Manti Te'o's girlfriend who died from leukemia was a hoax

Goddamn these names and the constant inception sh!t in the dead spin article is nuts

Dude, it will be easy to get to the bottom of it all. Just get his phone records/chats with her.



Best pic for a meme

I'll admit, though, I'm not a college sports fan, so maybe I don't fully appreciate how these things play out...but it certainly seems like this was a planned thing and that makes him look like a nut.

Concur.

Honestly, 2 weeks is a little different scope of trying to hold something like this together than the time frame being discussed with Te'o.

Who's going to do that? Unless there's suspicion of a crime, LEO isn't going to care about this. And unless he's willing to turn them over or someone hacks him, it would take a subpoena to get them.



If in fact he's gay and this whole thing was a cover for him not doing any chicks while he was in college, it will be interesting to see how the NFL deals with that. A high draft pick that's been outed as gay would be a media spectacle of extraordinary scale.

I doubt that, the only cover he needed was that he's Mormon

Either he's REALLY stupid and got duped on multiple occasions like when meeting his "gf" in Hawaii, despite the fact that the pictures he was sent were of a different woman, or the most likely scenario which is the while thing was a ploy to get media attention and a shot at the Heisman. Ffs he personally knew the guy behind the twitter account!

Seems like he's a homosexual male to me. Exactly what Ghorn said.

Yup hes gay and this was all made up to help hide it

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Bimmer App

He's awkward and ugly. But he should have been smashing up and down the campus. Gay? Doesn't seem like it. Why he would lie about this? Some people like attention. But no one has a 1 year relationship in his position without meeting the person. Blown away that anyone is holding onto that on.e

I would believe it.

But who was Te'O talking too?

The stupidity of athletes these days just boggles my mind.........

this is fun

guarantee he was banging priests left and right at that shitty university

Now there's the "catfish" theory. I had never heard of this before--"A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances." There was a movie about--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catfish_(film)

Could he have been duped that easily? Seems hard to believe.

no, he's a fvcking liar.

This guy is a real fkn loser. Who has an online gf they've never met unless you're in Jr High? And Wtf is this catfishing thing kids do nowadays?

[An initial casual engagement, a developing relationship online, a subsequent trauma - traffic accident, illness - students ent hen, a death."

My wife thinks Teo is the victim here. The girl who did the catfishing must've put in a lot of time and effort just to hoax someone and that's a real fkn loser. She thinks Teo was just an innocent college student who didn't have the time and money to visit this online gf. I beg to differ.
