Today on Tuesday: Manti Te'o

     Hello world.  I'm back again like cops to your neighborhood Dunkin Doughnuts.  I'm really trying my best to stay on my blog thing, so I had to have a follow-up to last night's post, which was a really fun one to do.  But as we all know, today is a new day which means we have to talk about new things.  So since I went on a hiatus last week, I wasn't able to bring you my thoughts on this whole Manti Te'o fiasco.  It's probably a good thing that I didn't rush to it because the full story (we think) has come out and my opinions on the mater have changed.  Don't get me wrong!  I still think Mr. Te'o's intuition is still pretty laughable, but I have to call out these hoaxers as well.  Let's dance, shall we?

      Alright so, I have an app on my iPhone that gives me SportsCenter updates on anything that ESPN deems important news.  My phone will vibrate like I have a Twitter DM, so I get all excited to see who hit me up only to see that it's an update that I usually don't care about.  This time was different though because I read this: Manti Te'o girlfriend was hoax.  Huh?  How can your chick be a hoax?  I had to do investigate this one further. SideNote: Who decides what is breaking news?  Is there a committee on this?  Is it one guy's opinion on what he considers "breaking news"?  Can I be that guy? "Breaking news: Aye yo, my dude Obama got re-Inaugurated yesterday cuz."  "Breaking News:  Can I get a shout out from Hayden Panettiere on Twitter doe?!"  I would be the most popular news breaker since the debut of television, and that's real.  Anyways...  If you aren't familiar with the whole situation go HERE to catch up because it's more confusing than Vin Diesel's sexuality (yeah, go ahead and click on that link and tell me what he is).  I just want to share my opinion about the two sides that are involved.  First off, Manti.  C'mon yo...

      Yo, you're one of the best football players in the country.  You are a Heisman runner-up.  You are THE most recognizable guy on the entire Notre Dame campus, and you're going to tell me that you decided to have a relationship with a chick who you've never met?  C'mon son.  That's like having free cheeseburgers all around you, but you'd rather starve thinking about a steak.  Get outta here with that.  I know that some of y'all are probably reading this and know of someone that has been "catfished" or maybe you yourself have been "catfished".  To you, I say this: Stop It!  This social media thing is getting out of control with our generation to the point of where people are able to fall in love with a computer screen and pictures instead of going and finding a real relationship in real life.  I don't have a problem with meeting a "soul mate" online.  What I have a problem with is having emotional attachments to inanimate objects instead of real life.  I mean how can you call someone your girlfriend or boyfriend when you haven't hugged, or kissed, or even laid eyes on on them?  That's just a tough one for me to grasp.  Maybe someone can comment on this to give me some insight on how that works.  I really thought for a while that the best ending for this was for him to come out in the end and just say he was scared to admit his sexuality because he would have a legitimate reason for that.  He plays the most popular, masculine, testosterone-driven sport in America, so how well would a gay athlete be accepted within the sport?  It would have extremely interesting to see how that all played out, but instead he just admitted to being a dummy.  I wish they had soundbites of all the trash talking that he's going to have to go through in his career.  I predict that he isn't going to be very good for too long.  Just a thought.

     My next "C'mon son" has to go to these pranksters.  Why?!?!?!?!  Manti is a nice dude, excessively naive, but nice.  You can see that from his interviews, so why mess with him?  How much of a lame are you to do some sucker tish like that?  For one, it was done by some dude named Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.  A dude "catfishing" another dude?  That's got more question marks on it than the Riddler.  I have no problem with homosexuals, but if that's your thing then don't try and hide behind a text message or computer screen to live it out.  That just makes you a lame.  He even used 3 other squares to do his best Punk'd impersonation  Apparently this isn't Mr. Tuiasosopo's first rodeo either because it has been said that he's done this a few other times to family members and friends.  So this dude's suspect level out of 10 is about a 32.  Anyways, my point here is to put your time to good use.  According to my calculations, there are about 437,724,546 other things that he could have been doing instead of having his way with Manti's irrational emotions.  Just my thoughts...

  

     Welp, that's all.  I think both sides need to do some serious soul searching because Manti has no business falling in love with a Twitter account, and Ronaiah AKA the most suspect dude since Drake has no business being intimately involved with another guy through text messages.  I'm done.  This was just a message to all those who don't think about what they do before it's done.  Anyways, comment and suggest to me some ideas on the right side of the page if you’re on your computer or touch the arrow next to the follow button if you’re on your phone.  Go follow us on Twitter HERE, ‘Like’ us on Facebook HERE, check THIS out, and the YouTube account is still coming soon.  I haven’t done the YouTube thing yet because I don’t know what people want to see or hear yet, so it up the comment or question section to give me some ideas.  Wednesday's Words of Wisdom should be pretty dope tomorrow so stay tuned.  I'm out! Deuces Brodies!
