This the second fraud from Teo. The first was believing he was an SEC-caliber linebacker.

Somehow all the pieces don't fit together here.  How can you not know for sure if your "girlfriend" has died??  So if he didn't know, then how could he & his family have been so easily duped?  Or if he did know that this was a hoax from the start, then did he let it play out as a deception for whatever benefit he (or ND) thought they'd get?  Either way, lots of the sports press was duped too and they ought to be ticked about it.

According to the Deadspin report, Te'o and Ronaiah Tuiasosopo have been in contact via Twitter, including exchanging several friendly messages last summer. A Notre Dame source told ESPN that Te'o was vetted heavily when the school learned in December that Kekua was a hoax, and said he believes Te'o was not involved. But a friend of Tuiasosopo, a high school classmate of Te'o, told Deadspin he was "80 percent sure" that Te'o participated and did so with publicity in mind.
They (Te'o and Notre Dame) want us to  believe that he fell in love with seriously ill girl online and took someone else's word for it that she died. Phoney Baloney! Notre Dame did enough vetting to make sure no NCAA rules were broken and that was all! NFL scouts beware!

this is the really strange part to me ....
Quote
In an interview with ESPN for "College GameDay" on Oct. 2, Te'o said Kekua's last words to him were "I love you." He also said that she was "the most beautiful girlI've ever met."

Swarbrick said Te'o never met Kekua in person. "What I will tell you, this was exclusively an online relationship."


shouldn't he have said NEVER MET ?  really ? it never crossed his mind to
mention that before the Heisman voting and all ?

I smell a rat , or a rat fart at the least ...

maybe he can get Eddie a retro plenty to be enforced in the pro's for
as WV said "unnecessary roughness" by Lacy ...  :lol2:

work it te'o work it !  :lol2:

ND seems satisfied this was a hoax against Te'o. Maybe so. But the adverse is that he played the sympathy card to garner votes for the Heisman. Things began to unravel and he came up with the prank story, following the storyline of an MTV show, to explain or excuse his deceiving the press in order to not blemish his record to NFL scouts.

If he was not in on it, then there has to be a real girl out there somewhere playing the part.  They supposedly met after the Stanford game a few years ago, and she was supposed to have visited his family in Hawaii.  Where is this girl actress?  He is in on it.

Manti Te'o on 12/8, 2 days after hoaxers call again: "I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer."

https://twitter.com/ChiTribHamilton

So, he found out that it was a hoax, and then 2 days later talked about losing his girlfriend to cancer.  Ummmm....okay, sure.

Seems ESPN is going along with (for the time being) the Notre Dame Athletic Department's portrayal of Te'o as a victim of social media. LOL-- So ND has now reduced their options to two- either he is the biggest idiot in the world or a closet homosexual.

The more I think about it, the more this actually makes sense.  Maybe he and his buddy create this imaginary girlfriend so he doesn't have to explain to his ND teammates his lack of interest in women, and then the press gets a hold of it (or maybe the ND Heisman marketing campaign arm).  Still, he lied, and he continues to lie in damage control mode (the press is reporting his garbage as if it is true?).  And he was trying to use the story to promote his image in the press.  If I were in charge of a team's NFL draft picks, I wouldn't touch him until the 7th round.
