Not going to post the whole story as we all can find it online. Wow, if he made up this story for sympathy he should be kicked off the team. If its a hoax, why did he go along with the story. Either way it is not good. So hard to trust an athlete after the steroids era, Lance Armstrong and now this story.

I could not care less if Lance Armstrong used drugs...that sport is rife with cheaters. Of course he lied about it...they all do. It's like that poor SOB Ben Johnson. He gets popped in 1988 for using gear and gets stripped of his medal. Carl Lewis fails drug tests but because he's an American and has some pull, he gets to be on a Wheaties box.

I'm not bothered by the drugs. I am sick of the hypocrisy....

So far as this stuff with Te'o...I can only say "WTF?"

I'm just glad that I'm not the one who has to break the news to him about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

So much for Oprah having the deadline story of the week. Lance's story is kind of getting swept under the rug. Not sure what to believe with Te'o. Personally I think he made up the story. He cannot produce an address for this girls parents, didn't know where she was buried yet he sent flowers for the funeral. A girl came forward but remains anonymous saying someone stole pictures of her and portrayed them as Te'o girlfriend. And this anonymous girl knows Te'o so he easily could have stolen them. But if Te'o wanted sympathy he didn't need to fabricate a story like this because people were already sympathetic with his grandmother's pass away. If it was a hoax I am pretty sure he knew something about it. If he created the story then he is just plain sick. And if it was a hoax nothing legally can be done. Te'o didn't do anything as far as being extorted out of money. Not sure why ND has hired a private investigator. Legally there was no criminal act. Gullible and Stupidity is not a crime.

Where was that private investigator when the football players were accused of rape? Lizzy Seeberg. Maybe ND officials will remember that name.

I loved Seth Myers' line:

Before we make too many jokes, let's not forget that someone who never existed is dead.

Really weird answers.... I think the guy's full of it and made the whole thing up. What a head case.

That one cracked me up the most. Honorable mention goes to "Next year, his 'awareness' number in Madden will be zero". Also liked someone asking Matthew Stafford's girlfriend is she was...in fact...real on her twitter feed.

Sort of tying this thread together, here's a pic of Lance with his arm around Manti's girlfriend:

Flipper,

Let me attest to the fact that she is definitely real and beautiful. Saw her and Matthew in a Chipolte parking lot in Southfield, MI at lunchtime in November as I drove by They were getting ready to get into their Escalade.
