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.

Any word on who the Bills sent there. Hopefully not Nix. He thinks QBs are imaginary as...

This is fantastic news. All we need now is Miami to sign Vick, but that would never happen.

How does he articulate with that in there and when does he spit? It's not like he's out on a baseball field.

Hmmmm. Any way to tell exactly who has been posting in this thread and how many times they have been?

Are you being sarcastic with that line about Fitz? I certainly hope so. While few people actually do think that, it would have made for a better case in saying two 1st rounders plus an early 2nd rounder were the main reason behind being the least sacked team in the NFL. To me, I don't exactly know how to explain the success of our (now past) OL. Fitz only played a minor role though. For the sake of our future success, I'm going to hope it was due to personnel and had little to do with coaching.

I don't think people are putting shame on T'eo. It's just that this story satisfies our morbid curiosity. And it would satisfy it even more if he was in on it. It's better than a 48 Hours Mystery. Sure, it at the expense of a real person, but we're only human. And do we really want him to have been a victim of such a scheme? Maybe I'm weak, but if it was me who got duped in such a manner, my life would be in shambles right now. Having to go through the pain of having a loved one die (actually 2), then only to find out it was all fake much later? I would probably become royally pissed at the end stage, but at first I would probably be a mess.

This story is far from dead. It could easily be put to rest if Ronaiah would come forward and give his side of the story. Until then we're only reading one. This "friend" who supposedly was told by Ronaiah that it was all a hoax actually told Deadspin that he, this "friend" thought that T'eo was in on it. So, this is far from over, especially with ND's pseudo-investigation.

Rusty would be a good dog's name.

Crediting this guy for Petersons success if like crediting McCoy for Manning's success. Wait, people are doing that. I wonder about the sacks allowed. Hmmm. 2011. #1 Buffalo Bills. #11 Tampa Bay Bucs. 2010: #14 Bills, #18 Vikings 2009: #28 Bills, #18 Vikings. Do I sense a trend here? What was the reason for the meteoric rise of our OL, personnel or coaching?

D'Alesandris couldn't have been better than is guy.

I read about half of it. Way too long. I'm still baffled on how this could have happened. How could this girl have been so intimate with him? She basically sacrificed any social life she had (by talking every night, all night) just to continue this ruse? Talk about commitment, unless she truly developed feelings for him, but didn't want to tell him what she had really been doing so killed herself off. And who was the brother that T'eo kept talking to? Couldn't have been Ronaiah because he would have recognized his voice. And why did she sell the lie of her existence to other people? Sure, to make it more believable, but then she'd have to start remember what part to play with who. And people continue bringing up this Catfish show. I've never seen it. But are the fake relationships on there even 10% as complex as this one and do they last 4 years? I'm sure the real fun will start once the lawyers get involved and lawsuits start popping up. So far we've only heard one side of this story and from one directly involved.

But Leodis's downfall has been due his lack of brains. Like that time against NE when he brought a kick/punt out of the end zone and fumbled. Dumb.

If you're going to point your finger at Lovie not being hired, you're going to have to also point your finger at the person who fired him and be prepared to accept their reasoning. If you look at the only other coach that was previously fired (Reid), you'll see a much better resume.

It could have though. Teams likely know that the Bills are likely going to target him now. So, if teams 1-7 secretly had the urge to snacht him in the 2nd, they're going to have to address it now before 8th pick or possibly kiss him goodbye.

I thought that the Rooney Rule had been a success? What, one bad year and people are crying foul? I think the real racists are the brass in NYC. http://www.lasentinel.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3056:rooney-rule-a-total-success-for-black-coaches-in-the-nfl&catid=106&Itemid=196 http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/nfls-rooney-rule-has-boosted-minority-coaches-and-general-managers/1211219

Reverse Stockholm syndrome I see. Yeah, I know. But if one really did have drug dealers after them, why would like choose a long, painful death (with a bone marrow transplant added in there as a get out of jail card) as a way to evade them?
