Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
If this "I got tricked" thing is a lie too.... whoo this kid is gonna get it. In the interview it seems like he was saying they met in person.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
this is never going to go away for him...he is going to hear about this his all through the NFL, and his entire life.
there is nothing he can do to make this go away...
If he did get duped I kind of feel bad for him, even though he is a big MLB, he is still a youngster...he brought this on himself though, he could have told the media the truth from the get go...

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
[QUOTE=irondarts]Yeah and a lot of news outlets reported that they met after the ND-Stanford game [B]in person[/B] why would media report that? Why would Manti allow it to be reported if it was completely false?[/QUOTE]
:roll: Can u find these man?

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
Me thinks Manti Te’o should have kept his mouth closed for a while longer other than to say no comment. This is going to get weirder

No excuse for a high profile sports athlete to get duped by a net chick they never met by claiming "girlfriend/boyfriend". Sorry. No logic involved whatsoever.

Wow. RT @TheBigLead: Confirmed from 2 sources: ESPN has known about Manti Te'o story for 10 days.[/QUOTE]
Just more proof ESPN is nothing more than an agenda driven spin machine rather than an actual news outlet.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
Te'o was clearly in on the whole thing. His parents said she visited him in Hawaii and he told the South Bend Tribune that they met in Palo Alto. Now he's just trying to save face by saying he was the victim of a hoax.
I bet he goes undrafted, or goes very late. Who's gonna want this guy? He's not even that great of a player. He got his ass kicked in the national championship. Couldn't get off blocks and missed a shitload of tackles.

:applause:
the only way for his explanation to make sense is if he felt so embarassed by being in a relationship with a girl online he felt like he had to embellish the relationship to make it appear authentic
but seems like a stretch. I find it hard to believe he was just duped

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
Evidently ND is calling a press conference @8PM. Will air on ESPN.

'How embarrassing. Guy is such a ****ing idiot I don't even feel bad.
Dude is overhyped anyways and won't have much of an NFL career.

NFL player marketing agent: Te'o will lose $350K to $500K in pre-draft marketing deals. "His brand just took a dive."

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
maybe he is gay. that's the only way I think he can turn this around and get in front of it. if he's gay and was using this as a cover then he becomes a sympathetic figure again

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
Leave him alone guys. He was a muscular, Heisman candidate at one of the most well-known universities in the country. I'm sure he had a hard time getting women's attention.
-
Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
Wow. I remember feeling awful when I read about his girlfriend passing and becoming a huge supporter of his. This has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard of in my life. Either the dude actually got duped and was embarrassed of an "online relationship", is a lunatic that wanted to up his marketing brand as much as he could, or is homosexual.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
[QUOTE=irondarts]People who are wondering if Te'o was duped by his friend are stupid, Te'o claimed to spend time with her, it's completely apparent he was in on the whole thing.[/QUOTE]
thats what i dont understand, how can he even claim that he didnt know it was a hoax, if he said that he has met her in person?
-
Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
look on the bright side...at least he didn't beat up his imaginary girlfriend.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
There is no way he was duped unless like someone in here brought up, he was duped and then lied about it because of embarrassment. But that's so... eugh. Whatever sound that is.
Definitely the strangest "sports related" story I have seen in a while. Or ever.
-
Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
I hope he got fooled. Really do. I hate ND, but I don't want to consider that a person could lose his grandmother then see it fit, on the same day, to say he also lost his old lady just for publicity. That's evil shit.
and if he did it to cover up being gay he's just downright ****ing stupid. you're a superstar football player, ain't hard to find a beard, plenty already have em.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
This is the most bizzare sports story I have ever heard.
Son will be subject to lockeroom jokes for the rest of his life. I feel for him during his rookie year. He may fall to the second round beacuse of this. :oldlol:

It definitely will. It'll PLUMMET might even go undrafted. Seriously, lying about the death of a fake girlfriend? Who the hell wants a psycho on their team? Can't imagine how his teammates would look at him.

Re: Deadspin: Manti Te
"The people who will be least skeptical of this are the people who live their life [with] social media as an important component of it"
--Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick
:roll:
This dummy. The fact that I use so much social media is why I'm extremely skeptical of [U]Te'o's[/U] claims he was duped.
Three years of dating the girl and he never saw her? Not even on Skype? He didn't have her Facebook page? He only had her twitter and phone calls?
So the story about him meeting her after a game at Stanford came from where? His brother thought Te'o had met her in Hawaii several times why?
