Robert DeNiro has a message for you Manti... (jump to 1:05)

Burfict was a liability ON the field moreso than off. He was fat, lazy, and played poorly his senior year.

^meant JR year for Burfict

oh hai there.

Imagine if Te'o was actually fighting whether to believe this stuff for a month and then they bring the catfish to Miami.

Like he gets a call his maybe dead gf is at the bcs hotel, but security won't let him leave the room as tears stream down his face.

"I just want to say hello/goodbye!!!"

The crazy isn't an issue for NFL teams as much as its an issue that he won't fit in at all in any locker room. Dez Bryant has serious issues but his teammates presumably don't think hes a "freak and a very weird dude." The bigger issue is he'll bring a media circus teams won't want to deal with.

Every time I think this story can't get any weirder...

they pull me right back in.

@McMurphyESPN: Te'o said on Sept. 12 after grandmother died he got in argument on phone w/Kekua.Later that day,he was told Kekua had died

this. at least 20 times yesterday and today, i've told myself, "ok, it was fun, but it's gotten boring now, and will probably die down a bit with te'o on lockdown."

i really hope somehow the hot chick really in on it somehow and wasn't just an innocent bystander. unlikely, but would be cool.

RT @ChiTribHamilton Why didn't Te'o visit GF in hospital? Te'o to ESPN: "It never really crossed my mind. I don't know. I was in school."

yikes

best outcome would be for this to end up being a lovers spat between Tui & Te'o

I wouldn't exactly have called Te'o an asset on the field in the national championship game.

??????????????????????

Lol that's so unreal.

'She was the love of my life'
'Why didn't you go to the funeral?'
'lol, practice brah'

Decent point. Hard to pick on JUST Te'o though.

Transcript from the Schaapp / Manti interview----

Here's the thing though: Burfict's draft stock dropped because of consistently poor performance over the course of the year, followed by showing up fat to the combine/pro day.

I still think Te'o could be drafted day 1 or 2.

hahahahaha

In before first wonderlic score of zero

@ChiTribHamilton: Manti Te'o to ESPN on Lennay Kekua: "There were blocks and times and periods in which we would talk and then it would end.


LOVE OF HIS LIFE

So what happens it Te'o gets in the same room with this douchebag prankster?



Or is he going to be all god-like and forgive him for potentially ruining his football career?

I know that I'd go for the ear.

god though

great


narrative that he never knew is catching on


i guess when you hire the best firms it can work, but not unless you sell your soul and your next 5 years of pay in the NFL.

@McMurphyESPN: Te'o never asked for money during plot, but Kekua once requested his checking account number to send him money. Te'o didn't provide it

LOL at "to send him money". Probably in the African e-mail scammer kind of way.
