Trilby · 01-18-2013, 03:59 AM

um. who is he?

Aliantha · 01-18-2013, 04:58 AM

Yeah, do we have a link to some info maybe? I'm not familiar with this person either.

Big Sarge · 01-18-2013, 05:01 AM

Notre Dame player who was runner up for the Heisman trophy

Aliantha · 01-18-2013, 05:02 AM

Is that football? lol (still none the wiser)

ZenGum · 01-18-2013, 06:22 AM

I have no idea what you are talking about.

glatt · 01-18-2013, 07:18 AM

It was on the front page of our paper today. WTF? Like there's nothing else going on in the world?

I think the only reason it's a "story" is because journalists get to talk about themselves. They love to do that.

Spexxvet · 01-18-2013, 07:58 AM

It's Notre Dame, so I don't care

footfootfoot · 01-18-2013, 08:48 AM

It's like attention whore doping

Nirvana · 01-18-2013, 10:11 AM

Sorry all I forget that it only seems like media saturation when you live 30 miles from campus. {not a fan} grew up around ND football players gah

It was on the front page of the NY times yesterday. This from 2 hrs ago. Pity 21 years old and already a douche.

Why do you think he's a douche Nirvana?

I only heard about the story when it became clear that the death of his girlfriend was not true, not true in many ways. I haven't heard much more beyond that, including the story you linked to. What did he do that you think was wrong? I haven't heard anything in that area.

Nirvana · 01-18-2013, 10:44 AM

A reporter here interviewed him and his parents. Manti Te'o claims now he never met her then why do his parents say he did meet her and they met her and his brother said the same thing? The parents are on tape saying this. Because it was all a hoax to get him publicity and sympathy for the Heisman and other awards and a higher place in the draft? Seriously a football player that does not ever meet his girlfriend? Really then he must be a master baiter!
My theory> this was his beard and he should have found someone real to fill that position.

Spexxvet · 01-18-2013, 10:48 AM

If you've never physically touched someone, they cannot be your boy/girlfriend. I call.

Nirvana · 01-18-2013, 10:52 AM

Flag on the play Spexx?

Yeah, sorry to be boring, but it's all Greek to me.
Damned furriners ruining your thread and all.
