Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

It was an online relationship and he never met her?

Someone has to come clean about this. Whoever perpetrated it (Te'o or whoever) is pretty damn low.

There are several stories that were written that seem to clearly indicate the two had met out at Stanford university.

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

He's gotta just come out with the whole truth now. It's not like he can make this more weird or awkward for himself. I mean, he's got the combine and team interviews coming up...plus media interviews. He's going to get asked about it a lot so there's no point in lying anymore.

He prolly should have stuck to the lie till he at least talked to a PR crisis guy or something. Releasing that weird statement didn't make much sense.

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

There was a maudlin segment about his girlfriend in the NC game pre-game. Almost certainly filmed after December 26, when Notre Dame alleges it became aware of the hoax. How could ND let that segment run?

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

Didn't even know he had a 'dead' girlfriend.

Interesting.

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

There's a very serious buzz going on right now on the twitterverse that this may be a prelude to a much bigger reveal.

Man, all I'm finding is jokes... And some good ones, I might add.

See: Jadeveon Clowny's tweet.

watching this presser on ESPN News. This is wayyy too weird...and I'm pretty numb to weird stories at this point.

Another board, originally from twitter, I believe.

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

I'm surprised it took so long for this story to break? No one on earth looked into the backstory?

Well done, Deadspin, though it probably wasn't hard to investigate (the she didn't exist part) once they went down that rabbit trail.

Re: Manti Te'o didn't really have a dead girlfriend

He wasn't actually missing all those tackles versus Bama, he was just hugging his fake girlfriend.
