Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend ... A Hoax?

  • I think this is great. If nobody got hurt who cares? It's the ultimate 7th grade girlfriend from another state story gone horribly wrong. Its hysterical he ended it this way. He probably could have just let it fade away and nobody would be any the wiser. That Stanford meet from afar thing is classic.

    My biggest question is after being run over by Alabama, how does this guy show his face on campus? This has to be one of the greatest come downs of all time.

    Why folks are so upset about this is silly. The only reasons are:

    1) they hate ND
    2) they're embarrassed that they've been duped by him

    Hysterical. :lol::lol:
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I don't think anyone is upset, it's fucking hysterical. But he is a scumbag if he used a fake girlfriends death for sympathy and heisman votes

    Why? Who cares? It's the freaking Heisman. It's pretty much a running joke of an award like the Nobel Peace Prize nowadays. That would have been even funnier had he won.

    It is one of the most bizarre sports stories ever. There have been a few sports stars that have lied about their resumes ... But nothing like this.

    Didn't George O'Leary get busted on the resume for N.D.?

    These people are trying to convince me that the star linebacker and captain of notre dame football and a future first round NFL draft pick had a relationship that he referred to constantly and referred to her family that was strictly online and they never met in person even though the story is that they met in person.

    They are trying to convince me that manti te'o is essentially a 12 year old girl on the Internet talking to a 45 year old dude. Manti teo is as naive as a 12 year old girl?

    That's the best part of this. The benefit of the doubt story is worse than the most likely story. :lol:

    I assume he will get a better PR team when he has more money. :lol:

    Whether Teo was in on it, and I think he was, being some who recently had a loved one pass away from cancer I'm disgusted that anyone would think that saying someone died from cancer is part of any sick twisted hoax or whatever you want to call it. Completely despicable and whomever is in, on, or behind this is a disgrace of a human.

    I find it hilarious that Deadspin does 10X more research and fact checking than ESPN, Sport Illustrated, CBS, etc. They all want that tear-jerking human interest story so bad they don't even bother to see if it's true.

    It's like you can't believe anything anymore.

    What's next? They're going to tell us Johnny's last name isn't really "Football"?

    What does this do to his draft stock?

    And what is the Vegas line that he ends up on the Raiders or Bengals. Sky-high, right?

    Drops him too a second round pick maybe early third. Of course this is my opinion.
    My butt itches!

    Jerry Jones will still take him. He doesn't care what you do, as long as they say your name on ESPN a lot. Even if it's for scandalous behavior.

    You don't ask Manti for a death certificate, you look for it yourself, like Deadspin did. :lol: As they said, not finding the obituary or report of a car accident should have been red flags, Manti telling him to back off should have been a bigger one. Since when do reporters "back off" when they're asked to anyway?

    You're right, he's full of shit. He knew something was up, but he had a story.

    Yeah, I mean I get why he backed off to an extent, he thought the kid was dealing with some serious shit and while there were some read flags, just believed him. I mean, at the time could you really predict this?

    I can't wait for Te'o to embarrass himself, more than he already has that is
