Even if he releases the actual records I won't believe him.
how would teo be able to make a spreadsheet of hundreds of hours of phone calls without the actual phone records?
if he had the actual records, why not release them?
if he was talking to this internet "girlfriend" who actually was an internet "boyfriend" for hundreds of hours, how is that not further proof that teo was maintaining a charade to avoid being outed as Yag because he was scared after his parents and whoever else beat a bible against his head for his entire upbringing and infused him with the idea that being Yag is a sin or whatever they teach?
I'll ask you as well, please explain what you believe happened.
see the second part of post #747 in conjunction with post #749.
AU, I don't think anyone has to offer up an alternate explanation to suspect Teo's story, and his delivery of it, plows through the boundaries of common sense. I have no idea what's going on, but his story's ridiculous.
there's a lot more skepticism than sarcasm up there but here's what i think. now, i do have an open mind and am willing to be persuaded otherwise by a different explanation that makes sense. i'm not expecting much sense, but just something that approaches the realm of normal behavior. plus, i haven't read much about it so my understandiing of the facts may be limited. that being said, here's what i think.
first, having gone to college and knowing the mindset of a heterosexual person in his early twenties and so on, teo's story is the dumbest story i've ever heard, bar none. noah's arc makes more sense.
also, knowing how religion can fuck people's brains up when it represses their natural instincts, i think that teo is a homosexual. unfortunately for him, he was brought up mormon and then went to a catholic university where he is taught from his earliest formative years that being Yag is a sin. as with people like larry craig (see post 749) and rick santorum and other religious closeted homosexuals, this creates a tremendous cognitive dissonance situation. the fact that he is a star football player only exacerbated the problem. in order to deal with it, teo had to pretend to be straight. so, he made up this girlfriend. and the rest is history.
Yes.
So, you think the talked to a person who he thought was a WOMAN on the phone for hundreds of hours because he was Yag...because I'm not sure how that makes sense. Or do you think that he didn't actually talk to someone on the phone and he completely made it up?

So it's impossible to believe that someone was duped by another person in an online relationship? A phenomenon which is so common nowadays that they have both a documentary and a TV show which specifically cover this topic? And many of these stories commonly involve the fake person dying of a tragic death or having some other tragic event, exactly like the Te'o story. This is your contention?
no he was talking to his boyfriend and at no point thought he was a woman.

They just released voice mails of the guy talking on the phone and impersonating a woman's voice...that doesn't jive with your theory.
like ND hasn't had a week to make fake phone records, voicemails, etc?? i wont believe another thing that comes out in terms of evidence

i'd need to hear more than one released voice mail to believe he was fooled for hundreds of hours. how does- talking to a dude thinking it's a girl, and you're girlfriend, you've never seen or tried to see before- make any sense under any circumstances other than doing your best to stay in the closet? i don't think one voicemail released now cures that irregularity.
Ahh, it's a conspiracy. I got it. And all the people who corroborate his story who are not related to ND or Te'o in any way are also getting paid off, right? I got it.
It was multiple voice mails

exactly. If you believe those are real voicemails I've got a bridge to sell you my friend.
Is the award voting closed already because I think we have a up-in-comer to Homer of the Year in Au_Domer
Asking people to come up with a coherent story in light of the evidence is homerish.

You can't be serious. There are a couple handfuls of coherent stories that make sense. The story that they are choosing to pedal off as the truth is he least coherent one of all if you ask me. It's full of holes and unasked/unanswered questions. All of the following could make more sense than the story they are giving us.
he is Yag and this is all a furious effort to stop the truth from ememerging
He is devoutly religious and didn't want to go through the Tebow I'm a virgin treatment so this was all concocted.
This was entirely made up to gain media attention for a heisman campaign and it spiraled way out of cocontrol
Any of the above are much easier to believe than the story he is officially giving IMO. Obviously the story he is sticking to is the one that his panel of professional PR team thought would LEAST hurt his chance at making NFL millions.
What is the hole in the story that Te'o was catfished? What damning piece of evidence exists?
i would refer you back to post #771. all, or at least some, of that would need to make sense, among other things, to believe teo was duped. there are no holes in his story so much as it's just one big black hole with nothing that makes any sense.

Really? We are now on page 20 of this thread and its spilling over with inconsistencies in this story.
