OT: T'eo a fraud?

[UCFBfan]

The sad part about all of this is that it won't affect him AT ALL in terms of the NFL Draft. Ray Lewis freaking killed someone (supposedly) and is a NFL icon now. I find it funny that ESPN even spent time asking this question to Mark Schlereth on the 6 PM SC.

Notre Dame is almost too all-in on the kid's side - whatever they know, and whatever their investigator found, I'm guessing it points toward the kid being a victim of a hoax.

Looks like this has a ways to go before it plays out - some of us need to get together to buy the movie rights to this sucker.

nd will need a new ad soon the way hes going off the cliff. i sugest we start pimping warde manuel to them...

u can stab a guy, murder some 1, drink n drive, beat dogs and so many more things in the nfl. but can u fake a gf? that may be considered soft in the nfl...

alabama qb frucks a queen, nd lb frucks a keyboard. nd is back!

ND must have tons of info about this multilayered hoax because Swarbrick is going all in that Manti is the victim. There are still too many details that make no sense, the several times Manti met her in Hawaii according to his father.

Yeah I thought so too. Disappointed that ESPNNews didnt cover the full press conference.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Swarbrick and ND have hitched their wagon behind this kid 500%. This is awesome.

[brasssbonanzaa]

This sounds like a guy who is lying on the stand.

 

[huskymedic]

ND claiming student privacy right. We really need a ROTFL emoticon.

 

[Dann]

how about that match.com commercial? thought it was well timed.

 

[Vowelguy]

Was he the perfect mark in that he was willing to run with the girlfriend idea (eg, gay) so that he added these extra details suggesting they had met?

 

[Santini35]

Jack laying it on realllll thick there with the tears....

 

[Jax Husky]

Is he crying because of poor Manti? Or because he sees his career going down the tubes in real time?

 

[specialisthusky]

both

 

[superjohn]

Wow, that fake cry was something else. "The saddest part of all of this," fake cry and a sip of his drink, "The single most trusting person I've ever met will never be able to trust again and that is a great tragedy." Oscar award winning material from Jack.

Manti's stock is already gonna go down with how he did against Bama

 

[Jax Husky]

Notre Dame is more concerned about this fake death than they were about the real death of a student videographer.

 

[huskymedic]

Can you imagine the evilness of the folks who pulled this off IF, BIG IF, it pans out as stated by good old Jack?

Every amateur investigator is going to try to save the day or nail to cross. Seems like way too many loose ends to tie up. Where there is money to be made... Some canary will sing loudly.

Too many brand name journalist where made to look silly... They will be out for blood.

I found the pic of the girlfriend:

The full story is going to come out. In which case, it would be crazy for Swarbrick to lie at this point.

 

[Vuce]

If the Nd version is true then Manti is extremely gullible/naive/stupid. This went on for 3 years and this girl was the love of his life and he never met her? When she was in an awful car accident he never went to see her? same thing with the leukemia. Very very odd.

 

[junglehusky]

Somewhere, Lance Armstrong is smiling.

Somewhere, Lance is thanking one of his lawyers for spending all that time pretending to be Manti's girlfriend, and managing to keep the story from breaking until today.

I found the pic of the girlfriend:

bahahahaha... Te'o couldn't resist her taco flavored kisses...

 

[Jax Husky]

From irishenvy. Is this real?

quote:
When Swarbrick broke up I did not cry but tears came down my face-sometimes God allows a pure heart to be hurt to show the evil in the world for us to make a choice. The media should be ashamed and now I understand how this kid played so miserably in his most important game. Now the game looks sooooo unimportant. I dont know about you guys but my prayers were answered for this kid. Manti Teo a Notre Dame man.​

Wow. Emily with the ladies' perspective:

@EmilyNoonan
Let this be a warning to any girl who thinks ab dating Te'o. If you get a terminal disease he won't visit you. Or go to your funeral. #catch

I can not wait until south park has a teo episode.
