Call me naive but I actually believe Te'o's story. Guy seems to be a pretty big Mormon, probably wants to marry a Mormon, I don't imagine there are a lot of Mormons at Notre Dame, a Catholic school, so if this fake GF was presented as a Mormon then maybe he took the bait and was duped? I think it is plausible. Woody probably can't wait till draft day to draft him. Imagine if Tebow is our starter week 1 with Te'o starting at LB...the circus continues...
Manti Te'o didn't have a dead girlfriend http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57564381/manti-teo-says-hes-the-victim-of-girlfriend-hoax/ Notre Dame said Wednesday that a story about Manti Te'o's girlfriend dying, which he said inspired him to play better as he helped the Fighting Irish get to the BCS title game, turned out to be a hoax apparently perpetrated against the linebacker. As news of the alleged hoax spread, Te'o himself released a statement, according to CBSSports.com, saying he as the "victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies." The week before Notre Dame played Michigan State on Sept. 15, coach Brian Kelly told reporters that Te'o's grandmother and a friend had died. Te'o didn't miss the game. He said Kekua had told him not to miss a game if she died. Te'o turned in one of his best performances of the season in the 20-3 victory in East Lansing, and his playing through heartache became a prominent theme during the Irish's undefeated regular season.
They are reporting that he had spoke with her on the phone so it would be tough to get past that part and still claim that the relationship was entirely online.
My thoughts as well... his dad stated that she came to Hawaii to meet him but now Te'o says they never met. This is a bizarre story.
Yeah, one of my best friends lives on the North Shore and he hates the JETS....I would've gotten his little groms some T'eo jerseys if he was drafted.... bad enough his family are UF alumn and naturally huge Tebow fans, so I got them to cheer for the JETS by default :lol: This shit is weird :jets::shit:
I agree, I believe he is gay, and thats not accepted at a christian school so he used a fake gf to cover it up. Or maybe he just has no game, either way, why would a star player need a fake gf? he could litteraly fuck any sorrority slut on campus at his choosing?
Sweet! This means Teo's value will be down. We might get lucky and be able to scoop him up in round 2, or trade down in round 1 for more picks and still get him. I like it. In reality who cares about this. Dude's probably insecure with his sexuality or something. He can lie all he wants as long as he gets sacks! Take the meaning of that statement however you like.
