Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

Stop saying he got Catfish.

Because if you seen the movie. After a while Nev Schulman decide to go see who the woman was.

Te'o was talking to this chick for 3 years. She was in a car accident and was dying of cancer. He did not once try to go visit her.

After a while Nev Schulman went to go visit his chick, as Te'o never did when his chick was even dying.

The thing is we don't know Teo. We don't know if the guy is that easy to fool. Maybe the story he fell into was soo good that he just believed it all. Maybe he tried to see her and like in the movie she kept making excuses.

But honestly IDK. Yes he called of lied about it but saying that its impossible that anyone can fall for a hoax like this is stupid. It is possible especially if the hoax was well planned.

A star athlete could get any girl they want on campus, you dont need to find love online. Nothing about this story seems true. Im getting as heated as Stephen A about these naive ass analysts. Lomas Brown gullible ass is old and out of touch.

 

[WhyYouCry]

People keep saying he got catfished. They prank people for 3yrs on that show?

Yes. I think one episode it was 2 years.

So you love a woman over 3 years. She was in a car accident and dying of cancer. You not once try to see her. Also, if she did kept telling him to not visit her, should've that put a light bulb in Te'o head that something was up that she didn't want him to visit her. I think it's stupid to believe his story.

I literally would've been on the phone or online with the face after the 3rd time she told me NOT to visit her.

 

[STAN JONES]

Until he explains his "we met 2 years ago at a stanford game and exchanged #s " and "she visited me in Hawaii" comments he was definitely in on it

Why lie about meeting her if you wasnt in on it?

Exactly.

Also, Te'o is a huge college football star.

Why wouldn't she want to know if she was talking to the real Manti Te'o.

 

[VicMackey415]

Its funny to see all these people mad about to fake gf. Fa real people? nikka care way too much about these people's personal lives. I could give two shyts about this story. If he lied bruh got some mental issues if he got duped then he's not that smart. But either why do people care so fukkin much? He still going to the league and still finna be a millionaire while we still online talkin bout how he lied to us. What he do don't affect none of our lives. People lie about way bigger shyt everyday b.

Sent from frisco via my hoe-la-dex ya bish!!!

Breh you are dumb. Stop

Lol like you know what really happens. No one knows exempt him.

Am I suppose to believe this guy his family, friends, teammates, media with an imaginary friend for 3 years ?

The hoax sounds as crazy as that.


I'm thinking it might be a combination of the 2. But idk it's only A GUESS lol

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

3 years. Top athlete. Crazy story and lie about it. That right there sounds crazy also.

I would be having fun with all them girls on college than have time to build a 3 year crazy lie.

Either way Lie or Catfished. Both reasons are both

 

[WhyYouCry]

I'm on skips sides with this

Yah mad about that than

 

[Easy-E]

I hear you. That's make sense.

This entire story would make sense; if it wasn't for the near-fatal (read that again..."she" was on "her" death bed, fighting for "her" "life"--"she" was dying, before "she" was diagnosed with cancer) car crash. This was all in-between January 2012 and last Sept., when "she" "died."

The cancer diagnosis isn't as fishy. You can still talk, after being diagnosed and keep a loved one updated.

But, you mean to tell me; "she" was giving him detailed info about "her" fighting for "her" "life", about "her" goin' in and out of comas ("she" supposedly only able to come out with the sound of his voice), etc?

Dude never tried to call a doctor/nurse and ask about "her"?

If he was in enough love to believe EVERYTHING "she" said, you'd think he be "in love" enough to say; "I don't care what you say, I'm comin' to the hospital to see you."

Then, I could bring up 5 other things that make little to no sense, in the case he's being honest.

Why lie about meeting her if you wasnt in on it?

um, if you're embarrassed that you're in a relationship over the nets with a girl you haven't met for 2.5 years, why wouldn't you lie about how you met? plenty of people used to lie about meeting someone in a real life situation because they're embarrassed they met them on the net

looking at dude, i'd honestly believe he was a sheltered, religious lame who coulda got suckered, too bad he's an idiot

Lol i don't know how to respond to that. I don't know him maybe he was that stupid or it was all publicity.

If it was publicity than smh. That would be a stupid way get it.
