Super User deaknh03 Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 I think were looking at one of the first major athletes potentially admitting he is gay. I don't think he was duped, I think he and his friend concocted this to hide their relationship. I bet his family knows as well, and this whole duped excuse is so he can get drafted and cash in, before the truth comes out. So today the guy that "perpetrated the hoax" comes out and says he has "strong" feelings for te'o. One of the 2 shoes has dropped. Quote

Super User Felix77 Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Nothing surprises me anymore. x2 ... You can put a whole list of athlete's who have "surprised" us in the past. I'm totally numb to it at this point. Seems like every week we are hearing about a superstar who has fallen from grace. Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah i just reas where JaMarcus Russle is going to attempt a come-back. The story said that he had his weight "down to" 308. He is a Quartberback....not a left tackle. All that robotussin (codein) hes be sippin on has put a belly on him. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Eh, just keeps getting worse. I'm more surprised this covered up the Sandy Hook headlines Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Just think the vets always haze the rookies. Imagine what is going to happen to him. Hell he might have a mental breakdown before the start of the season. Quote
Quitlimpin Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Definitely a bizarre situation. But there is no way this kid's gonna be a bust. He's as natural a backer as I can remember watching. His first step is almost always correct. Dude is just a straight ballhawk. Kinda reminds me of Zach Thomas--ALWAYS around the ball. 1 Quote
craww Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 His stock was dropping quite a bit before this. Teams have serious reservations about his ability to get off blocks and work through traffic at the pro level. The title game hurt him. Quote
Quillback Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah i just reas where JaMarcus Russle is going to attempt a come-back. The story said that he had his weight "down to" 308. He is a Quartberback....not a left tackle. All that robotussin (codein) hes be sippin on has put a belly on him. Now that guy (JaMarcus) was such a bust I had completely forgotten about him. I wonder if he has any money left.. If I was an NFL GM looking to draft Manti, I'd be looking at a lot of game tapes, I'd also bring him in for a loooooonnnngggg interview until I felt I got the truth our of him of this totally bizzare story of his. ESPN radio guys were saying that he had spent 110 hours on the phone with his imaginary GF, and had exchanged thousands of text messages and emails with "her". And there's the person or persons that pulled off this supposed hoax. Who the heck would spend that much time on this hoax? This was like a full time job, every night on the phone with him and all the texting? It just doesn't make sense... Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 He's a pathological lier. He's so caught up in this lie, he can't remember the truth. I think Manti and Snooki should go bowling Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 Good thing, my Panthers are pretty set at linebacker. The state of NC has enough people already that are shortbus material, we dont need anymore Quote
scrutch Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Ain't no way this Tuiasosopo character is telling the truth (hah! ya think!). I listened to those vmail messages. Thats a girl. Two possible scenarios in my book... 1. Tuiasosopo is lying to protect the real girl's identity in this scam. 2. If I'm wrong and the vmail IS Tuiasosopo, then HE is the pathological liar with a very unhealthy obsession for Manti. HE is the one lying to cover up his own deep dark obsessions. He is a very disturbed and twisted individual. Manti is telling the truth. He is NOT gay. He is the victim. Quote

A buddy of mine made the comment of, wonder what his awareness will be on the next Madden game, negative 100. 1 Quote

A buddy of mine made the comment of, wonder what his awareness will be on the next Madden game, negative 100. I guess my post makes be look like another naive country bumpkin but I stand by my opinion. If that ends up putting egg on my face, I can live with that. I just call them like I see them. I live 20 minutes from campus, I have read everything about this since it first broke and none of the other wild scenarios make any sense. As bizarre as this is, I refuse to believe anyone in Manti's shoes could pull this scam off for that long. It only makes sense for Tuiasosopo (and company) to be the perp. But this is ONLY my opinion and I'm sure it stinks just like everyone else's. Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The only reason I made my comment was that you knew so much about it. I am sure you guys here that everyday out there. Quote

It's all good. Oh, did you hear tonight's latest update on the story? http://www.brobible.com/sports/article/manti-teo-tino-tuiasosopo-lennay-kekua Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 26, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 26, 2013 I gotta admit, I really didn't care much about this story to begin with. Seems like his teammate is either a jerk or has mental issues. And now with the latest twist...I'm out. Don't care anymore. It doesn't affect me whatsoever, so I've moved on. Quote

mrmacwvu1 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Do these people not work or is all they do fish dance play small guitars and play jokes. Come to think of it. I am thinking of moving. Quote
