Elaborate on the pics please. These the perps?

The male is supposedly the perp behind Lennay and the other personas connected to the scandal.

The woman at the funeral is allegedly a photo he pulled off the internet of someone that he said was the sister of Lennay (the photo is suppose to be at Lenney's grave).

Ronaiah was apparently catfishing several people in addition to Manti.

TMZ did the story.

Jan tells us Ronaiah was with a little girl during the USC meeting who they called Pookah -- and together, they explained how Lennay's sister couldn't come down to visit, so U'ilani sent them instead. Jan says Ronaiah "made it seem as if he was a member of Lennay's family."

After Jan and Ronaiah took the picture together -- Jan says Ronaiah began to act paranoid ... and told her, "Make sure you don't post this photo online."

Stanford football official twitter has taken down that tasteless comment.. apparently someone came down with the hammer after an eager employee put his common sense to sleep for the night.. still very embarrassing on their part

What would be the tactical advantage to waiting by Condon? Then and now?

Besides blackmail, anyone have any ideas?

Keep in mind, this is the same douche-knuckle who f-ed up the Brady Quinn contract talks when he was drafted. Hold out.....hold out......hold out.......miss half of training camp......hold out somemore....... ok, NOW!!! Oh, hi Brady. We'd like to introduce you to our starting quarterback, Derek Ander"Ception". The guys is a certified moron.

ESPN took a huge swipe at Te'o (on the field):

Would you want your favorite team to draft T'eo in the first round?

-Yes

-No, because of talent level (32% voted here)

-No, because of character issues



SMH. The last two weeks have made me feel like I'm on a hidden camera show. I may need a vacation this weekend. Don't worry Johnny, I'll bring back a lacy souvenir in a ziplock bag to "seal in the freshness"

I don't want to revisit this, but I think it is at least worth thinking about the fact that it took police a week to track down a football player (with name in-hand) after a sexual assualt claim, whereas it took ND all of 5 hours after the deadspin story to go to bat for Teo over a fake girlfriend.

Of course, they have known about things since December, so maybe they had something prepared already and had to use it earlier than they thought, hence the speed of their defense. Also, the law is not involved yet in Teo's case, whereas things are complicated when it comes to University/police cases.

I believe that Teo got catfish'd, but again it is interesting to see the speed with which they defend Teo over a fake girlfriend, compared to how long it took to find a football player amidst a sexual assault claim.

Keep in mind that the police said that Seeberg's story kept changing..... so they were probably also trying to get a clearer picture of what, exactly, her story was. That could explain the delay, also.

Internet & phone calls--for a young man very inexperienced with INTIMACY of any kind with the opposite sex---a religiously rooted lack of intimacy that many do not understand, makes it highly plausible that he could fall into "love " with this first girl he was truly intimate with about his feelings.

Especially when the hoaxsters have a real deep understanding of the polynesian mind set and likely the morman mindset as well-- also remember the whole POINT of the catfish formula is to drag you in slowly until all of a sudden you are neck deep emotionally into the developing trauma's that are happening to the person you have grown close to.

This is a very clever and very disturbing method to manipulate over the net.

Spot on in my opinion. Reps

Why is that a swipe? Clearly he looked outclassed vs Alabama? Its just a poll.

What would your poll look like?

Would you take Teo for you time?

Yes! He rocks!
No! Rainbows.
No! Lollipops?

Their official twitter had a comment along the lines of "Taylor TD vs. Notre Dame was real though, right?".. not exactly word for word, but making a reference to our goal line stand, and how it was a "real" TD.. pretty tasteless from an official twitter feed for the university's athletic program

Team needs aside, there is absolutely no way anyone could objectively compile a list of 32 players more deserving of first round status.

I agree he played himself out of the top 10, maybe even top 20, but cmon. I'm not factoring in this ordeal, because we are talking simply from a talent standpoint.

The guy is not a freaking cyborg. Of course his play was somewhat affected by the weight of this saga in the title game.

I actually agree with that to some extent. If you take Te'o in the first round, it's for a bigger reason than his football ability. He's shown the ability to be a phenomenal leader and someone you'd die to have in your locker room. There's no doubting his ability to lead a defense.

However, on an actually football field against Alabama, a de facto NFL team (at least when compared to the rest of CFB), Te'o looked (relatively) small, slow, and missed a lot of tackles. I'm not saying that one game should destroy his draft stock, and I still think he's a first-round talent, but I am saying that the Bama game brought up some concerns about him playing against top-level competition, and every offense in the NFL is bigger and faster than Alabama's.

That being said, I'd be thrilled if the Browns selected him with their first round choice.

If Te'o didn't continue to lie about all of this stuff nobody would talking about this today.

He is the one to blame for a lot of this.

The TV show is the same thing and there are tons of these people. Manti getting roped in like this doesn't sound so crazy when you watch a few of these stories.

The thing i can't get over is why Manti wouldn't have used Skype or Facetime?

I mean you love this girl that lives far away, but you never considered using modern technology so you could talk in real time and see her face?

It's just hard to buy his story the more i think about it, plus the Thamel interview it sounded like he was making stuff up on the spot.

Im sad about it, hate this for college football.

Except that this whole fiasco has provided a convenient explanation for writing off his strange no-show in the NCG.

Do you know what he lied about? What he knew and when? If not, hold judgment until the whole story is out.

all manti needs to do is show a reciept/creditcard statement for the flowers he supposedly sent to the funeral.

if he can t me it shows he thoguth this was a real person and was 1000% duped.

if he cant or won't (if asked) that could be a problem.

lastly hat TMZ link clearly shows that Ronnie Tuisiasopo is behind ALL of this.

where is this guy. also -im glad that "Jan" (another one of his marks) had the goods on him. if reporters, and rakemuckers are on is trail i cant wait till they get a hold of him.

i joked this was a usc thing (see post from yesterday) that this was the "Revenge of Troy".

I'm beginning to think it could be....

You all have headaches and I know we all are confused and wondering WHAT THE HECK! But in the end


WHO CARES?! What difference does it make? So he lied. He didn't do anything illegal.
Theres no way he planned this from the start. Theres just no way. The worst option that is possible is that she died, she was more of just a friend and he really exaggerated and embellished the story. Whippy whippy.
This has NO affect on our personal lives and I just hope the best for Manti and his family.
