betcha hes gay

Agree

7th round. Why would a coach want a guy like that?

Protect the shield.

Because he can play.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

All the more reason to draft a quarterback in round 1.

Of course, once again, the position of need is garbage in this draft, but not in the past two.

[Crisis]

Sounds like he's so deep in the closet that he's having adventures in Narnia.

[Don't Panic]

Wow... just wow. Truth definitely acting stranger than fiction. I honestly don't know what to believe, but at a minimum the dude has poor judgement, which has to be considered by anyone trying to justify a top 10 selection on him.

[ckg927]

Just a few thoughts:

1. IF he's gay, as quite a few of you have opined....SFW? If you can play, you can play. End of discussion.

2. If we're taking the route that Te'o knew about this and let us all be played for fools, we can lump him along with Lance Armstrong in the category of "Most Loathsome People of 2013"...and January is only half over!

Good grief.

But an ex con dog killer is fine? Protect what shield? lol.

[Albany,n.y.]

This is a strange as the guy who thinks the 900 phone sex girl is his girlfriend. If you've never met your girlfriend, she's not your girlfriend.

How about fathering multiple kids with multiple wives out of wedlock? Or driving home intoxicated? Or cheating on their spouse every opportunity. I grew up with and work with pro athletes, and I can tell you while many of them are "good guys" they have no moral standard. So, I agree protect what shield? It's a shield that symbolizes excellent athletes, not excellent men.

This is a big kicker for Te'o in all of this. He's talked as if they have met, and that he's talked to her family. Say he was "the victim", he's still a big fat ****ing liar.

[bf1]

There is much more to this hoax. He had everyone believing he was a good linebacker. That hoax unraveled during the national championship game.

couldn't agree more.

[psubills62]

Well, I'm willing to wait for the entire story to come out. But what a story this is turning out to be.

[RedEyE]

Stop me if you heard this one:

Manti Te'o and Lance Armstrong walk into a bar...

[Skooby]

Konabud is a helluva drug.

[Bert102176]

That was my first thought as well. A devout mormon at a Catholic college. Dating an invisible girlfriend.

Here's ND's statement:

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

It's sad that people do things like this not careing about anothers feelings

[YardRat]

Wow.

[Bert102176]

And some of u are so ignorant and stupid for the certain coments u made about Te'o and not even knowing the whole story
