The whole Manti Te'o fake girlfriend hoax has been a little
unreal. You have to wonder how in the world that something like that involving
such a public figure could remain hidden for so long. If Manti was in on it
that would make sense, but so far he has proclaimed innocence in this whole
mess.
According to second hand information the master mind behind
this whole mess, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, has backed up Te'o's account of the
affair. If this mess has show us anything it is that you can't trust anything
that doesn't come directly from the source (and even then...).
Well, it looks like we might actually be able to get the
low-down from the source in this scandal. Word is that Tuiasosopo is going to
talk to the media--eventually.
His uncle, Peter Navy Tuiasosopo, has stated that the family
is going to meet later this week to discuss
Ronaiah coming forward. He went on to state that the family just wants
to make sure they do it right. Transaltion--we've hired an attorney and we want
to make sure we don't say anything that could cost us in the long run thanks to
this idiot prank my stupid nephew pulled.
Ronaiah's family makes his involvement in this scandal all
the more perlplexing. His father Titus is the pastor at a church; Ronaiah leads
the band for the church.
"I've been practicing how to say `no comment' in 20
languages," the pastor told his congregation.
Te'o is set to speak to Katie Couric on her daytime talk
show on Thursday.
