when was the car wreck supposedly? was that last years' heisman-vote getting effort?

Mistakes were made!!!!!

We've pretty much gotten to the point where real life is more comedic than the Onion. We are now to the point where we don't need the Onion. We simply have real life.

I buy antitrusts take on the situation, that's all I'm saying. Since Te'O's the only one who really knows what went on, he needs to come clean, until then it's all about the rumours!!

lol

i'm all for comedic real life. one thing that got me was when i read that teo's dad 'adds color to stories'. in other words, he likes to make up stuff...i guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
and i agree with the sportswriter who said the longer teo stays mum, the worse it looks.
i said yesterday that anti's thought is plausible-but when one adds in all the added drama and accompanying attention from si and others, well it makes the motive that much more interesting. maybe multiple motives? maybe they decided to embellish once they got started? dunno. hell, the sky's the limit when one is inventing a person and story. nice touch, killing her off the same day as granny. that's a good sense of timing and adding to the tragicomedy of events.

and i guess everyone has seen the new meme, replacing tebowing and eastwooding? now it's teoing. various pictures of you with your made up g/f.
