    He's an odd looking Mormon fellow. For him having this chick strip off his magic underpants is quite the achievement.

    You realize this is an NFL player making millions and she is an Instagram model with a rap sheet? I feel like you have her high on a pedestal and acting like he is a weirdo Mormon coming back from his mission.

    I have a couple girls I went to college with that became e-personalities/fashion bloggers, which is essentially the more affluent white-girl version of being an instagram model. Blows my mind that people can hold these jobless, lazy ass women who spend all day impersonating Kim K on such a pedestal.

    "Inside, Denzel Perryman looks to improve on an impressive rookie season in run defense, although he’s paired with Manti Te’o, who’s coming off of the worst season of his career – only three of 94 qualifying linebackers graded worse overall in 2015."

    Maybe I'm forgetting, but how did the story not get blown up the second the picture of his 'gf' started being shown by espn/everyone? It was a real girl... hard to imagine nobody that knew her saw the picture.

    I think that was everyone’s thought at first, at least locally. That theory kind of fell apart though, I honestly think the dude was a super sheltered Mormon who got in too deep and by the time he found out it was to late to run it back so he just rolled with it as long as he could.

    Having seen “Next Goal Wins” since this story happened I wonder if Manti’s terrible cousin was a Faʻafafine (a sort of third gender that became commonplace in Pacific Islander cultures)

    I’m probably doing a Dan Brown level square peg into a round hole puzzle piecing here but it would be intriguing.
