Catholics and mormons aren't Christians to them

Yeah, the theory that Te'o was indeed duped, but embellished his relationship to the media, is taking strong hold now and makes sense imo

Tuiasosopo sounds like a major scumbag:

http://www.csnchicago.com/ncaa/notre...541&feedID=630

Alema Te'o said he met Tuiasosopo in a Los Angeles hotel lobby and quickly felt something was off. Te'o runs a football camp in American Samoa, which Tuiasosopo said he had a hand in planning -- a statement which, according to Te'o, was not the case.

"If he’s telling me that he was doing my job, then where the hell was I?" Te'o said.

Te'o detailed how Tuiasosopo had with him a 9-year-old girl called Pookah, which jives with a TMZ report involving a separate meeting with Tuiasosopo and a child referred to as Pookah. Te'o said his great-nephew was "mesmerized" by Pookah and was led to believe she was a cousin of Kekua, when in fact she was one of Ranaiah Tuiasosopo's sisters, according to the elder Te'o.

Alema Te'o also said Manti Te'o had previously talked on the phone with Pookah while Kekua was purportedly still alive but too tired to talk.

When one of Alema Te'o's nieces attempted to talk with Pookah, she -- according to Te'o -- didn't speak, only nodding or shaking her head while Tuiasosopo stood over her with both his hands on her shoulders.

Te'o detailed how Tuiasosopo said he was hoping to raise money for a friend of Kekua's, who also had leukemia and attended Stanford, so that person could put herself through college. That hope was characterized as a "dying wish" of Kekua's, according to Te'o.

Te'o said Tuiasosopo continually talked up a charity event for his foundation, and believed at the time Tuiasosopo was attempting to align himself with Te'o to gain notoriety for his foundation.

Te'o minced no words when referring to Tuiasosopo multiple times during the segment, saying: "Ranaiah Tuiasosopo is a liar, he concocted the whole thing, he misrepresented whatever program that he was trying to get across to Manti, and shoot, he lied every step of the way. I don’t feel it’s beyond him to hire somebody or bring somebody in to play the role of Lennay to get Manti to buy into this deal."

Has anybody checked on bdidd? Thumbs up if he's taking the high road, but I'm worried he died in a spasm of cognitive dissonance.

Wow, the crazy level continues to climb.

last thing i'll post cause it's kinda of a derail but:

the player wasn't charged because the girl was ****ing dead.


notre dame has a reputed culture of sweeping damning allegations under the rug to protect its image and football program. i know i'm not the only one who believes that.

"no probable cause" is a borderline sociopathic response as it fails to acknowledge the possibility of a larger issue here, iyam.

Wonder who cooked the fried chicken...

So..
1. T'eo is a narcissist who later played along with the cancer/dead gf for publicity.
2. Tuiasosopo seems like an all around scumbag who originally duped and masterminded the thing.
3. No ghey sex

So the police are sociopaths?


***

Greta Van Susteran talks Teo as Fox shows ND qb Golson throwing a TD pass to Goodman. Who says the Main Stream Media doesn't do their research?

is pointing yourself out on the TV that narcissistic?

I could care less about the reputation of an over-the-hill university or a ******ed 22 yr old. I just hope this gets the ball rolling on destroying the credibility of sports media in this country.

It just blows my mind that Te'o being both hilariously and historically dumb AND a massive narcissist/exploiter/self-promoter... Is basically the best case scenario. That's the best. Anything past that and you get into "Te'o is in on the hoax" territory.

loooooooooooooooooooooool

#5 for notre dame, tho

Grunching since about 2am in thread so haven't heard any developments today

Why do we believe the girl wasn't in on it? She is HS friends with his friend and lives in Cali; just because she said she didn't know about it? So nobody that knows her ever saw Manti's "girlfriend's" picture?

nice hand.

The tone of the deadspin article indicated that they believe she's telling the truth.

Plus the fact that she actually talked to them while everyone else believed to be involved didn't return their calls.

Good article on subject:

Dave Zirin: Notre Dame and Penn State: Two Rape Scandals, Only One Cry for Justice

ND is a pretty scummy program. No doubt about that.

How on earth has no one gotten a hold of Tuiasosopo yet???

Or T'eo outside of a lame PR statement.
