Manti Te'o lied about his Girlfriend dying

[MrBubba]

What happens when you chase after a Heisman without thinking

[rodeo]

But why the fug would a future NFL star need to make up a girlfriend?

Think about it for a minute.

Yeah if true, I would say how in the world did he manage to trick the media? I assumed the media would have good background on something like that, ie having the girl's name and background. How did he manage to trick everyone about this? Was his family in on it? Ultimately, wow! If I were an NFL team in need of a ILB, I wouldn't touch this guy at all after this.

[Riverboat Ron]

This is awful. I'm actually lost for words and can't even joke about this.

the media was in on it as well

Illuminati and all that jazz

Not sure if it's just a coincidence, but a good friend of mine growing up was Mormon and also a pathological liar. Me and another friend actually had a notebook we called the "Book of Lies" and we wrote as many of the lies down as we could.

If he drops far enough, someone will pick him up. He won't go undrafted...no way.

He'd be perfect for the Raiders or the Saints.

[Gabeking]

Better than kuechly!

[teeray]

If this is true it would be one of the greatest and most elaborate hoaxes of all time. I am not sure whether to be offended or impressed.

Keep this event in mind when you say "If all these people are reporting something it must be true." Or the old "Where there is smoke" statements. By and large the sports media is flat out lazy.

[TylerVagyler]

Te'o got pranked!!

hahahahah

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Deadspin did a number on Te'o. Mad props to Deadspin for sticking with the story and taking the time to do the research and find things out.

Having lost a parent to cancer, Te'o is a sick SOB.
