Deadspin Says Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Was a Hoax

With so much inbreeding among the island folk, is anyone prepared to dismiss the possibility that his grandma was in fact his girlfriend.
 
I hate to say it, but I think it was all a lie. I think he made it up. I also doubt his Mormonism(sp?). I have a few friends that are Morman's and tattoos are a huge no no. I have a ton of tattoos myself, so I am not judging him. I'm just pretty sure it's against the religion, and the press talk about him being such a devout Mormon.

I can tell this situation is about to die out when Manti goes on his sob story about how he was tricked. The details will never emerge.

Gotta count on ESPN being too journalisticly-butthurt to let it die without uncovering the details.

They interviewed Gene Wojasaofkjl;ski on ESPN and he sounded pretty mad that he fell for it and clearly didn't vet certain details prior to his interview with Teo.

Said he asked for pics and the family preferred not to provide them. He looked for an obit. or proof of the car accident, but didn't find anything and just blew it off.

öööö, they could've come out with it right before the BCS Championship Game. That would've been good.

It makes sense why they concentrated so much on Miss Alabama. She was real!

I heard this too, but I'm confused. I thought she died of leukemia?
 
Here's my theory:

He didn't feel comfortable being a gay football player for ND, so he pulled the whole "fake gf from another school" thing. Maybe his buddy Tuiasosopo (who supposedly started the twitter account and got the "face" of Lennay from a girl he knew in HS) was/is his gay partner. Maybe he's just an accomplice. But he helped perpetuate this fake gf to give Te'o a cover throughout college.

They realized they couldn't keep it up forever, so "Lannay" needed an end. That's when the leukemia/car accident came into play. They hoped the story would get buried with Lannay. Deadspin called him out. Now it's a matter of who else was part of the coverup. His dad? His teammates? The school?

Here's what I think happens next: He finally fesses up to it all, but also comes out. If he is gay, and he was smart about it, he'd play the "it's so tough being gay on a college football team" sympathy card.

No that would have given ND an excuse for their ass whooping.

Colorado got to share a national championship because of the head coach's daughter dating the starting QB who tragically died of cancer....good for several AP votes over the team that got screwed out of the consensus championship...

.....that and a loss to an Illinois team that got trounced by Clemson....a 5th down.....and a phantom clipping on a game winning play by the opposition.


Manti Te'o just needs to give a rambling come out of the closet - Jodie Foster style speech and he will be hailed as a hero.

Even if he's not gay, saying he's gay and going for sympathy might be a good way out of this mess.
