Title: Re: ESPN Reporting That Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Was A Hoax Post by: McBaman on January 16, 2013, 06:52:34 PM 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.

Title: Re: ESPN Reporting That Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Was A Hoax Post by: BAMAWV on January 16, 2013, 07:14:30 PM Quote 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!Title: Re: ESPN Reporting That Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Was A Hoax Post by: Bamaphile on January 16, 2013, 08:02:03 PM I find it incredibly hard to believe that you know someone for 3 years, are her boyfriend for 8 months, and yet not know she's fake.

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: Title: Re: ESPN Reporting That Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Was A Hoax Post by: lstephen on January 16, 2013, 10:20:59 PM I find it incredibly hard to believe that you know someone for 3 years, are her boyfriend for 8 months, and yet not know she's fake.

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.
