It's as if Te'o's PR camp thinks that it's 1960. WE HAVE THE INTERNET WE CAN ACTIVELY TRACK YOUR CONTRADICTIONS AND INCONSISTENCIES

Ok Mark Sanchez sighting

/end thread

His story has so many plot holes.......

You might need that undertitle changed to "Second most gullible person on earth after Manti T'eo" by the time all this is over.


A Manti-Real Lennay first meeting live on tv would be the GOAT.

There was an indie film called Easier With Practice about a guy who forges a phone-based romance with a girl named Nicole. As the relationship builds, the protagonist David (an introverted virgin) decides to meet her in person, only to discover -- spoiler alert -- that Nicole is a gay man who disguises his voice as a woman. This "Nicole" participates in this pattern of deceit because he is ashamed of his sexual preference but still wants to, to use your phrase, fulfill his desires.

As the Te'o story continues to unfold, it has reminded me of this film, which came out (so to speak) a year before Catfish. Your theory, or at least the quoted part, especially resembles the Easier plot line.

By the way, we've heard related discussion on the various media outlets of Te'o's draft value. Some "experts" suggest it won't change, as teams are only interested in a player's on-field ability. Others say he'll fall, because teams value character, leadership and intelligence, any or all of which are questionable now. I find it to be comical debate because the pundits seem to predicate the conversation that all teams look for the same qualities.

I think with a strong combine (most) will be forgiven. Then again, we could be looking at an awkward redux of Brady Quinn/Jimmy Clausen draft days.

I actually felt for Manti when I read his massive SI article interview. Like he lost his grandmother and his girlfriend in such a short time span!

I began actively rooting for him too.

I am not alone itt and in America for having felt that way. I now think he is a pos and I hope other people think that too.

am i the only person who is really pissed off that "to catfish" has become a verb?

I didn't know catfish was a verb until I read this thread.

I'm really excited that Mark Sanchez's name now got dropped into the story, even if it had nothing to do with the real SANCHIZE.

Leandra Jenai

Huh?

You mean Mike Leach who has twice been falsely accused of abusing players? Mike Leach who just got cleared by both the Pac12 and WSU?

What the **** point do you think you have?

Definitely not alone here. I was rooting for him as well. It never crossed my mind that this could be fake.

Scumbag POS is where I have him, too.

Whoever did Jodie Foster did a fantastic job.

lies made to explicitely mess with the public's emotions = psycho. i wish the focus was made entirely on milking the fake death and nothing else. i dont see how someone like that can be welcomed to play in the nfl, let alone society. is he gay/dumb/hoax'n around....who gives a ****...there's something a lot darker going on.

Do you know why Notre Dane player tend to fall in drafts because they are overrated and ESPN puts them on this pedestal. MKJ just rides the Notre Dame train. He can fool us but NFL GM's aren't as dumb. Manti should plummet just like jimmy and brady did. Not because of these actions but based on his mediocre talent alone.

Brady?

Yea. Brady Quinn

quinn obv

oh right lol

Michael Floyd tho

the last Notre Dame player to be picked higher than Floyd was (13th overall) was...

I'd like to see Roger Goodell comment on this matter come draft time.

Or at least give him an air high five and an air hug. To clown that punk on national TV.

I don't want Manti on any NFL team that I root for.

Didn't Te'o have 0 interceptions his previous 3 years? Seems like he lucksacked at least a few of them this year off deflections and such. Also, aren't barely half of his tackles solo, and he was often working behind a D line that was just superior to the opponent's O line? It just seems like inflated/overrated stats from circumstance this year to me. I think the big telltale thing will be his 40 time at the combine (Along with the other speed/agility drills). If he's slow, the speculation will start and he should fall.

@freecialis:

Behind three doors are 2 fake girlfriends and 1 real one. You choose a door & I reveal a fake gf. Do you switch doors? (Manti Hall problem)
