2012-13 NFL Divisional Weekend: Ngata'ing the Competition

[Xajii]

wait, didn't te'o say several times he actually met her and shit? like she came to hawaii to visit him? NOT GOOD ENOUGH BRO

yeah this kids story has more holes than the packers defense

[archibaldcrane]

It would be kind of a shame if Lennay was Manti's "beard" and this is how the first out of the closet major sports American athlete was created.

eh, I think it might be a good jumping off point really, the fact that someone would have had to go to such lengths because they didn't feel safe in being who they really were in thee programs.. I dunno.

the gay factor seems the most plausible being that he's mormon going to ND the biggest problem with it is why did he kill her off why not just break up with her

AHAHAHAHA

scroll down to the final episode description for season 1:

Well, if he broke up with her then she could be, ya know, sought after for an interview or whatever. Not saying killing her off doesn't leave breadcrumbs, but if you pull it off at least she's gone.

[Demosthenes11]

there's no way this would be a good thing if it is a gay issue.

People don't like feeling exploited, and when millions buy into a bullshit story that you told so well and got so much sympathy for, people ain't gonna like the lies

[Tweek]

he did this for Heisman sympathy votes and soon this terrible catfish excuse will blow up in his face and he'll have to then come out and say ok i lied about the catfish story to cover up the fact that i'm gay to save face he will then live his whole life as a closeted straight man

[archibaldcrane]

"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.

"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.

"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life.

"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been.

"In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.

"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."

BUT WHO WAS PHONE

[Bregor]

i disagree. ffxiv is a good game, but donkey kong is the best game ever.

Got me, lol

Also, new thread tonight. Pete Carrolol? FFXIV? Te'o? TRENT just because fuck all? Tune in to find out.

[archibaldcrane]

If he seriously did get catfish'd, this cannot end until it is known who the chick was that was talking to him. If he didn't get catfish'd, then that will get exposed and will be awesome all over again.

[Tweek]

like demos pointed out there are more holes than just 'phone'

like his family saying she visited him in Hawaii and shit

[Krandor]

Oddly enough, the only media outlet who even makes a mention of the fact they got played was SI.com. Everyone else so far is just ignoring that apparently the entire sports media world doesn't know how to fact check.

[Tweek]

who has fucking time for fact checking when we live in a world with twitter?

[Demosthenes11]

I seriously can't stop laughing about this whole situation lol

must suck to be him right about now - you literally cant even have a phone

[Melena]

FYI Raiders won't draft him unless he backpedals in under 4.6

[Rhinox]

Let's ask Tweek I hear he's a giant Raiders fan

[Tweek]

McKenzie ain't Al Davis

[Rhinox]

What a scumbag AD
