given all the facts that we know right now, i'm inclined to believe that Te'o is super naive.  He was hoaxed by someone and it went way too far, so the fake girlfriend was killed off to end it. 

I completely believe that he would have made up stories of meeting her to avoid the awkwardness of a bigtime football player having an internet girlfriend.

Either way, this story is fantastic and I don't want it to end.  Now there's a football player for the Cardinals that says he met the girl before Manti was in the picture?  These twists are great.

The problem is he lied, his life was revealed, and he continued the l lie. He has zero credibility. He knew what he was doing.

Exactly, no matter how this whole thing turns out he is and always will be a big liar

So best case scenario is that he lied initially about having met and spoke to her so he didn't look like some huge loser pud for having a twitter/facebook only girfriend.  Except he really played it up by saying that he talked on the phone with her for eight hours a day for four months leading up to her death.  That goes well beyond not wanting to look like a dork into blatant lies to benefit his Heisman campaign.  Then he found out it was fake and still continued to lie about until Deadspin exposed it all. 

There is no "I'm a complete victim here" way out of it.  The great thing is that it appears that both he and ND are going to go for it anyway. 

It reminds me a lot of last night's episode of "Guys with Kids" where Anthony Anderson (Big 12 voiceover stud) forgot his wife's anniversary but then got reminded by his bro it was his anniversary but he realized his wife forgot too so he decided he would make an amazing anniversary night to make his wife feel bad. Then he got caught in his lie and hilarity ensued.

If this is all true, why is the university so deeply involved in this. Seem to me they have more interests in this to protect other than Te'o's image.

It brings up an interesting question - is it worse to lie about someone that never existed for publicity, or to get in fights because you're a racist loser? I almost think fighting people and being racist is worse.

it's interesting now to see that there are reports that his teammates thought it was all fake from the beginning.

At the beginning I couldn't see any way that he didn't know about it, but the tweet records from @justinrmegahan have flipped me.  The interesting part will be piecing together how much he embellished things for attention and how much coverup was happening during the last month.

The only thing that gets me is that if you date someone online you talk on the phone (as admitted by Manti) or you skype. At the very least you're sending pictures back and forth of dongs and hoots and stuff. How would Tuiasosopa pull that off? Or better question, could you date for that many months without questioning why you haven't done it yet?

edit: If you're a mormon, then yes you probably can


I'm just now catching up on this thread at work but the phrase "Dongs and hoots and stuff" made me lol.  That would make a good name for a forum.

Yes, they moved very, very quickly...much more so than a school that doesn't think it needs to prove anything.

he HAS to have some sort of press conference today, right? 

Also, the twitter account of the fake girlfriend said that there will be some answers at noon PST.  So this afternoon is going to be fantastic.

Who hired the independent investigative firm? Seems like that would be an impermissible benefit for a student athlete. What had been done against the University? If a player had their identity stolen, would the university pay to investigate?
Sorry for the bump of my own crap, but does nobody think this could play out as impermissible benefit for a student athlete? At least tell me I'm full of crap or something, because I am being serious.

That story seems a little more likely to me. Whitlock said on twitter that the locker room usually knows.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

PI was for the University's benefit to protect there own interests. They can make it sound like they did it for Te'o but if the NCAA comes and asked it would not be that hard to say that since Te'o was a visible part of their program that they need to protect themselves. It's bull crap about the PI but that's what they can say.

PR decision.....Manti has 2 hours until this fake girlfriend issues a statement on twitter....does he have a  press conference before or after?  I say before, totally steal his fake girlfriend's thunder.

Bet the statement is in line with ND's press statement yesterday. If it is not, hold on to your butts. ND is not handling this whole thing well right now.
