What is your problem sir? You're throwing a bunch of facts at me that A) I know, I read the same article you just did and B) aren't really important to what I said. You didn't need a very thorough investigation to know this was all a bunch of nonsense. Notre Dame did some googling and some Lexus searching and figured…

And for all the crying that Swarbrick did over Te'o's lost innocence, Notre Dame has done nothing but distance themselves from him over the last few days. "Well we were going to tell everyone, but TE'O didn't want to. Don't get mad at us! HE'S the weirdo with the fake girlfriend."

Notre Dame knew that Te'o's girlfriend didn't exist on January 4th. They are now having to answer why they didn't say anything. In a sensible world, Notre Dame and Te'o would have released this before Deadspin made Notre Dame look like they're hiding something and it would have minimized the effect on Te'o's…

I know Notre Dame doesn't have a great track record with things like openness, but I am inclined to believe them. If they were able to uncover all this with a google search, surely they knew it would come out.

Athletes pretty much have no choice but to take summer classes if they have any interest in ever graduating. You are limited to 12 hours during the semester your season falls in (in Te'o's case, fall), so you have to make that up some time. Plus football conditioning starts in June.

We're not talking about the funeral sir. Yes, I understand completely that there are major time restrictions on a varsity athlete. But follow the timeline: his girlfriend gets sick with cancer around April/May (not football season, not during spring semester). I am ASSUMING he took summer classes, because you have to…

He's a bit squirrelly on whether he received a phone call from a lady or not, and whether he received a visit from a lady or not in Miami. ESPN is editing stuff off for who knows what reason, and the whole thing is a mess.

Well nothing is as crazy as "Newtown is a hoax-9/11-Moon Landing/JFK" stuff, but I get your point. It really is hard to believe Te'o would be on board with this from the get go. But considering how bizarre the known truths of the case are, there's very little that we could learn in the next few days that would shock…

His story is patently nonsense. It never occurred to him to go visit his sick girlfriend? He can't carve out a weekend during the school year? As folks pointed out on twitter, he wasn't even in school for part of the time his "girlfriend" was allegedly in the hospital because it was summer between semesters. Nothing…

I think Te'o told Notre Dame one story, they believed him, and now he's changing his story to the press. Everyone has been posting quotes of him talking about his dead girlfriend after he already knew she wasn't real, and he's changing his tune to try to make that all go away. Notre Dame and Swarbrick are being made…

You mean the "80% sure" that looks more and more true every time we get more info?

Look, Te'o is claiming a woman is involved in this plot. That woman has to be produced or his story goes to pot. Considering how outlandish this is getting, I am really struggling to believe him. WHERE IS THIS MYSTERY WOMAN.

This is what happens when you turn control of Universities over to MBAs who want to protect the bottom line above everything else. It's happening across the country. People wondered how on Earth Penn State could cover up child sexual abuse, well here you go. People are willing to cover anything up these days "to…

I think trying to decide Te'o's motivation will send you down a rabbit hole of insanity. But the idea that Te'o is purely a victim and never mislead anyone is NONSENSE. He's told too many lies and there are too many holes in that story to believe.

First of all: I'd rather be a douchebag journalist that a completely worthless journalist, aka, Pat Forde and a host of others. I single Forde out because he loves these sob stories, the Te'o one in particular, and is the most vocal journalist to jump on board the "TE'O IS TOTALLY BLAMELESS" bandwagon. It seems being…

Because Pat Forde has willingly swallowed a line of horseshit...again. Te'o's current story, which the University is backing up, is so incredibly preposterous that only an abject fool would believe it.

He lied repeatedly about meeting the girl and he knows the perpetrator. That's some reason enough to cast doubt on his protestations of complete innocence. Considering that he's basically hid from this story and is refusing to answer WHY he mislead reporters about physically meeting his non existent girl friend, you'd…

Look, there's no way around it: Manti Te'o has told lies to the press and to his family about physical meetings with his non-existent girlfriend. That doesn't prove he was in on her creation, but it does mean he has some explaining to do if he wants us to believe him when he says he's a victim.

I keep coming back to that same conclusion as well.

Raising money for cancer is goddamned the easiest thing in the world. NOBODY likes Cancer, and EVERYONE has been touched by it. Please don't pretend that if it wasn't for Lance Armstrong that none of the people who donated to Livestrong would donated to another cancer charity. That's ridiculous.
