Yes, and we all know that singing and hitting high notes is the same thing as having an 8 hour conversation. Maybe he sung all his conversations? No friggin way is that a guy. No way. And who keeps voicemails for that long anyway?

Plus, the chances of 2 QBs succeeding on the same team are not independent events. The 2nd QB picked will actually have a lower success rate than he would have had if he was the only QB picked. This is because more resources (practicing with the starters, game time experience) will be given to the first QB taken over the 2nd one. Either way, the chances of finding a successful QB still increase with drafting 2 QBs.

This is absolute crap. Manti couldn't tell if the person was a girl or a guy? There is no way this guy (Manti) is telling the truth. He has know admitted to falsifying this story, albeit "briefly", but how are we really to know when his actual lies started? He admitted to lying, but now he expects us to believe him? Unreal. And who knows how long he was going to continue lying if the media didn't break this story? http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/23/us/teo-hoax-abc/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 There are many reasons why Ronaiah is not talking. Could be guilt. Could be because if he does, he will be forced to admit Manti's role. Or, he was actually having an affair with Manti in the first place. Maybe Manti and his lawyers have told him to keep his mouth shut.

Interesting you think this is such a boring story, couldn't care less for it, but this is your second post (of actually a handful in this thread) about how boring this story is. You then write a dissertation expousing this view. No offense, but that's more pathologic than the people enjoying and posting in this thread. You say you don't, but your action show that you actually care a great deal about this thread/topic.

I think he was talking about Brady trying to intentionally injure Ed Reed with his slide kick.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8871864/manti-teo-acknowledges-lying-first-tv-interview I believe part of this. I don't think we had a part in creating the hoax, but after that, I really don't know where the truth lies.

I just can't quite fathom how someone who made (not earned) $39 million is now broke. That's just incredible to me.

This is the one reason why I don't buy the "he had a horrible line and was running for this life the whole time" argument. He's not going to have a pristine line in the NFL, so he needs to learn to hang tough in the pocket. The last time we heard this excuse was when we drafted Losman. He could make all the throws, but his college success was stifled due to the poor line he played behind. Right.

If he doesn't restructure (big time), I won't shed one tear if we cut him and used his salary to resign Levitre.

Shouldn't this thread be about the Bills having to move down below 8 to grab Nassib? With all the fanfare going on at the Senior Bowl, this might be something we have to do.

Oh, without a doubt. Purple Drank is nothing to scoff at. We'll have to make sure he's no longer on that stuff. That said, maybe the gazillion dollars he earned from his contract is running low. That's a sure fire way to instill the desire to "make a comeback" in these guys.

We could sign him as a fullback.

Geez, the way Nassib is being talked up, I'm wondering if he's even going to make it to 8. I also wonder if Geno's absence is going to drop him out of the #1 QB taken.

All can go except for Wilson, who I believed had a down year due to the misdirection by the Stache. He can have another year to prove he isn't going downhill. But, I still would draft his replacement (or find one in FA) this year.

We need a QB, badly. It would be criminal not to at least bring him in for a look. It's been a while, maybe he decided to grow up.

I'm not sure. I've always known that if something quacks, has webbed feet, and flies, it's likely a duck. At this point, T'eo has done everything wrong. From the point he got that phone call from "Lennay" on Dec 6th, he has not done one single thing right. And, supposedly he had professional advice too, but still F'd everything up. Right after ND did their Google search and his ass was handed to him by Alabama, he should have had Schaap on the phone immediately to give his interview. Instead, he continued to play his ruse right up until his time was up. What exactly was the benefit of both him and ND being silent on this? And if Deadspin sat on this (and ESPN too), he still would have been trying to continue this.

Another possibility in all this, one that I have yet to read, is that Ronaiah & Co thought they were playing a hoax on T'eo, but while technically not "in on it", T'eo knew the hoax was being played on him. T'eo could have then just kept playing along, letting Ronaiah think he was being played, but then turning around and using the situation for his own personal benefit. In this case, even if Ronaiah totally comes clean tomorrow and says he orchestrated the whole hoax, this would still not prove that T'eo didn't know about it. He could have been "in on it" to the extent of playing along the whole time for his own gain, but would not have been "in on it" to the extent of planning and executing the whole fake operation with Ronaiah. One aspect that would support this is T'eo continuous dating of other women while his "girlfriend" was dying of cancer. Who would do such a thing if they were truly being hoaxed?

If I knew a Deadspin article was going to drop at any time, I would have certainly reported it to the school authorities. Interesting thing is the reaction of ND once it was reported to them. Nothing. The extent of their "investigation" was a Google search for Kekau Lennay. Then, silence. And even more interesting was how, even after knowing the Lennay thing was a "hoax", on multiple occasions Manti still referred to his dead girlfriend, Lennay, who died of cancer. It certain is. Well, not on some of us though.

Just another example of the White Man trying to keep the Samoan Man down. Awesome stuff there.

If you know of a fact, but have a slight doubt, do you ever say "80%"? No, you say things like "I'm 99% of this fact". Saying 80% basically is basically giving an opinion, much like yours or mine.

But what has come out? Manti may very well be innocent in all this, but no hard facts have really been confirmed. The only thing we have is Manti's side of the story, which we pretty much had since this story broke. According to Deadspin, that "friend" who said Ronaiah admitted to the hoax also said they thought Manti was in on it too. So, who knows?

Bo Jackson. Can we sign him?

Good read. They sent 15 scouts. Now imagine if every team sent 15. That's 480 people. These must be fairly crowded practices.

Whatever she said, she was absolutely right in every respect.

That so bad.
