Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend is a hoax..?
http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-te...iend-is-a-hoax
If this is legit... I don't even know, but it's horrible. I can't find anything about it anywhere else though

Re: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend is a hoax..?
This is really strange. His side of the story is that she was an internet girlfriend whom he had never met. Either he's gullible (he is a Mormon afterall), complicit, or a complete moron.

Except that he said on numerous occassions that he met her in person and called her on the phone everyday...
My completely off base guess is that he's gay, in a relationship with Tuiasasopohoweveritsspelled and is unable to admit it to his family. In order to get them off the smell, he said he had a gf but needed to change the story once his family really wanted to meet her. Outlandish for sure, but it's no less plausible than everything else about this story.

Re: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend is a hoax..?
Will this be blamed on the violent nature of the sport causing brain injuries and dementia?

Re: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend is a hoax..?
This story is nuts. It sounds like he has been the victim of a hoax. idk what to think, mvp has a point where it could be something more deeply layered, or maybe Lane Kiffin had a grudge for him skipping out on USC and he hired an actress Shit is crazy and unfortunately eating up a lot of time on sportstalk radio this morning.

Te'o is no victim. He's involved in this somehow. In an article on the Notre Dame website from awhile back, his dad stated that he brought her to Hawaii for vacation a couple of times. That story has since been removed from the site.
Te'o had stated in the past that he's met her, but later backtracked on that, saying he only knew her online and through phone calls.

Re: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend is a hoax..?
I don't even know what to make of it anymore. Srsly fked up tho.
If I had to put money on it though, I'm guessing it was a joke that just got out of control.
