He made up the dead girlfriend, apparently. Thats messed up....

EDIT from GH: I thought that this should have its own thread. Here's the link of the Deadspin article that got this kicked off:

Oh, don't worry, Tampa wants Dee Milliner so he will be just another player that Detroit takes before Tampa gets the chance :lol:

Yeah, mission accomplished for him I guess. Without the personal interest story I don't think he is a hiesmen finalist.....

Too bad he couldn't hoax a good game against Bama. Bet hes still having nightmares of Eddie Lacey trucking him.....

The combine is going to be very interesting in the interview session with Mr. Te'o especially if they get into details.

I was never really aware of that story before now and never thought he shouldn't at least be considered for the heisman, fwiw.

Manti is full of shit.


"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."

I believe everything he says up to the point of not meeting, especially when "she was dying." There is no way a person would allow that to happen to someone they care about without seeing them first.

He's "grateful for the support of his girlfriend's family"?

Quote:
Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.

She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them.

The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest.

"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.

So, i haven't heard any of this stuff about Teo, I've read a couple of the things posted in here, but all i seem to take from it is that he either thought he had an online gf that turned out to be something other then what he thought, or did he make up the whole thing? And what's the deal with the fake death? Im confused

Notre Dame and manti are trying to claim he was duped, but it was an elaborate hoax he was in on. I linked the deadspin article in the cheaters thread. its a good read if you have time to check it out.

Well yeah, which is all part of the lie. If he tries to act like he was duped into the whole thing, there's a lot that says to the contrary.
