Te'o

Let's not let Notre Dame itself off the hook here. They knew about the whole situation in late December and let the situation continue for three more weeks.

there was an interview after her 'death' where he mentioned the support of her family

Then that settles it.

I will admit that this is what I was thinking. It makes a lot more sense than the rumor of garnering sympathy for Heisman votes.

He may well be like Lance armstrong said "I'M A FLAWED CHARACTER" When you have celebrity status they call it everything accept what it really is. Lance Armstrong should have said I'm a person who never played by the rules----I'm a liar---I'm a a cheat---and I'm a worthless individual for what I have done to his foundations. Let's fac eit before he done with all the sob stories he going to make out like he is a hero. Like OJ write his sorry ass off the media highs and let him suffer.

Just like Barry Bonds, you have to be a little starry-eyed to have ever believed that either one was clean.

There's a difference between someone who lies and someone who cheats. I wouldn't put him in the same bucket as Lance Armstrong or Roger Clemens.

I dont know if Te'o made up the lie to get Heismann votes...or maybe he just had a fantasy that he lied about that ultimately grew beyond his control? I dont know. I dont care. It small potatoes compared to the cheaters.

pitiful

You're right. He's not a cheater.

A. He's just not very smart and was duped. This seems unlikely. As mentioned above, he is star player. He could get all the lady friends he wanted and could have surely met his fake lady friend for some intimacy had he wanted to. And, why wouldn't he want to.

B. He's gay and this was some ruse. It's sad that society would force him to do this and make him feel like this was necessary.

C. He had a bevy of lady friends to fornicate with on campus and made up the fake lady friend symptomatic of some sort of personality disorder.

Saw an interview yesterday with an NFL running back that said he actually met this so called non existant girlfriend.
