If someone really wanted to get to the bottom of this, they should try and obtain his phone records over the past 3 years. See how often, if at all, he called palo alto, see if there were indeed nights for 8 hour phone calls. If those phone records show that, then I would be inclined to believe Te'o.
If the News and Observer can obtain Butch Davis' personal phone record than why have none of the 20+ newspapers who reported a false story gone after Te'o's? Lol
How do you know they aren't?
The media has many ways of obtaining information when they have reason to do so. They've been duped and you can be sure they are digging like never before. They gave Te'o the unquestioned benefit of any doubt for months, now there is no dead girl or dead girl family to be sensitive too. The more Te'o remains silent the harder they'll dig.
It's a fact he knowingly lied at least twice.
When have I ever said Lance was innocent of anything?
He's beaten how many cases now? How many times should he defend himself from people clearly with a vendetta against him?
To DATE NO ONE has offered any concrete evidence against him. At this point, if they had a case, there would be no need for arbitration. They either need to formally charge him with a crime and prosecute, or go pound sand.
WHY should he continue to spend his money on this? What's he payoff at the end of the day? What good does it do him?
At this point pretty much everyone has an opinion one way or the other, it's not like his reputation will be ruined or improved either way. He basically has nothing to gain.
Maybe Te'o is gay, and this is all just a huge cover up to hide this fact. I just can't believe he was spending nights on the phone with a guy( who posed as a girl for a couple of years).
Yet, nowhere did I say he was innocent.......did they prosecute him? Did he have anything to gain by fighting the charges?
He didn't spend the time on the phone with a guy pretending ot be a girl. There was a girl in on it.
Yes, he gave up because he was guilty.....we know that now. But the case wasn't worth fighting, whether he was guilty or not. They clearly DID have a vendetta against him, but they never had PROOF enough to get a guilty verdict, now did they?
And, I never once said he was innocent......I did argue the case was pointless.
What does this have to do with Te'o?

Supposedly, there isn't a lot of facts out there yet to support that.
So, the second hand story from a friend of his with motive to make him look better is good enough for you?
So the fact that he can't come out with the truth doesn't bother you? The fact that the longer it takes, the more likely it is he's lying more?
The major holes in his story and timeline don't bother you? The fact that he by his own admission knew in early december but continued to lie to the media and sell his story? The fact he made NO attempts to correct the inconsistencies in his story?
I'm struggling to understand just exactly WHAT makes him or his story believable when he has lied multiple times, and can't come clean.
