Count me in Relayer; I hope I have more to do than get involved in this.I guess I'm just not as interested in this whole issue as most. I've read bits of a couple of articles, but I keep finding myself not really caring about any of it.

Yet you've found the time to post on the this thread at least a couple of times! :biggrin2:Count me in Relayer; I hope I have more to do than get involved in this.
In the court of law, it is innocent until proven guilty.And here's the thing - just turn over the records of these eight-hour phone calls and we can discover it.
In other words, here's what happened:Cecil Hurt @CecilHurt This is getting ridiculous RT @eric_adelson: Schaap cited a "typo in the transcript" and Te'o said he was NOT affected in the BCS game.
I think this whole story is one giant typo at this point.
Even that is not TECHNICALLY true or else we could never try anybody. There is at least SOME DEGREE of PROBABLE GUILT assumed by the prosecutor or no trial would happen. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a legal fiction only - it serves no other realistic purpose.In the court of law, it is innocent until proven guilty.
Yes - that is why the press SHOULD be responsible. Somebody ask the late Richard Jewell about this one.In the court of public opinion, it is often guilty until proven innocent,
I misread this at first - I agree with you.especially when there is readily available exculpatory evidence.
All true.If Teo is telling the truth (now), then the phone records can be easily produced. Likewise with the dozen white roses he said he sent. I don't think he can get away with claiming he paid cash, seeing as he's in South Bend, Indiana while her funeral is in California (or was it Hawaii?). If he sent them, there's a record.
That's how we know OJ did it.An innocent person would be chomping at the bit to display proof of innocence. A guilty person hides, hopes it goes away, and waits for the next media circus to draw attention away.
ESPN is as guilty as Te'o for creating fake identities!The nation's best defender also said the hoax affected his play in the BCS national championship, a 42-14 loss to Alabama in which he performed poorly.
Haven't watched since the day after the NCG. Read more closely. This guy was a ESPN reporter being interviewed on Weekend Saturday Morning on NPR, which do listen to regularly...For someone who doesn't watch ESPN much at all, you sure seem to watch ESPN a lot
This is a very good observation. From his false emoting in interviews to the other players saying that he'd get them to come and watch on TV "because he got a kick out of it," it all spells master con man...Some of you people who keep wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt need to review some of the facts. You are going to be easy marks for con men.
I know, he seems so nice. They all do. There's a lot of people out there who seem really nice, genuine, and caring, but inside they are really enjoying the hold they have over people, and love keeping people fooled. I've known a few people like this and it took a lot of evidence to convince me what was really going on with them.
Good point. It apparently doesn't inspire him against SEC teams...Finding out it may have been a hoax weeks before affected his play negatively against Bama, but hearing of her death the day of, whichever game it was, affected his game positively?
That's just one of the "unbelievables" involved here...I see him being stupid enough to fall for this hoax if he's stupid enough to admit to a national reporter it didn't cross his mind to go see his girlfriend of 3 years in the hospital while she was in a coma and battling leukemia.
If the media wants to say he was duped, they better call him out for being an idiot for that comment. What guy does that? Anytime a significant other gets mad, just say "Hey, I could be Manti Te'o and never see you in the hospital."
