YES. And it's awesome again.

Don't call it that. Yesssssssssssss.

Holy [expletive]; words cannot describe how great that is.

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

What has happened to this great thread?

How many teams actually let a HC coach out their final year? Seems like they are always either getting extended or fired before it. Having a coach hanging on a single season doesn't seem like a good way to try and build a new staff.

Pretty much.

I think my 30 Rock one was underappreciated: http://img.neoseeker.com/mgv/451439/439/39/screen_shot_20100120_at_71304_pm_display.png There's a good Archer reference, too.

What an idiot.

Basically. If he was somehow inexplicably duped in all of this then he's some kind of weirdo freakmonster.

catfish was dumb and not real. i haven't seen the show. talhotblond (the documentary, not the lifetime movie) was awesome, except that someone really died. HOLY [expletive]: That is nuts.

More just annoyed when people talk about the Crawford contract like it was a given he was going to topple off of a cliff at 29. There's a pretty huge difference between "huge market team with a lot of money overpays for a guy but will likely get 4-5 years of great to good production" and the complete bust that Crawford has turned out to be under his current deal.

It is absolutely possible that he's involved. I'm interested to see what Te'o says in his PC and what the guy behind the twitter account says tomorrow (if that's real). But literally no one has come up with a reasonable justification for committing career suicide and Te'o duping everyone. The guy [expletive] got a message from a family whose daughter was dying of cancer and sent them a long email back about coping with a loved one dying of cancer. I mean, jesus. Why wouldn't he just ignore it if he was making it up? They never expected a response. how much of a sociopath do you have to be to [expletive] with the family of a girl dying of cancer? It just seems much more likely that he was gullible. Why isn't reasonable that he's just a damaged human being? Why isn't it reasonable that someone with his background would go to desperate lengths to hide his sexuality? Why do you think gullibility is so realistic but a student athlete making stupid decisions isn't? b/c making a stupid decision doesn't begin to describe the fraud he would have perpetrated against many, many people. Te'o's personality was described long before this as sincere and naive. Maybe he's a sociopath and duped everyone he's ever met. That seems less likely to me based on the information that's come out. Still seems more likely than the ever increasing gang of people who you are suggesting somehow pulled this off without letting anything slip. Maybe he's so sincere and naive (and dense) he didn't realize the harm that he would cause. He doesn't have to be the monster you keep trying to paint him as to have pulled this off or to have been involved, especially if it was a matter of hiding his sexuality. I'm sure it wouldn't have been difficult to convince himself "hey, who's really gonna get hurt? She doesn't really exist!" Doing stuff like talking to a little girl with cancer could have just been a way of him justifying the lie by doing something good. It's hardly the long shot you so badly want it to be for him to have been involved in this.

true But not consistent with ND trying their damnedest to make it sound like he never lied.

Wait, what? How is THAT logical at all? Especially if Tuiasosopo is involved? If anything a theory like that only really makes sense if Te'o is involved in at least some capacity in making this up, because otherwise you're expanding the group of conspirators more and more.

I wonder what other storylines they were tempted to make up besides the car crash. "Sorry, T'eo; we can't be together because I'm going to the International Space Station!"

"VANDELAY!!! SAY 'VANDELAY FUNERAL HOME'!!!!!!"

So it's simpler to: A. assume that an NFL prospect kills off a fake gf (rather than admitting to his family that he lied and then telling his teammates they broke up) and risks ruining his career rather than B. Te'o is one of a bunch of people that have fallen victim to these scams. It's possible that A is right. I don't think that's more likely nor simpler. Again, what about the stuff like his story about how they met? Do you think he decided to make that up on his own or did the Catfishes tell him to use that story?

Hahahahaah!

Crying Benoit needs to make some appearances.
