Manti Te'o lied about his Girlfriend dying

Really that could be the result of people pressing him about an 'online girlfriend' so he just said they met to not be embarrassed.

As much as I want this to be a hilarious catastrophe, it reads like he fell for someone pretending to be this woman online and was just naive enough to fall for it for a long time.

This is what I'm thinking. Wonder who the creepy old guy playing the part of the chick is.

The more I think about it the more I believe that he should just come out & say something to the effect of "Yeah I'm gay. I made her up because of the culture of football & the culture of this country. I'm sorry but i really wanted to play without causing distractions."

Even if it's not true.

Some elements of the story really only make sense if he was in on it.

Overall, the whole thing is just weird beyond belief.

There is a rumor that him and his best friend had a sexual relationship, so that's why he created it. So people wouldn't know he was gay.

The guy who asked for the girl's picture is the friend rumored to have a relationship with Te'o.

Where are you hearing that rumor?

I know someone who is a pathological liar, this sounds exactly like something they would do (minus the media obviously)

edit: didn't read whole article, he obviously also could be gay and hiding that, which if true is really sad- whether the pressure to be a 'macho man' from football or religion would drive someone to do that

    • Not much to tear down on the roster. A few contracts to dump but really pretty bare bones due to years of poor management and not being able to get more expensive people to come into their mess.  100% on holdovers. The problem is the Teppers will be a part of the hiring at some level, which they have failed at in every way. I can't see a way around that hurdle unless it's pure luck at this point.
    • Like I said, it doesn't matter how far he can or cannot throw the ball. Most (95%) of the game is played within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage anyway. Having a big arm is plus for sure but not completely necessary. Height and  weight is up there and I would argue more important than arm strength. Accuracy and being able to function under pressure is priority number 1 if you ask me.
    • A serious mid-week question:  If you were forced to pick who'll win straight-up for this week's game, who's your choice?  Carolina or Atlanta? Pros for Carolina:  finally, a home game. Carrying over some of the excitement from last week's last 5 minutes. Division rival, chip on our shoulder to prove we can win, etc.    Cons: some key injuries, XL.  And, well.... (waves hands around) all that other stuff Pros for Atlanta: uh, they won last week? (reason for the question: weekly office football pool has the matchup on the sheet and I'm debating which to go with)
