Wtf? This is one weird ass story. I definitely lost all respect for him. He did a lot of good while at ND but he will always be remembered by this.

Is this why he played like crap vs Alabama?

The most amazing thing to me is how did this last so long without somebody figuring it out and going after it? Gene Wojnshdnfdn on ESPN just said he couldn't find anything about her crash or an obituary but didn't really pursue the details because Manti said the family didn't want to release pictures or be in the news so he felt he should respect their wishes. Honestly shocking to me it took so long before someone figured out the BS, or maybe people had been trying to get a writer to follow up on it and these were the first guys to do it.

Why would he lie about this? It takes a pretty pathetic person to make up a story like that

Nevermind...I found this gem on Yahoo:

Here's an example of Te'o's comments about Lennay Kekua during the season, from the Tulsa World:[INDENT]"My girlfriend's service was the day of Michigan's game," he said recently. "I knew when they were going to close the casket and all of that stuff, and it was during walk-through. I remember I asked Coach (Bob) Diaco, 'Coach what time is it?' And he said, 'It's 12:01.'
[/INDENT]"That would be 9:01 California time and nine o'clock is when they closed the casket for my girlfriend. So I had a moment then."

How is it possible he wasn't in on it? That's the part I need help understanding.

Yeah. That's the thing for me in trying to believe it was an elaborate hoax. Someone would have had to:

1. Maintain an online-only relationship with him that lasted for an extended period of time.

2. Hired someone who looks a lot like the girl whose pics were swiped to "be" his girlfriend for the times he said they met.

3. Came up with an elaborate reasoning for T'eo and/or his family to NEVER get in personal touch with "her" while injured or cancerous.

4. Got someone to breathe into the phone all night when he called and stayed on the line while she was ill and dying.

And there are probably more things that would have to have been major-league overlooked by him and/or his family to believe it was a hoax.

Yet Indiana basketball players are suspended for 9 games each for taking $9,702 and $6,003 in travel benefits. Not that it isn't deserving, but it's amazing how much media coverage petty stuff like this gets yet a elaborate lie involving death and deceit, at the gain of millions and millions of dollars flies under the radar.

Hopefully Te'o is outted as a fraud and never plays a down in the NFL. What a joke of a human, a fuckhead. He was in on it for publicity and money and both he and ND should be fined and suspended from football indefinitely. I can't wait until the NCAA sticks its nose in this and punishes ND for the obvious cover up.

This is just now showing up on the "radar". Have you been paying attention?

There's a lot of rumors out there regarding the gay thing. Apparently he'd recently been talking to teammates a lot about an older male "friend" by the name of Sidd Finch.

Him coming back for this would be so damn epic!

Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick has called a press conference for 8 p.m. Wednesday, where he’ll likely address the Te’o/Kekua situation

How many players were in on, or knew about, this hoax? and what if he had won the Heisman??

Did he comment on the fake girlfriend after the 26th? Like during the NC media day or anything?

Where the hell is Lotz?

I wanna here him blindly defend this shit.

It will be worth snorting beer through my nose.

Lol at all the Teo avatars.

The bitch is in the "Notre Dame 2013" thread. Like a bitch.

What I mean is there are tons of "non-stories" that the media tries to make a story before there is anything there. This is the opposite. As it's being reported, there were plenty of "hints" over the past few months about the validity of this story, but because of ND's season and Te'o story, it wasn't being slammed in our faces.

Meanwhile, anytime Tim ***** goes out in public, a UK basketball player gets a bad grade, the Lakers or Heat lose a game, Tony Romo throws an interception, etc (and many other different topics)...it's a headline story.

The bitch is missing. Hopefully committing suicide alongside her "boy".
