Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend was a hoax

[No coincidences]

Deadspin is the LAST group of nerds you'd want after your ass.

That's because they aren't a part of the mainstream media establishment.

It's either he's a liar or he's a complete idiot and a liar. Even if he was completely fooled, only an idiot would have been, he talked about her after the date
He would have found out. I can understand not doing it before the title game, but he had 9 days after. So what is it? Liar, or idiot and liar.

After reading the articles and old interviews where he talks about her and lies in great detail, I couldn't disagree more.

Deadspin is going to eventually bury this cat. He got caught up in a web of lies and just continued to spin because it meant positive publicity in a Heisman Trophy race. Time is not going to be on Te'o's side, and Deadspin's not just going to let this slide. And if they don't get him, the NFL teams will. He should've just come clean and admitted to being a part of the hoax, which would've been awful enough. Instead he chose to lie one last time and it will only make things worse.

Your as naive as Swarbrick - Its embarrassing! This kid loved the pub and thought it would help him motivate his team and win the Heisman - plain and simple! Noone is this naive - this guy is a senior at a academically challenging university - he couldn't be this much of an idiot to fall for this garbage. He was obviously in on it - the evidence is there.

Apparently you guys missed the hard-hitting investigative journalistic piece this morning done by professional and beauty Shelley Smith.

I know the story would come across more titillating if Te'o was a gay Samoan, with a phony fake girlfriend, that he concocted as some kind of ruse, but the evidence doesn't support any of this. He was a victim from the onset, and now he is just embarrassed, as he should be.

You guys probably paid for Davonte Neal so....

[opie1988]

I do. And you should as well and here is why.

Guy is closeted gay, no doubt about it but the underlying issue here is that he lead a sordid second life full of lies and deceit like most closeted gay guys do.

There are a lot of guys like Manti te'o, I mean A LOT. Not just make believe girlfriends but real wives, girlfriends and children and who troll sites like craiglist M4M sections with captions like "discreet married gay man here to suck your balls dry". And this bothers me and should bother you too because these closeted homo have the potential to destroy the lives of countless people (wives,gfs, children) all because they refuse to accept the idea that they're gay .

Spot on. Homos do a lot of damage.

Manti always had that polesmoker look about him.

Catfishing is serious business, Wilfred.

Turn on Outside The Lines on ESPN right now.

Haha yeah. But even if its all true that he was fooled he still lied to the media about it.

[The Giant]

Haha yeah. But even if its all true that he was fooled he still lied to the media about it.

He may have lied in December a time or two, but big deal. What do you expect him to say at that point? "Oh, yeah, about my girlfriend that passed away, she was make-believe"?

Come on, Wilfred. You're a talking dog, you should be smarter than this.

He brought her up by himself. After that December 4th date. Don't ever use ESPN for real news.

"I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer," Te'o said on Dec. 8, while talking to reporters in advance of the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

[Trident]

He was a victim from the onset

If he was truely a victim as most want us to believe why did he say this two days after he claimed he knew it was a hoax.

Dec. 8 in New York, ESPN's Chris Fowler asked Te'o what moment of his very public story of tragedy he would remember. "I think I'll never forget the time when I found out that, you know, my girlfriend passed away and the first person to run to my aid was my defensive coordinator, Coach [Bob] Diaco, and you know he said something very profound to me," Te'o said. "He said, 'This is where your faith is tested.' Right after that, I ran into the players' lounge and I got on the phone with my parents -- and I opened my eyes and my head coach was sitting right there. And so, you know, there are a hundred-plus people on our team and the defensive coordinator and our head coach took time to just go get one [of those players]. You know I think that was the most meaningful to me."

It may have started out as a hoax but he rode this train for all it's worth which is not only wrong but sick as hell.

Imagine if he was talking about losing people to cancer, and left out his "girlfriend". That would have just made people suspicious. He was probably just hoping the story would go away.

What would you have preferred him to say, while the cameras are on him, and he's on live television talking to Chris Fowler? "Listen, Chris, about the girlfriend of mine. It turns out she never existed, and I was on the phone late at night talking to a myriad of different people."???

Get a clue.

How about " thats something I'd rather not talk about " he used it for his personal gain knowing that the entire story was a lie and you tell me to get a clue.

Ok fine. He told ND in late December (allegedly) so the story was for sure coming out. He had 9 days after the title game to say something. Nothing. I'm going to wait for the real investigative reporters to get all the details figured out because there's a lot that we are missing I feel. ESPN has no credibility with this kind of stuff.

He can't talk about someone for months and months, and then say "I don't want to talk about it", when pressed for an answer.

I agree with you, Wilfred, waiting will allow us to get all the answers.

One lie becomes another and another and another, this POS would have never told the truth if not for being exposed as a fraud.

He was the one that told Notre Dame.

You're really having difficulty interpreting the facts here, Trident.

[ebbearsfb1]

Who really cares?
Media lies to people all the time.

If they did a better job of actually doing some reporting this could of been seen as a hoax in october..


And if he is a fruit.. so be it, hes not touching my caboose ..God bless whatever his sexual choice is

Its only a story cause its nd, if it was joe blow state its hardly mentioned..
And not sure why all the hate for him, if it was truly a hoax, its a good chance to be a parent and teach your kids about the dangers and wackiness of online dating

Story could be made up by sbr to increase Traffic as this place is slowly dying

[Killer_Demo]

imagine if he had won the Hesiman that would have been a major clusterfuck

Really? that is news to me.

Notre Dame was made aware of hoax on Dec 26 story broke on Jan 16 Would you like me to count the days that both parties remained silent?

Hindsight is 20/20, but they were probably hoping it would go away. They were probably trying to save him the embarrassment of what it's become.

Tell me this. Do you think Te'o knew about any of this in September?

[ebbearsfb1]

I think the n.c. might of had something to do with them waiting.
Delaying.. whatever

[Trident]

Tell me this. Do you think Te'o knew about any of this in September?

I honestly think he may of.

Once you have been proven a liar I find it hard to believe a single word out of any liars mouth, Lance Armstrong is the perfect example of that.

[Roadtrip635]

What would the line have been if this broke before the Championship game?

Imagine how much funnier it would have been during the game when they showed McCarrons GF and Musberger got overstimulated, then cut to an empty seat to show Te'o's GF.

It's not like I'm some notre dame fan who hasn't won shit in a quarter century. We're talking recent success.

[Trident]

Manti Te'o quietly began dating an actual living, breathing female human being ... shortly after he learned "Lennay Kekua" had died from cancer ... and the rebound chick is HOT ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Manti tell us ... the Notre Dame star met Alexandra del Pilar the weekend of November 10 -- when Notre Dame played Boston College.

Alexandra, 21, is a student at St. Mary's College in Indiana -- which is close to Notre Dame.

We're told Alexandra and Manti dated for nearly 2 months, but broke up recently.

There are rumors swirling that Manti created a fictitious GF to take the pressure off him from teammates and others who felt he should be dating, but his relationship with a real woman calls those rumors into doubt.

Glad to see it didn't take him long to get over the death of his beloved GF.
