2013 College Football off-season

[Ryne Ween]

I just read the below. I wonder if he is watering down the hardcore/unmitigated defense of Teo from the other night.

Even if he was duped he is still a liar and a serial embellisher.

[Smack]

I just realized he was an Academic All American, haha

[Old Style]

Gotta love minor league baseball marketing.

OK, maybe not ALL minor league baseball marketing.

None of which is illegal.

Um. True?

 

Did someone say it was illegal?

No, but reading between the lines, you guys are making it sound like he should be punished.

I think we get a very tall man to take down his pants and make him walk down the street while everybody points and laughs at him. Have it be a tie-in with the NFL draft.

The real villain here looks to be Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, who probably did break the law.

Can we add to that by putting a leash around his neck and have a midget walk him around? Because that would be fantastic.

he's the "realist" student i know

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I just keep thinking about all the fake [expletive] I never got because we didn't have twitter/facebook when I was in college.

The tall man has to get in his itty-bitty car and honk at him the entire way. Otherwise, the punishment would be pointless.

Nah, the entertainment of the mocking is more than enough.

Update, 4:19 p.m.: The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, citing a source close to Manti Te'o's family, reported details of the phone conversation Te'o had with the person he believed to be Kekua on Dec. 6. The details just add to the bizarre nature of this developing story: Kekua said she had to fake her own death to avoid drug dealers.

I wanna see his birth certificate now. There's no way this guy is about to graduate from any college.

OH BUT THERE'S MORE

Dan Tudesco, a 2006 graduate who now works in public relations in New York, set up an online account at fundraising website indiegogo.com on Jan. 9 to solicit $5,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc. The initial pitch said donations would go to the society in memory of Lennay Kekua and in honor of Te'o, "two individuals who have been an inspiration to us through an iconic season."

Tudesco said he and three friends got the fundraising idea after seeing a video that went viral of Te'o holding his head in dismay during the Irish's 42-14 loss to Alabama in the national championship game.

The goal was to turn the loss -- and the player's sudden popularity -- into something positive.

"I think we were all kind of disappointed in the result of the game ... and the Manti story was very inspirational," Tudesco told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Notre Dame took notice of Tudesco's tweets about the fund drive and sent a university videographer to shoot an interview with him. The video was posted on the Notre Dame athletics YouTube channel Tuesday.

Tudesco said he didn't believe Notre Dame was aware of the hoax when it promoted his fundraiser.

"It would surprise me that Notre Dame would want to promote this if they knew something like this was going on," Tudesco said.

However, Notre Dame officials said Wednesday that they became aware of the hoax on Dec. 26, nearly two weeks before the championship game. University spokesman Dennis Brown didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment Thursday.

Te'o is going to make millions in the NFL and end up one of those guys in used car commercials the moment he retires.

WTF

[davell]

Why the hell hasn't he spoke yet? Duped, liar, both-whatever. The longer he goes, the worse it looks, no matter what.

Maybe he is waiting for Lennay to safely escape the drug dealers first. You see, he might be denying her existence now to protect her from those nasty guys. Dude is on top of things.
