I am really looking forward to the reaction of media & fans of whatever team drafts this guy.

His talents aside, this circus will follow him for his career.

Right Ray Lewis?

going on Dr. Phil was a MAJOR mistake for him…

Dr. Phil emasculates men all day long every day to fit his weekday afternoon soccer Mom demo….

there was zero upside for his career doing this…

What career? This should do wonders for him if he wants to be famous and someday appear on a reality show with other once-famous losers.

I doubt Manti is as dumb as it appears. I doubt he is as innocently naive either. He started gaining national attention during the heisman buildup. Scrutiny was coming to bear on his personal life and that is something he likely did not want addressed. The most likely scenario (IMHO) is that they made up a story to cover up a gay relationship and that story got out of hand. All the rest is simply trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube.

Only the weak minded and gullible believe the Notre Dame PR machine story that Te’o was completely hoaxed and innocent. They did the right thing and instructed Te’o to just deny everything and enough weak people will believe it. The smart public is just annoyed that he lied and continues to lie with Notre Dame’s help.

What I’d like to ultimately understand is what Tuiasosososososopo had hoped to gain in duping Te’o for such a long period of time. It doesn’t sound like he had extorted any money from Te’o or anything else of a legal nature. Did he just want 15 minutes of notoriety out of it?

This guy is not right in the head. He is an obsessed stalker who could easily become a predator.

As for Tuiasosopo, the village called for you. They want their idiot back.

The funny part is that once this guy is drafted, instead of 32 Fan Bases teeing up on him, it will be 31 and one group defending him. I hope its Pit or SF

I don’t get why everybody is making such a big deal out of the fact that Te’o is probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Te’o is clearly very manipulable, I think that is a great trait in a football player – it means that they are very coachable. Coaches are going to be able to get him to do whatever they want.

By the way, am I the only one who hears Ed McMahon whenever I say “Te’o” in my head?

Tuey is gay. Manti is not. Manti should have kept this fake girlfriend to himself. I had a “friend” online. We talked on the phone, email, etc. I never saw a picture of her. She could have been fake. Who knows? Guess what, I didn’t go around telling everyone she was my girlfriend!!!!

In my view the only thing left for T’eo, if he IS gay, is to “come out” and promote himself as some kind of bad-ass gay NFL role model.

Agree with the post asking that you you folks stop calling that criminal a doctor.

So, this guy lied to Manti Te’o, apparently for over a year, and now that the fraud is over, he apparently wants to use TV interviews about it to advance his career.

Of course, given he’s the worst kind of pathlogical liar – the kind who lies, repeats the lie, then reinforces the lie – how can we be remotely sure that he’s telling the truth now? Simply put, we can’t – once a liar, always a liar.

I’m not confused, I’m just sick that this guy gets to stand in front of the cameras and basically gloat over willfully deceiving someone, and is now willing to use that deception to advance himself in the public eye. He’ll probably wind up with some kind of “punk’d” reality TV show that most people will say is really horrible but will tune in to watch anyway, because we have some kind of fascination with celebrities, even those who have done nothing at all to deserve that status.
