    The guy was on TV this morning saying he was gay and had a crush on Manti.

    Now if I was Manti I would be pretty uncomfortable having spent countless hours on the phone late at night with this clown.

    Mind you....I am not saying he is a clown for being gay......but he is licentious for pulling such a ruse over an unsuspecting Teo.

    Why would talking to someone who is gay be something of which he should be ashamed? Showing homophobic tendencies it appears.

    I have learned tolerance over the past 30 years. My brother in law is gay and I now see how he is put off by mainstream straight people that for the most part are homophobic until they interact with a gay person and learn that the gay guy is not a threat in any way. They could even introduce you to some pretty amazing fag hags (look it up).

    The next time i see my brother in law, my first three words are going to be: "I get it". I get your distrust of the straight community.

    Didn't Dr Phil flat out say that he thinks this guy is lying about being the female voice on the phone? I read something that he would only do the voice 'off camera' or something and Phil wanted him to do it live on camera..

    I'm sorry, this dude has lied about everything. We know he's solicited other people (including females) to assist him in other hoaxes not related to Te'o.

    As usual, the only pole smoker here is Dave just trying to stir the pot because he can't prove that Tebow is better than John Elway or Peyton Manning or (insert HOF QB here).

    Jeezus Tom comprehension seems to allude you.

    He was talking to a gay man......and believing that the person on the other end of the phone was his girlfriend.

    Big damn difference than just having a conversation with a gay man.

    And I believe there is proof now that their voices were one and the same.

    we know that in the previous hoaxes that he pulled off, he used multiple people including women who were in on it. It took that Ronaiah 2 days and to be hidden from everyone in order to perform the Kekua voice.

    We'll never know all the details. What you're asking me to believe is that, in his biggest hoax to date, that this guy acted entirely alone.. despite the fact that others have come out and said that others were also involved.

    They circled the family wagons for a week. If I had to place a stack of chips on anything, this Ronaiah kid is flat falling on the sword (hold your laughter) to protect the rest of the family members that knew about it and participated in it. I have no direct evidence that they were in on the Te'o hoax, but we do know they were in on the others. Why not this one? Why did it take him multiple chances to get it right? Lets not forget, there were other people who were on the phone with Te'o. No one seems to be talking about them anymore, whoever they were.

    The only person who has had to be truly accountable here in Te'o. No one is asking any tough questions of the perpetrator of the hoax. Even you, Dave, after it's clear that Te'o was a victim here claims that he has something to answer for.. what could that be?

    This is a dead issue.

    It's never been a big issue for me anyway Corey as much as it seems to be for some.

    Let the kid go to the combines and do his best and see how the chips fall.

    If he's straight, gay, confused or whatever doesn't matter.
