Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
Here's the full statement form Notre Dame:
On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
He's really worried about someone right now.
I believe it's 50/50 that this guy is just kind of crazy and got off on making the whole thing up, vs. actually being fooled online by a hot "dying girlfriend."
We've actually seen it play out right here, in front of our eyes.
Of course now that this guy is proclaiming this to be a hoax, and he's gotten the authorities involved, he'd be guilty of far more than tall tales if it turns out HE made the whole thing up.
Pretty easy via an email trail to prove whether or not this is bullshit.
I'll add that I've never even heard of this guy or this story. That's how little I care for college football, I guess.

He referred to the GF while talking to the ESPN reporter after the game.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
He's talked about her coming to ND and seeing him after games. And him and her travelling to Hawaii the same week and her meeting his family.Crazy Levi wrote:He's really worried about someone right now.

He's fucked. It makes sense why he looked so lost in that title game.
I think he likes the penis, and that was a good excuse as to why he didn't fuck chicks on campus.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
He should have gotten all his awards stripped after his performance in the BCS Championship showed just how much of a fraud he and ND's number 1 ranking was ...but this takes the cake.
I was totally surprised that he didn't win the Heisman based off the sympathy vote alone. No way he won all those other awards without it.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
Again, Horrorholic did the exact same thing - claimed to have met her, talked to her on the phone all the time etc. When we pressed him over and over...FINALLY he admitted that he hadn't ACTUALLY met her.NeverSurrender wrote: He's talked about her coming to ND and seeing him after games. And him and her travelling to Hawaii the same week and her meeting his family..
Don't know if you remember, but it was the same shit - fantasy gorgeous gf - he even had pics that he posted - and suddenly when he decides to go visit, she falls deathly ill (which is why he was worried about someone now).
Not saying this is the case here, but clearly people can get wrapped up in this shit. In that same thread 2 or 3 other people posted stories about friends they had who had been through the same thing (even including sudden fantasy online gf death syndrome).
Regardless we'll know the whole story in a couple days. Until I hear a little more info I'll still call it 50/50. Well, maybe 60/40 now in favor of this all being on him.
It's really amazing how fast your life can go from sugar to shit these days.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
I don't know about all that. He's had a pretty damn good year. He can play. I just don't think he's the can't miss future Ray Lewis that NS thinks he is. I don't know what all this does to his draft stock, but I'd think he'll probably still go reasonably high. Somebody will still probably over pay to get him. I sure as hell wouldn't trade up to get him though, but I thought the guy was more hype than substance before all this shit came to light.Crazy Levi wrote:Oh shit I forgot about that.bane wrote:Still want your team to trade up to draft this guy Never Surrender?

This reeks of extortion. I think he called someone's pay me or I'm telling bluff and they fucked him.
He's like the Liberace of bass & pot.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
You know maybe its time that one of the major sports in America had a gay athlete, one that was known to be gay while his career was actually active.
Its not a big deal really its just like gay marriage who gives a fuck this is America right??? Equal rights for everybody I'd actually have some respect for the guy if he came out because right now I don't look at him as anything other than a joke.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
I agree, but that's a lot of baggage for a kid just entering the draft to carry. It would hurt his draft stock just because teams will be wary of all the extra media drama. If an established guy came out it'd go a lot easier I think.eddie lee roth wrote:You know maybe its time that one of the major sports in America had a gay athlete, one that was known to be gay while his career was actually active.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
Nope. There are stories that she flew to hawaii to be with him one week he was home told by his parents and now that article has been deleted for the South Bends Tribune's website - Article was published in October.bane wrote:Still want your team to trade up to draft this guy Never Surrender?
There were stories of her and him hanging out after the Stanford game last season. Now he never met her? He at least embellished this shit.

Him coming out as gay - whether he is or not - might be best way for him to deal with this fiasco.

Rumors are flying that he is gay, and this is his boyfriend. Just rumors. For now.

Re: Manti Te’o’s-Story about GF was a hoax
If He's gay just come out already, it's 2013, gays have it now better than ever, it worked pretty well in the boxers favor though boxing aint what it used to be. At least He has a chance at being some kind of trail blazer, sure as fuck beats being the tattooed lion of the upcoming draft which he'll never be able to shake anyway but If he's actually gay and comes out that would at least explain why he went with the hoax and would diminish his foolishness in some peoples eyes. Plus He'd get to go on all the major talk shows and get a guest starring role on glee.

Except knowing this dipshit as we do now, he'll likely confess to being gay and point out that the whole dead gf thing was his beard. But then, he'll have to deal with that shitstorm when he is exposed as straight right before the NFL draft.
These are strange times.
