    Why did someone like Teo need an internet girlfriend anyway?

    Why would Joe Steelers fan still have the Brent Muskberger kool aid on his lips thinking the Steelers should even look at this guy? I dont see it.

    1. One big ole media hype all year.


    2. Dont think he is better than Larry Foote

    3. Freak had a pretend girlfriend- that sounds like a pretty stable dude huh?

    4. Did i say media circus- again, will be like a Tebow for defense- getting attention riding the pine and playin punt team

    The red flag is flying high on this kid. At best it shows almost unfathomable naivety if he was duped, and wasn't in on it. That's the best case. I already had him as a bottom of R1 talent (even before the BCS title game). I'm not sure if he's even going to go in R1 now.

    I wouldn't take him even in the 2nd round. What a very strange story. The girl who's picture is all over the place as his imaginary GF should get a lawyer imediately and maybe even a court order to keep that looney far far away.

    The place where the funeral was suppose to take place doesn't exist,( somewhere in California) this is where I think he found out that it was a hoax, and maybe he kept it going to turn it around on the person who started it? ( that's what I would've done) Punk the Punker

    I hope SNL makes a skit out of this on saturday.

    He kept it going even after he supposedly went to ND and claimed to be a victim. According to Teo and ND they found out it was made up on 12/6, but at the Heisman Awards Ceremony he was still talking about her, her death etc. Of course it didn't end there he continued doing so well after that. This nutjob is in full cover his ass mode for being busted as a fraud and pathological liar.

    I doubt it, Teo knew about it long before then.

    It hadn't occurred to me that all this may have sprung to hide the fact that he's gay. If he is, he should just come out with it already. It'll hurt his draft stock less and be good for the sport and country.

    As well as one should. Hell, we all have interacted with someone gay and even work with some on a daily basis. Out of 53 on the Steelers active roster I bet there is more than one Steelers player who is- same with other teams.

    Still dont think that little ND weirdo (not cause gay but because of this story) could make the Steelers any better.

    society at large aside, the nfl is a little different. i had a gay teammate in college and it WAS wierd. he was a defensive end, his boyfriend was on the soccer team. do you want the locker next to him while his junk is out? do you want to shower while he's in there? and the biggie at a small college. do you want to share a hotel room with him? (2 beds, 4 to a room).
    most guys in the nfl aren't quite ready for that.

    WOW JUST WOW
    you mean to tell me you wouldn't shower or change clothes until your roommate left? weird.

    there is a higher percentage of gays in the NFL than is thought,because most players keep it on the "DL", plus it really is NOONE'S BUSINESS.

    scared to shower because your roommate has a boyfriend,LOL puhlease


    ANYHOO, the Teo thing will be ironed out by drafttime and the FO will decide for ourteam

    congrats NOITALL on having the balls to share your views :thumbs_up:


    most people would say Teo would fit in san francisco FABULOUSLY!!! 2 SNAPS.

    why do you think that? do you know something everyone else doesnt? I dont think there is a high percentage of gay players. I personally have never been around any. I have meet some gay people but to say i know any, I cant. I would be stunned if more than 10 nfl players were gay. I may be naive, but i just dont think the sport is a sport a gay man would want to play. I mean the one we know of is a punter

    no need to apologize, that's your prerogative (BOBBY BROWN)

    Kluwe called out a Maryland politician who was upset about the Ravens having a player Ayanbadjo that openly supported gay marriage.
    Kluwe just supported another player in the nfl for using the 1st amendment by using the 1st amendment by calling the politician a "cockmonster"

    Ayanbadejo claims there is roughly 3% gay men playing in the nfl today

    wasn't 100% a comment on me, i was on the other side of the ball and not around him much. the situation was weird, that much is simply a fact of what was. locker rooms are more intimate than offices remember. think locker room talk about girls. most guys don't want to think about the guy next to them thinking about them like that. and in my teams situation, do you want to be the freshman that shares the bed with him?

    " i was on the other side of the ball" is that code? ;)

    don't flatter yourself, gay men or women don't just fantasize about everyone same sex.


    on a side note about the pictures Te'o obviously never met his "beard" he thinks she is as big as Hampton when he hugs her.
