Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Was Never Real

What an utterly bizarre story. Seems hard to believe that this went on without him being involved, particularly considering how much press the death of his grandmother and girlfriend received. If it can be proven that this was just a PR stunt.....wow.

What football player has a girlfriend he's never met. That guy could probably get it all over campus. Why fall for this? Besides who was on the other end of the phone calls? This is totally bizarre and doesn't add up.

My thought as well. There's a number of interviews and social media posts where he mentions meeting her. I'm sure they're going to play that as "meeting online", since the bulk of the evidence has been deleted. It will be interesting to see if someone with first hand knowledge of the situation comes out to confess.

Yeah I'm not getting this..., how was he duped, never met her, she lied to him. What about his Dads comments in the media? What about his posts of some random gls picture (who never met him) as his girlfriend?

I don't get it......ban him from football and throw him in jail

His stock continues to plummet, first by being dominated by the Alabama players and now this revelation. One reason physical, the other emotional.
A new descriptive phrase should be added to our dialogue, being " Teo'd." Anyone who was duped by someone.
A second variation would occur if he is found to have been implicit in the ruse. Are you " Teo'ing" me, as in are you bulls'tting me?

I just saw a report on CNN about this. The TV was on in our lunch room at the office. After the report everyone looked at each other and we all had the "WTF?" look on our faces.

This is going beyond ridiculous & his story at its very best is a crock of czhitt.

I don't understand the motivation. Why make this stuff up? Like no one's going to eventually call him out on it? Though I am surprised that it took several months for it to happen.

PR. He was a relatively unheard of linebacker until the story about his grandmother and girlfriend broke. Suddenly he was being interviewed all over the place.......and mentioned as a heisman candidate. Without his dramatic special interest story he might not have otherwise gotten the attention required to be a candidate.
