    Manti Te'o a horrific liar?

    http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-te...ium=socialflow

    This report from deadspin sheds light on the "passing" of his girlfriend and grandma.

    As a huge ND fan, this is disgusting. Someone needs to explain what is going on ASAP.

    Manti Te'o is a horrific scumbag and should not have the privilege of playing in the NFL and the money and fame that goes along with it.

    Notre Dame better not have known about this.

    woah, I hope every major media outlet who published pictures of the dead girlfriend, who's neither dead not Te'o's girlfriend gets the living **** sued out of them.

    Re: Manti Te'o a horrific liar?

    Notre Dame is saying he was the victim of a hoax over a mostly twitter-based relationship. They are saying it was done "for the entertainment of the perpetrators." I'm listening to hawaii espn radio 1420

    That was my first thought as well. A devout mormon at a Catholic college. Dating an invisible girlfriend.

    Here's ND's statement:

    On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

    Notre Dame is really mucking this up painting Te'o as a victim.

    Re: Manti Te'o a horrific liar?

    At best Teo was dumb enough to believe he had an online girlfriend of a year that never actually existed...he never met her, never talked to her on the phone. At worst he was in on it for whatever reason, I won't try on speculate on why.

    The thing is, for him to have TRULY been duped, he would have had to have read some of the stuff that was printed about the relationship...how he met her at stanford, etc. which is all completely untrue, and never have corrected anyone about it. There were too many details for him not to be in on it IMO, unless the guy who made her up is a genius level manipulator.
    Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind.

    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

    7th round. Why would a coach want a guy like that?

    Re: Manti Te'o a horrific liar?

    I'm listening to Nashville sports talk and they are wondering if he's gay and that's why he made up the story. That's a pretty big jump I think. How do we not know the girl wasn't crazy and setting him up in some way?
    My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
