Manti Te’o girlfriend may be the biggest hoax since Notre Dame was ranked #1 in college football.

LOL!!!

Maybe they should do some fact checking before they run with it. I don’t feel for anyone involved.

Te’o has some ‘splaning to do. I’m curious what his answer will be.

I think this will be one of those “life lessons” for a young man with a pro football future ahead of him. His public image took a hit. We’ll see how he reacts very soon. ND has some stake in this too… standing with their athlete and team captain.

I guess if I were in a similar situation and it cost me $$ (NFL draft value), I’d probably sue the bastard/bitch who did this. Although he is not regarded in NFL quarters with great athletic talent… rather a player with a great attitude who can make a significant contribution on defense… I’m hearing that his NFL stock will take a hit. That translates into lost $$$ value.
———————————–
Suing someone would be a terrible move. Remember, when you sue someone, everything you have, everything you’ve said, everything you’ve done is subject to “discovery”. Everything. Do you really think Te’uh-oh wants EVERYTHING to come out, so to speak?

Anyway, let’s just hope that he gets over the make believe pain he felt when his make believe girlfriend died from make believe cancer.

That was a month after he supposedly learned of the hoax and nearly two weeks after he told Notre Dame about it. But they let the public go right on believing the sob story.

But AD Swarbrick says this is why Te’o was outplayed during Notre Dame’s drubbing by the Tide. At this point, I wouldn’t believe either Te’o or Notre Dame if they said water is wet.

If you’re sick of the coverage and don’t want to hear anymore or just don’t understand the fuss, I suggest you turn off your tv’s and stop surfing the web because there is a ton of interest in this crazy story. Otherwise you’re going to be miserable for quite a while.

People need to lay off the KID. He tried to save face and it ended up blowing up on him. We have all looked like an ass at one point or another in our life so have some sympathy. He shouldn’t be thrown to the wolves over this.
—————————————————————————

People will lay off when he stops lying. Instead of coming clean, he’s making an absurd attempt to paint himself as the victim when that’s clearly patently false. People don’t like liars (Manti Te’o) and institutions that cover for liars (Notre Dame).
