It's not really an attorney. Just some guy he found on craigslist claiming to be an attorney that duped him into 'hiring' him so he could eavesdrop on the ESPN interview. :grin:

Of course Jeremy Schaap is saying Teo was calm and composed during the interview. He had 2 days to get his story straight, plus it's already quite obvious that he's a great liar. Obvious psycopath is obvious. Just digging the hole even deeper 'brah'.

I almost wish, for his sake, he was in on it a little bit. Better to seek publicity than to be that ****ing stupid.

Hahaha. This actually made me laugh. The whole thing is stupid and getting an incredible amount of coverage.
Really? The love of your life is fighting for survival and it doesnt cross your mind to visit her? I dont think anyone should believe someone can actually be this dumb. My respect for this guy plummets every time I check updates in this thread.
Exactly. The audacity of this guy to think everyone is just that f-ing dumb. He's either trying to be the biggest troll in the world, or he has Royce White problems. Hope whatever NFL team drafts him is ready to get hit with some #transparency #protocol #BeWell energy.
