This story is just out there

Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax

If you seen Catfish, this story seems to be ripped out of that playbook..but so many holes just makes it seem like he is a really bad lier. Like he said he met her in 2009(now he didn't) that he talked to her family(nope) and that she wanted him to not go to her funeral if it was a game happening(uhhhhh).

Oh and ND is backing him..the

is hitting the fan....

This entire story reminds me of when I lost my girlfriend Fawn Leibowitz.

did not read the whole story but why would he do that?

**Eastcoast** · 01-17-2013, 08:37 AM

That is just awesome.

So do we think he's a little funny in the head naturally or has repeated noggin trauma left him this way?

because (it is my suspicion)he is gay, and that is not socially accepted in the NFL yet.

I saw that allegation in the article's comment section & wondered why people think this is so?

Narcisssitis personality disorder. Don't care what they do for attention, don't think about possible consequences. Just need attention at the moment they want it.

Katie Couric to Interview Manti Te'o - NYTimes.com

Katie Couric has landed the first television interview with Manti Te’o, the Notre Dame football star who said he was tricked into believing first that he had a girlfriend and then that the girlfriend died of leukemia. The girlfriend never existed

Ms. Couric’s interview will be televised on Thursday on “Katie,” the syndicated talk show she began hosting last fall, a spokeswoman for the show said Sunday. Excerpts from the interview will be broadcast beforehand on “Good Morning America” and other ABC News programs.

Ms. Couric and her staff beat out a number of other interviewers who tried to score a sit-down with Mr. Te’o, including Oprah Winfrey. Ms. Winfrey’s much-anticipated interview with Lance Armstrong was televised last Thursday and Friday on her cable channel OWN.

The spokesman hired by Mr. Te’o's family in recent days, Matthew Hiltzik, is also the longtime spokesman for Ms. Couric.

Yeah, this will be as hard hitting as her interview with Palin.../sarcasm.

Ridiculous- they are giving this chump a free pass with all of this since he's a 1st round pick. He obviously had knowledge of the situation from the timeline.

I think this summery is pretty good to explain it all(Along with the Simpsons parallel too)

How 'The Simpsons' Explains the Manti Te'o Fake-Girlfriend Saga - Armin Rosen - The Atlantic

This is no less the case if Te'o was perpetuating a deliberate fraud, as circumstantial evidence suggests. He lied about meeting Lennay Kekua in person, talked about her death of cancer two days after he supposedly learned that Kekua's identity had been faked, played in a game the day of her funeral, and was friends with Tuiasosopo, the man suspected of maintaining Kekua's persona and online presence. Assuming the hoax was partly Te'o's doing, there's still the matter of him tearing up on camera when discussing Kekua, and the larger matter of Te'o spreading a story so plausible, so brilliantly fleshed out, and so irresistible to the media that he was able to make Kekua live, breathe, and then die.
