Manti Ruh R'oh - It turns out Tuiasosopo is GOAT voice actor. T'eo still a liar/exaggerator. - Page 136 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

When I saw that, I thought, "he doth protest too much."

I was going to say "dude, nobody cares if you're gay" but Chris Culliver showed us that's not entirely true.

Still, I don't think it would be career-crippling or anything like that.(

You don't know the NFL. It would be absolutely career-crippling.

Roniah was violently molested as a child. Will be loltastic when people are more sympathetic towards Roniah than Te'o when all is said and done.

I didn't think any story he could tell would garner sympathy but that moved the needle. Did Tui explain why he had used that Lennay character on other people before Teo?

Edit: On second viewing, a bit man-ish, but she's Samoan, what do you expect. A lot better looking than I'd feared.

Claimed he didn't even know she was sick, let alone close to dying. Another massive hole in one of their stories

Story continues to deliver.

Note although I thought it was a female, I never ruled anything out. Hence "alleged". Story is too crazy to rule things out. Pretty ridiculous that he fooled multiple audio "experts" though.

I know everyone already knows this, but I'd just like to point out that if you had pitched this story as a movie, you'd get laughed out of the office for how totally implausible it was.

Well I'm guessing most people assume an "audio expert" is like one of those super-competant supergenius types that work in CSI or whatever cop show. More likely it's some idiot toiling away for lowish pay and few prospects for promotion, in exchange for doing a job nobody else wants.

Saw this elsewhere, mad at myself for not thinking of it:

"My personal theory is that Alabama beat Notre Dame so bad in the national championship game that it altered the space-time continuum and retroactively erased Manti Te'o's girlfriend from existence."

MANTI deleted his twitter. guess the plan was give two interviews, produce excel spreadsheet and girly fat hawaiian guy to play the villain, and then disappear.

Have the plot twists pretty much died out now? If this was an episode of Lost we'd soon find out that that Teo and Tuis were born in the same maternity ward on the same day and and injected with to halves of the anti-virus.

It actually was not even done from behind the privacy screen, but from his own home on the phone where a producer played witness.

No reason to rig it though. If it really was a girl on the other end why would it benefit anyone to pretend it wasn't?

purely anecdotal of course, but i sound nothing like myself on a phone.

ChrisV's right, what incentive is there for Dr. Phil to play along with this charade?

There's no incentive for the charade in the first place either. It being Tuiasosopo on the end of the line instead of some girl doesn't make him look better and it doesn't make Manti or ND look better.
