Deadspin is saying Te'o's girlfriend's death was a hoax created for publicity

rhm54 · Jan 18, 2013

Haven't seen this anywhere in the thread so if it is there I apologize but I just found out about this.

Apparantly that call he received on December 6th was the fake Lennay, and she said she had to fake her death to get away from drug dealers

Doesn't this make it a double negative and she is actually real?

Ah ya....the real gf looks very similar to the fake gf. And nice of him land her almost immediately after the fake gf died.

oh what a tangled web we weave....

Who knows where this is going and where it will end up? I'm not sure if I even want to know.

This is truly beyond belief and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Sad for college sports.

The only sad thing is that, for whatever reason, people need these human interest pieces like the story of Te'o's girlfriend as opposed, to you know, watching just for the sport.

People look at me funny when I say I couldn't care less about a player's off the field actions. Stories like this just reaffirm my stance.

Well, Yes and Yes. What with mythical being mythical and all.

It's become overexposed. I agree I don't need to see all of this blather about personal interest stories. I liked it better when all I thought about was how awesome the players were because of their talent on the field/court/etc. I didn't know or care what kind of vehicles they drove, who they dated, or any of that stuff.

CrimsonNagus · Jan 18, 2013

Yep, I agree with Diamond, sports media needs to go back to just reporting the on field action, we don't need to hear about the dorm room action.

The only fluff needed are those low angle shots straight up the cheerleaders skirts, that camera man has the best job!

It is hard to believe that this whole episode will not affect Te'o in the NFL draft. What team would want to take a chance on someone who obviously has a mental problem.

Not necessarily. The last fake only eliminates the previous fake not the first fake. Ya follow?

Please, Cam still went #1 after all his crap, doubt this will even make a dent as long as he does good at the combine. In fact, I bet he remains quite about this whole thing until after the draft, if he ever publicly addresses it. The only thing he'll do by talking now is dig a bigger hole so, he mind as well just wait to talk until he cashes his check.

I read one great line from an NFL scout that was basically, "We'll draft people with criminal records, but we will not touch those who flat out lie."

This whole thing makes our loss to Texas A&M easier to handle. Suppose we had won that game, would Johnny Football still win the Heisman?

That ship sailed long ago, when ABC just had to do "Up close and personal", to get women to watch the Olympics.

Like beating the stinking cheating Commies wasn't incentive enough.

Can't be a coincidence that ABC and ESPN are basically the same thing now......no........of course not......nothing to see here people........ignore the giant mouse behind the curtain.
