    Not to mention he said he had met her before. I just cant buy this for more than a millisecond.
    Here's my thinking...and I'll reiterate that if he was not in on the whole faking the death thing than I will still lose respect for him for being a gullible cyber dater...but yes, I think it's possible that he "falls in love" with this girl through the online relationship. I would never do that. And I think people that do are not necessarily right in the head. But I think it's possible. At the same time, he's a major college football player and either can't get ***** the normal way or doesn't want it. So he's embarrassed that he's in this online relationship and lies to people saying that he actually met her so they wouldn't make fun of him for having an online girlfriend.

    Or he was just totally in on it. I'm going with that.

    yea, the only way this story makes sense is that te'o was in it and it was a cover-up for something else (gay?). i just can't buy all the national pub that he did for an online relationship

    Very possible. And if that's the case...I will agree that he is the biggest piece of shit human walking the planet.

    But as a Notre Dame fan, I'm trying to hope that he's just stupid.

    Well this is the weirdest story I've heard in a while. Fucked up.

    At this point, I'd actually be okay with him being gay.

    Think about college football "saints" the last several years....Tressel, JoePa. Both absolute frauds. And Te'o may be next. SMH

    may actually have to tune into sportscenter for the first time in forever

    They did so much skinning on his knob. My guess is they will try to protect him and say he was the victim.

    That's ridiculous that you'd have to be "ok" with anyone being gay. Who GAF about sexual orientation, you're part of the problem.

    Relax. I'm not a homophobe and have no problem with him or anyone else being gay. I probably should have worded it differently. If he is in fact gay that at least explains this to an extent. That is what I meant by that.

    Worded differently would have helped. Still not sure how being gay helps explain a massive cover up by ND (at min for over a month) and Te'o's lying.

    Also I still haven't read anything about the money that was donated in her honor and the fake foundation set up.

    yea, him being the first "outted" active athlete of a major sport would be a pretty big deal. he'd look a whole helluva better, however, for being gay and himself than whatever this is with the dead gf hoax

    Would it be received well by many folks in society if Te'o was openly gay and in a relationship with another man? What would the questions be like each week for him? Of course, now the questions will be aplenty. Some people are private about their sexuality and as a football player I'm sure there's added pressure to be "manly." If it was a boyfriend who passed I would be more understanding in this case. Just have to see but it definitely is not looking good at this point.

    I can agree with that. Would take a helluva lot of courage though.

    attending a homophobic university certainly adds some pressure as well.

    There isn't a boy or girl at all. Only lies and a pathetic cover up by ND. They've known about this at min for close to a month but kept quiet? Also still have yet to hear ANYone mention the thousands of dollars at min donated in her honor based on a lie. This whole thing is weird beyond belief.

    At a university which prides itself on Christianty, care and compasion, he should have been more comfortable to be openly gay (if in fact he is). Being gay isn't an excuse for what he and the university did.

    I might agree, until he twisted a fake online relationship to propel him to be a media darling, and cheating thousands of dollars out of hard working american's wallet. Guy's a grade A POS.

    Man this is as weird as the Penn State saga

    We'll find out the truth at some point. I don't know what that truth is and don't claim to. Maybe you guys are right, maybe not.
