Answer me this: Despite all this bs going around, has he ever been known to let his team down in all his years at ND? When you hear of Manti, the football player, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Prior to this has he been one to put attention to himself? This matter is more about Manti's personal life than football.
That's not exactly true, some Safeties can play that "QB on defense" role as well. For example: Jim Leonhard
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8856519/manti-teo-talked-girlfriend-knowing-hoax Multiple media outlets have found numerous instances of the Notre Dame linebacker talking about Lennay Kekua as if she had existed after Dec. 6, the date that he and the university say he found out that the girl that he thought he was having a relationship with and who died of leukemia was made up. Oops.
I don't get this whole catfish thing. Call me "old school", but when I have real sex with someone, the other person has to be present and accounted for.
What if... Bill Belichick is actually Manti Teo's girlfriend and he recently leaked the story to hurt his draft stock enough that, after the Pat's win the Super Bowl, they can pick him up with the 32nd overall pick. Just saying its possible. Te'o-gate
Lennay Kekua AKA Diane O'Meara.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...i-Teos-dead-girlfriend.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Looks like you and Bill Simmons are on the same wave length http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8856794/the-all-teo-mailbag
the more info that comes out the more I believe that Manti wasn't involved. Nev Schulman, creator of Catfish believes he was the victim. now this guy Ronaiah knows both Manti and the real Lennay (Diane O'Meara). there's also the story of Manti's uncle saying Ronaiah has always been a liar and he didn't trust him when he first met him, he also says he wouldn't put it past Ronaiah to send another girl to meet Manti. there is no way Manti is involved in this unless he's a sociopath.
Hm, but Manti has (a) claimed to meet the girl and (b) claimed to talk to her considerably on the phone, to the tune of eight hours at a time (supposedly so he could hear her breath as she slept). Did some woman really put in countless hours, not to mention run-up her phone bill, for a prank with no discernible endgame?
A woman spending countless hours talking on the phone for no tangible reason at all??? Preposterous!!!
I dunno how you guys can say he wasn't in on it when Te'o supposedly MET Lenay after the ND vs Stanford game. They exchanged numbers then, so he had to know the girl in the picture was her. It wasn't. Then, Te'o's father claimed she would fly to Hawaii and meet Manti there from time to time. She never has. He's full of shit.
