These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.I can guarantee you, unequivocally, I won't feel an ounce of remorse over laughing at this. Ever.

Andre Rison on Line 1. Bernie Kosar on Line 2 ... If Te’o really is the soft and trusting lamb that Swarbrick made him out to be, can we fast-forward ten years to the story about how he blew all his money on some failed restaurant, car dealership or alpaca farm?
Fine, so I can get him up to 40%, but you didn’t hear it from me ... Oh, by the way, Manti, I represent Nigeria’s recently deposed Minister of Agriculture, who’s looking to find a way to hide a budget surplus. He needs to deposit $20 million in a bank account and he’ll let you keep 30%. Just e-mail over your latest bank statements, account numbers and passwords and he’ll deposit the funds right away.
:biggrin:And if you reply in the next ten minutes, you’ll get an Xbox, too! ... Manti, congratulations! You’ve won an iPad! It’s free! We just need you to cover the shipping and handling. Just type in your credit card and the three digit pin on the back and it’ll be sent out immediately!

from what I heard this morning from a lawyer of Mike and Mike there are no criminal charges unless they extorted something of value by doing this. There could be civil lawsuit for emotional damage.Are there any possible criminal charges that could come if he was in on the hoax? Anyone know?
I know 'impersonating a cop' is illegal. I'll have to google to see if 'impersonating a girlfriend' is...Are there any possible criminal charges that could come if he was in on the hoax? Anyone know?
Number 9................number 9....................number 9..................In a related story, Paul McCartney is, in fact, still alive. (If you get this I have no doubt you're smiling right now).
This best case scenario of mind-boggling naïveté does not hold up under scrutiny. He still lied. He could have said, months ago, that the relationship was of correspondence and phone conversations, and that he looked forward to meeting her in person. He didn't. Now, Notre Dame is officially going along with the "Teo is a victim" idea, and trying to revise history. They should just say they are conducting an investigation, and will not comment until later. All the lies are going to be unfolded, and lying to cover up lies makes it worse.Same. Manti's best case scenario is that he was completely fooled and is thus probably the most gullible human being ever for not meeting his "girlfriend" in person for 3 years. I think that case is extremely unlikely because what college age guy (putting aside his lofty status) doesn't at some point want some physical contact. The jury is obviously still out on what role he may have played, but there is no denying at a minimum, he knew on December 6 with the phone call, but still had it discussed on December 8 and then waited about 3 weeks to inform ND (remember how quickly Marcell Dareus came in about the Miami trip thing and how quickly our staff worked to figure everything out).
With all the bad that hasn't stuck on ND (kid in the tower; rape allegations), karma comes around at some point.
I like your thoughts waaaay better over here on the Football board.The thing about imaginary girlfriends is that they're pretty easy to break up with. No resistance or awkwardness whatsoever. Why you gotta go and kill her?
I think he has mental issues either way, because if he is the victim here then he is far too dumb to be a successful NFL MLB. How are you supposed to read an offense if you can't figure out whether your girlfriend is real?
I can't wait to see how this plays out.
How sad. Your insight is amazing.These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.
