Before I ever met 1 nad short in person I certainly told people I already had. It was just easier that way.
Now what do you tell people about 1 nad short?
That's she's a filthy whore.
What's the deal with the Beef/Kamala thing?
They're in a pretty serious relationship. They live in Sitka and own a coffee shop at the airport there.
Like I said.
Does this coffee shop have a website?
It certainly has a Facebook page. And they won't let Pete like it.

So, im still not sure how to feel about this whole story, i mean, i can believe most of his story, but not going to a funeral or not going to the hospital when a person you love is either dead or dying, no matter what the reason for not meeting up until that point, that doesn't make sense.

So if this whole story if a hoax, then is there any good reason to do it other then to possibly try to hide the fact he might be gay?

Frankly, I think the girlfriend/grandmother deaths gave him a pretty big boost for Heisman consideration.

That's where my not following College football is hurting me with this story, i thought he was considered for the Heisman the whole year. So after all this stuff happened he may have started getting sympathy votes?

Could be. The voting committee is supposed to take the player's entire season into account. And he did play on the only undefeated team this year.

But, it's all moot since he didn't win. Ain't no prize for second place, yaknow?

He had the opportunity to make up for that loss in the championship game.

I think it's a little of both. Te'o was widely hyped coming out of high school, especially on his decision to spurn USC in favor of archrival ND. He was probably seen as one of the best defensive players in the country entering the season--maybe a dark horse Heisman novelty like the Honey Badger was the year before. But there's no question the drama helped seal his trip to New York--not just merely Te'o's own, but the all the hyped up drama of Notre Dame finally being "back".

Maybe if he'd faked winning the Heisman, ND could have won.

I can't see how, if it was a deliberate hoax, it was done with the intent of helping his Heisman campaign. There was no campaign at the time the girlfriend supposedly died. At that point in the season, no one would have thought ND had a chance in going undefeated through the regular season, and if they don't there's no way his Heisman campaign ever goes anywhere.

But this may be the kind of situation you cannot apply logic to. People who do illogical things aren't normally doing them for twisted but logical reasons.
