Manti Te'o is either dumber than a rock, or this is a career ending con job.

sounds like he got catfished...

sounds far fetched, but seems to happen alot

dont see why he would make this upset?

normally people make shyt up to benefit, there would be no benefit to making this up before the year he was a first round pick, and stuff like this doesnt give your draft value

If he had to go home and be with his family to mourn for someone he never met, that is F'ing pathetic. Somebody needs to clarify if the girl he claims to have been his girlfriend is actually the one deadspin mentions setting up a hoax, maybe its in the article, but I stopped halfway thru thinking it was a load of shit, guess maybe its got some validity.

His grandma died the same day, i think he probably went to mourn for that as well

Teo for Heisman

Catfish!

ebbearsfb1 · 01-16-13, 06:00 PM

sounds more like a former friend was jealous of teo and set this story up from reading the deadspin article if im understanding it right

coming up on sportscenter..

Still trying to figure out who he spent all night on the phone with..........listening to her breath.

This guy is a fukkin fraud.

GOIRISH · 01-16-13, 06:09 PM

His dead girl friend being a hoax still doesnt change the fact that he played amazing all year. he found out on the 26 of december. Now his junk performance in the title game makes sense.

shari91 · 01-16-13, 06:11 PM

You nutters should maybe send an email if you think something's been wrongly moved?

If it's sports or gambling related it stays in PT. Unless the thread gets vulgar. Not everyone sees "dead girlfriend" the same way considering the shit staff see on here that people try to post before it hits the forum so maybe send a staff member a msg next time. Too many weird fukkers so sadly once in a blue moon a thread will get moved accidentally.

He could have had a career game and ND still would have been ran out of Miami just the same. Teams on the field were apples to bowling balls.

Ya, his personal life off the field is so much more important than a team say deflating balls during a game. Hey by the way i hear the collesium is going to get foreclosed on.

seaborneq · 01-16-13, 06:12 PM

Is his grandmother still alive too?

Existence, death of Te'o girlfriend called a hoax

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8851033/story-manti-teo-girlfriend-death-apparently-hoax

Notre Dame says a story about Manti Te'o's girlfriend dying, which he said inspired him to play better as he helped the Fighting Irish get to the BCS title game, turned out to be a hoax apparently perpetrated against the linebacker.

Dabeergod · 01-16-13, 06:14 PM

The real Hoax was Manti Teo impersonating a linebacker in the Title game....what a tool

i'd imagine another female, who was in on the hoax

ttwarrior1 · 01-16-13, 06:17 PM

huge huge news, this could be 50 pages long when said and done

I guess he would fit in with sbr after this news

ebbearsfb1 · 01-16-13, 06:17 PM

it makes sense that the "gf" wouldnt want him to miss a game and go to the funeral... as he would go out there and not be able to find the place

thetrinity · 01-16-13, 06:18 PM

this has to be one of the more ridiculous things i ever heard in my entire life.

he never met his "girlfriend", who was he talking to on the phone then?

ttwarrior1 · 01-16-13, 06:18 PM

wait he says he met her online ??

Dabeergod · 01-16-13, 06:18 PM

thetrinity · 01-16-13, 06:20 PM

agreed but distance, scheduling, making up reasons to not see you etc...

it can be years..

granted i wouldnt go public saying it was my gf if i was big figure like him..

just look at sbr, you have no idea who is behind the keyboard

muldoon · 01-16-13, 06:21 PM

No proof the guy is gay...but if he were, this might all make a lot more sense.

ttwarrior1 · 01-16-13, 06:22 PM

He responded and acted like he is only embarrassed? I thought he suppovely met her in the hospital. Something doesnt add up

tto827 · 01-16-13, 06:23 PM

Check the ESPN story. They have Teo quotes explaining his side. He admits he fell in love with a women he never met.

I thought so too Shari but Teo basically confirmed it on ESPN.

Ernie Mccracken · 01-16-13, 06:26 PM

Manti was part of the hoax, not a victim of it. Go back and read through his interviews. Lies, lies, and more lies.

I know college kids do stupid things and this sounds like a lie that just got way, way out of hand before he could control it. I don't think this makes him a bad person, but someone who tried way too hard to live up to other's expectations. Send him to Oprah.
