Manti Teo's Dead Girlfriend is a hoax

[KYPack]

That's some funny shit, GBG.

If Te'o is available when the Packers pick, and TT calls him on the phone to tell him they are picking him, will Te'o believe it's really TT on the phone?

I wonder if Teo will have his girlfriend with him in the Green Room?

This fake girlfriend thing is becoming quite the hype... Here's Russell Wilson's reaction when he was informed that the relationship with his girlfriend was a hoax as well:

I think Bill Clinton said that

Confine the political stuff to FYI, please

Heard some stuff from Peter King that makes some sense this AM.

King had talked to a head of Personnel with an NFL team. Most of the teams had Teo ranked as the 8 -10 player in the draft. With all the Juniors coming in this draft, he may fall to 20 - early second round. Each draft, the teams discover some crazy shit about the potential draftees. Finding out your guy did some incredibly stupid shit is old hat to most personnel staffs. Each team has guys that are basically stone crazy. if the kid makes it thru a few individual interviews OK, this cat thought he still will go in the first 40 picks easily.

Manti Teo is just another in a long line of young kids that have done goofy shit.

They are trying to ball in the NFL, not run for office.

I'd appreciate it if you'd keep the political commentary in FYI. Thanks.

Bill Clinton is so famous he goes beyond the political spectrum

Bill Clinton is so famous he goes beyond the political spectrum

especially as a musician, playing on his saxophone, if you catch my drift.

I am content to have very little idea what this story is about. It reeks of stupid young people, social networking and modern media, though.

The only spark of curiosity I have, given the very little I know, is to know how a guy is in trouble for having an imaginary girlfriend who dies if she was imaginary. Does it show bad judgment that she was imaginary or that he did nothing to prevent her death?

On second thought, I don't want to know.

I think it shows bad judgment that he didn't pretend to go to the fake funeral service for his imaginary girlfriend. That should have been the least he would be willing to not do.

He probably sent some imaginary flowers.
