And all the images used for the national TV stories and magazines had the wrong girl and he didn't notice!?!?

And the person he was on the phone with all night for 8 hours was just... another dude?
And he sent white roses to ... what address, exactly, for the non-existent funeral?

I think this is the reason. I really do. Want to tank in the draft? Say you're gay.

There is absolutely no evidence that this is true. Has it ever even happened?

If you really want to tank in the draft, come up with an elaborate hoax to trick everyone into giving you sympathy points for the Heisman.

Or his boyfriend actually did die. Trust me he'd rather be outed as a hoaxer than as a.gay man. The NFL would blacklist the shit out of him..sad but true.

I didn't say it was a good cover story. But it's slightly more plausible than claiming the whole thing was entirely long-distance when he's on the record stating otherwise.
 
You're all going to feel like heels when it comes out that Te'o has multiple personality disorder, that Lennay Kekua was one of his personalities, and that he really believes all of this happened.

Laughing at such a mentally ill person is just not right. Sickos.

How can they claim it was a hoax against him? Has he ever once spoken about it? Seems like no way it could gone over his head that everyone was reporting about this. What about the coaching staff...has anyone from DM ever talked about this publicly?

The hoax is that he thought he was really dating her and she really did die, not that he never knew she existed.
 
You know, I really wanted to see her. I really wanted to see her. But I knew that she made me promise, you know one day she made me promise that, she said, "Babe, if anything happens to me, you promise that you'll still stay over there and that you'll play and that you'll honor me through the way you play, and know that I would rather have you there." And just make sure that all she wanted was some white roses. White is her favorite color. So she just wanted some white roses and that's all she asked for. So I sent her roses and sent her two picks (interceptions) along with that, so that was good.

This is all happening at an institute of HIGHER EDUCATION.

Can you demote a college down to a high school?

Fuck, this just READS like someone making some shit up on the spot.
 
From the Notre Dame article:

"The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest.

"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.

"And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now.""


not enough :jnc in the world for this shit

Sounds more and more like it was just a huge publicity stunt.

Unbelievable. I'm just fascinated by this story.

Bam. Admitting they have met.
 
Can someone cliff's note this?

Him and the family made up this girl for what? To build up his story for fame/glory/money/attention?
 
definite proof he has claimed to have met her:

http://www.und.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/101012aab.html

this is the key part of this interview where he mentions his girlfriend watching him live at the stadium:

Q. That same feeling, how do you almost balance that with game preparation and staying focused?
Manti Te'o: I think for me it just enhances it to know that I'm playing this game that I love in front of my parents. They can actually see me live. Same feeling I had these past couple weeks. My girlfriend and grandma was watching me live. Enhances that feeling of people watching you.

LOL @ ESPN

"We have BREAKING NEWS on Manti Te'o, but first, Chip Kelly pulls another switcheroo, making him look like a bigger douche than he already is!"
