Manti Teo's Dead Girlfriend is a hoax

[woodbuck27]

I heard his new girlfriend is from Canada, but she was too busy to come down for the National Championship Game.

sniff, sniff on that......:

Yup another issue.

Manti is from Laie which is similar to Utah. Courtship is much different for true mormons. Being engaged to multiple women simultaneously is common.

It was only recently Mormons stopped being polygamists.

Um, say what? It's been over 100 years since Mormons denounced plural marriages and excommunicated those that entered into new ones. There are some splinter groups even today, but they live outside the church and the law.

No, I'm not a Mormon, but I play Scott Cambell on TV...

Scott lives in one such splinter group with his three wives, located in Austin, Texas. He enjoys expresso, microbrews and indie-folk-roots-grunge-outlaw music.

You know, I don't care if he's gay. No... actually I do. Not because he's putting his penis in the wrong place, but because rookies have about a bazillion things to worry about, adjust to, and deal with, all of which can cause their career to end before it really begins. From what I've read, most NFL locker rooms are still rather homophobic, if not downright homohostile, so I'm not really interested in bringing someone in who's immediately going to have a rather im-pack-ful hurdle to clear in his life, in his career, and with the sports media sticking their noses up his ass at every turn.

If he's gay.

If he's not, I don't like him anyway because ND is crap and the people who go their all turn out to be assholes, no offense to present alumni.

Are you supposed to be making a counter-argument or bolstering mine?

Are you supposed to be making a counter-argument or bolstering mine?

Specifically in terms of what?

To head you in the right direction. I won't bolster your position RE: Notre Dame 'Fighting Irish' football players.

The head of the snake in that opening also has a tail.

I really don't give a crap about whether he was in on it or just gullible. What bothers me most is that this story came out in maybe late September. Where the hell was the press on this? Other than reporting what he said, doesn't ANYONE in the news media have a responsibility to check up on a story to get the FACTS straight! Nobody bothered to give this girl family a call for an interview? Nobody bothered to Google her name to see what comes up on a simple internet search? Nobody! CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, FOX, CNN you name it. What other stories have we been spoon fed to believe that are just as much bull shit as this? That's the really scary part about this whole episode.

The press was a little preoccupied with the election - ironically, they were reporting on women with cancer that Romney killed. He probably killed this guy's GF too.

One of the reporters who had interviewed Te'o said he did Google Lennay Kekua's name looking for an obituary. When he didn't find it, he chalked it up to the family wanting to maintain privacy in a tragic situation.

You need to look no further than the current and two term occupant of the white house to answer this question.
