    Why des anybody care ?
    Agreed.
    Reminds me of a Jay Leno joke the other night about Kim Kardashian - she said in a perfect world she'd be devorced before giving birth and Leno said in a perfect world we wouldn't know who Kim Kardashian is.

        Why? He's young and not the first person to fall for a fake online romance. Just the most high profile that we know of. in the grand scheme of things, this is about the lowest on the "idiot totem pole" scale. I can think of bigger idiots in and out of college football.

          It's a huge story in part because the media was duped. They don't like being made to look like the fools that many of them are. I have run over the different possibilities and no matter what the truth is the dude still comes off, at best, as very stupid. Even if he had no idea and was fooled by others it still should have never became such a huge story. He could have stopped it there but he didn't. He let the media roll with the dead GF story even when he KNEW for a fact that he had never seen her live or dead. That is a huge risk in my opinion. I think that is what would bother me the most. Why did you continue to play along even if you were fooled? A very dumb mistake. He'd have been better off getting a DUI or busted smoking herb then this.


          But even with what has happened he will still be a 1st round pick and have his chance in the NFL. In fact now I see some in the media spinning this as an explanation as to why he played so poorly against Bama which was the biggest knock on him at this point.

            The News media continues to prove to me that they are a bunch of idiots, who ran with this story based on what he said. NO ONE could check and verify that she
            had passed away??? an obituary,a death certificate??? Reporting 101 seems to be missing a lot lately in the News.......that's why I stay away from them.
