honestly, at this point, his best explanation would be to claim he's gay - even if he's not - and say that he was embarrassed, did a dumb thing, and tried to hide it.

That would be better than the likely alternatives - even the one scenario where he truly wasn't in on the hoax. That would just show that he is laughably dumb.

I can only imagine the interviews at the combine "Manti....you realize that there will be times that the QB pretends to hand the ball off to the RB. You realize that just because it LOOKS like a handoff, doesn't always mean that the RB is actually getting the ball. You realize that, right?"

That's a possibility BUT according to Deadspin's updated article, the Lennay hoax pre-dates Te'o's involvement so playing the hoax victim card might work.

He was originally fooled, found out about it, but then was too embarrassed to reveal it.

This would be the only legit excuse I could think of...He made up a girlfriend to avoid the gay thing coming out and it just got out of control.

If it turns out he's gay (and he's a Mormon so that's a bad thing) and he comes out, I could get over it.

Tha really is his best course of action.

Being known as a very religious guy would really help in that scenario. He can say that he is gay, enter one of those religious homosexual reform programs. Then he can emerge a few months later, claim that he prayed the gay away, and resume banging chicks as if nothing had ever happened. And he would be lauded as a hero by certain religious groups.

Of course they would.

Notice how not one of ESPN's websites poll questions today focused on this.

They are scared ****less since this makes them look like idiots as well.

It's just funny to see these guys act like it's preposterous to even think that this story, even if it turns out he was actually duped, is a character issue that might affect his draft stock. No desire to further investigate the numerous strange circumstances still surrounding this situation.
