What kind of idiot uses 1-2-3-4-5 as their combination?

I’m having a hard time believing the conspiracy theory about a gay Mormon Samoan playing football at the nation’s most respected Catholic university and using a convoluted fake girlfriend hoax to hide his sexual orientation only for that to blow up right before the combine and not at any other time in the past prior to the USC game, Heisman ceremony, or National Title game. And I believe the Nazis dropped the World Trade Center and that Obama is secretly the president of the NRA.

Fake Internet girlfriends, doping one-testicled, cancer survivor cyclists…can’t make this shit up if you tried.

I’m waiting for the “walked into a bar” part. Where’s the rest of the joke?

Bartender told him to get the fuck out?

Ken Jennings, that jeopardy big winner guy had a great tweet about no longer being the most famous mormon who made up a fake girlfriend in college

ESPN is in whole hog on the Teo spin cycle. “He was the victim of a hoax.” The lede of their main story is not the story itself but the Notre Dame take on it.

What a load of shit.
