How in the hell did you draw all of that from my comment?! The only thing I said is that the show is BS, which by MANY expert accounts, is true. I never said that all Amish people follow every rule of their religion completely or that they don't do anything illegal. The notion of this mafia in the community and a lot of the stuff they portray is 100% false. He's an unbaptized Amish man (doesn't exist), one of the store owners portrayed to have paid "protection money" already came out and said it's BS, the police department they cite in the show does not actually exist, news outlets are having difficulty even getting a comment on this show from Amish or Mennonite communities because they don't like the media attention (so how would they get all these people to participate in a show), and many more things. On top of that, when did I ever say anything to the extent of "he's Mormon, so of course nobody ever asked him about his sex life"?

The idea that these Amish mafia people would be willingly filmed while participating in criminal activity is almost as absurd as believing Te'o was duped for 3 years.

Ok. Then your comment was a non sequitur and you missed the point I was trying to make. My Amish Mafia example was directly related to the "Do you know any Mormon's?" question I was asked, insinuating that T'eo couldn't possibly be a bad guy or wouldn't possibly talk about his sex life because he is Mormon. I wasn't trying to debate whether the Amish Mafia is real or not real (I don't care but it IS great TV). I only used that example as one of about a trillion examples of theoretically religious people doing things that are against their religion.

He couldn't possibly have hooked up with anyone at St. Marys. They are Catholic. And he is a Mormon. Don't you know any Mormons? :)
 
Butch said:
For those of you who are rampaging on that he may be gay, someone at ND's rival board said he was "hooking up" with a large number of girls at St Mary's.

But then he would have been cheating on his dying girlfriend.

I don't know if this was discussed earlier but why did Teo as a Mormon go to ND in the first place? I thought I had heard a different story earlier but now I hear BYU actually pulled his offer after Teo was caught drinking. If this is common knowledge, I missed it, but it doesn't look like he comes to this latest bombshell with clean hands.

It's not a non sequitur, I just responded to one part of your post. You then extrapolated a much, much, much broader point than I ever made. A non sequitur would have been me saying, the show is complete BS, therefore Teo didn't lie.

He was a die hard USC fan and up until the day before signing day he was certain he would sign with USC. But after praying about it and apparently getting an answer from God to sign with ND, here we are.

The guy who supposedly ran the 'fake girlfriend' scam was Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. You know, from the Tuiasosopo family that had multiple family members play at USC and in the NFL. Coincidence?!;)

According to CNN, the girlfriend/ghost/figment posted a new tweet today. I can't link right now, but check out their website. "She" says the truth will be revealed at Noon Pacific Time......I can't lie, I love this story.

"She" better watch out. She's getting closer to the time slot for Oprah's Lance interview.
You dont wanna F with Ms O. She will make "her" wish she were dead.
 
That may be the first time since English was created as a language that it was used to state that an imaginary character will be made to wish they were dead. Good stuff.

Looks like an Alabama fan or someone else registered that username yesterday. The statement that they released a half and ahour ago said:

My statement: This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but I have been told by Alabama's offense that Manti Te'o is not real.


LOL! Too funny! CNN and a bunch of news organizations were eagerly waiting for this tweet...and it was somebody playing a joke! Nice one!:D
