he must have been really freaked out when his fake, dead girlfriend called him several months after her death.
