Cant think of a more elaborate cover story than making up a girl, killing her off, and then have no one question your single life the rest of your career because your jilted lover died shockingly of a terrible disease.

something that crazy has to work!
At this point, coming out and saying he did it because he's gay and didn't want anybody to suspect it would be better for his reputation than just admitting he did it to gain sympathy, and put himself in the spotlight.

I think the best thing would be is simply tell the truth for once. Say you're a douche bag and did something stupid, got exposed, and move on.

That's what I'm saying. If in truth, he did because he's gay (which a lot of people are speculating is the reason) would be better for him than just making it up because he wanted to be Tebow 2.0 in the eyes of the public.

Oh okay I didn't know about the gay speculation. If he is gay I totally agree

An' plus, unlike u said in 'nuther thread, I don't think Woody's boo-boo on his thumb will impede his blocking ability. (there. 2 birds.)

Speaking of coming out...

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Some people make up a girlfriend because they think it makes them cooler, brings them some kind of social legitimacy to have a girlfriend.

Te'o is a decorated linebacker for Notre Dame. What reasons would he have to make something up to fit in??? The kid is gay, and created the fictional long distance girlfriend to cover it up. When he realized the story could eventually fail, he "killed her off" to cover his tracks. Makes too much sense/

Unfortunately for him, American journalists really have nothing better to do

I just find it hard to believe that a gay Mormon exists. Not a bad idea for damage control, though.

left unsaid is the long long line of "journalists" who reported on the dead girlfriend story without investigating anything at all about her
