Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend? Yeah, she's fake.

My reaction to all this.

College Football these past couple seasons have not been about playing the game of football.

Hearing stories that his teammates knew she wasn't real but he played along because he liked the attention LOL. Things are not looking good for him.

Like it matters really LOL

Sounds like damage control. ESPN and the other sports news outlet should all feel embarrassed.

And to think I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

They finally found Te'o's girlfriend.

Lennay! LENNAY!!! LENNAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus, I'm not sure the company that employs Skip Bayless has any room to talk about journalistic integrity.

^^^ LMFAO :lol:-Halftime-

Why is this even news. Why do people even care?FPSfan1985

Because it's funny yet bizzare at the same time. And it's a story that humilated not just Te'o but also the sports media.

Plus this guy could be a high draft pick in the NFL.

Whether he gay or it was for publicity, guy's still a POS. There's people out there with loved ones that actually died of cancer (me being one). F*ck this dude.

[QUOTE="GamerForca"][QUOTE="CJL13"]

I like how ESPN actually considers that he's telling the truth about being duped, like how the fvck could you believe that, did they even read the report?

If Jim Jones can convince that many people to partake in his kool-aid concoction, then it shouldn't be surprising that one person can actually believe that its ESPN, ND, and the World versus him.

Drink up.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="GamerForca"] They don't really believe it. Just making sure to defend America's Christian School. Kinda like how they knew ND was going to get trounced by Bama and yet spent a month trying to convince viewers that it would be a close game.white_sox

Who the f*ck is Alex Jones, and what does he have to do with the Te'o story? And your last post had nothing to do with the topic either, you waste. But since you're so worried about staying on topic, then let's see you concoct a defense for the most overrated player in college football. I mean, Notre Dame doesn't lie to protect its program, right, so there's got to be a reasonable explanation for all this. :lol:GamerForca

What is there to defend?

• I don't know the details of the story
• I don't personally know any of the people involved

You seem to know it all and you're already complaining about ESPN under-reporting the story. God forbid we give it a day to actually find out what happened before condemning the person and in your case, the University and any sports network that doesn't make him out to be satan reincarnate.

Clearly you're still bitter about the media coverage ND gets...

And yet Jarvis Jones fought real diversity (his brother was murdered), but the national media never said sh*t about that. Really time to take those awards from Te'o, he sucks and his sob story was a bunch of BS. GamerForca

I wouldn't get that bothered until the whole truth comes out

Then everyone can start being bothered by it all

Getting interesting.

LOL, once again claiming that I give a sh*t about ND, get over yourself. All I do is point out that your program is full of crap (which it is), and time and again I'm proven correct. I've done the same thing to Alabama and USC (among other programs) on here and yet you're the only one who pulls this "you just jealous" crap. Hell, I've attacked my own program on multiple occasions, specifically the coaching staff. I might as well call myself bitter. Again, get over yourself.Te'o deserves every bit of criticism he gets, we now know he was lying about his girlfriend even after he allegedly told the school she didn't exist, and telling the world your girlfriend died of cancer is a CLASSLESS and borderline psychopathic way of garnering Heisman votes. He basically stole awards from better college athletes. GamerForca

You wouldn't make a point of comparing your program to ND if it didn't bother you. Simple as that.

If he was or wasn't in on the hoax, it's bad either way for him

WTF.

OK. Deep breath. Aaand: Source confirms to Trib that Manti Te'o's fake dead girlfriend said she faked her fake death to escape drug dealers.

Ok, this is just getting awesome now.

[QUOTE="white_sox"][QUOTE="GamerForca"] LMAO. 42-14 and still talking trash. You're a waste.GamerForca

Apparently he had an interview with Jeremy Schapp where he strongly denied any involvement and generally stuck to his guns. I think within the past 12 hours this story has gone from fringe-Tyson Zone (where Bill Simmons implied it was earlier today) to up there solidly with the other 5 (Black Sox Scandal, Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan, O.J. Simpson's murder case, the Kekich/Peterson family swap of 1973, and Tiger Wodds).

Starting to think he is actually innocent in all of this. People had this same guy pull the same **** with their cousin.

Talking about crap that your program does isn't comparing my program to yours. Gtfo with that crap.GamerForca

Clearly I'm talking about media coverage, ya know, the thing I originally brought up. The thing you cried about in the other thread. "Crap your program does"...I don't even know what you are getting at. I haven't refuted/confirmed anything or given my general opinion on any f***ing thing Manti or ND has done.

I couldn't possibly care less about ND, especially after that joke performance in the title game. That's the last time I'm going to say it; I'm done with your posts. GamerForca

That's probably for the best. Your argument started to crumble when you began typing.

[QUOTE="GamerForca"][QUOTE="white_sox"] This thread has nothing to do with the BCS game. Shouldn't you be preparing your tinfoil hat and tuning into Alex Jones right about now? Bobbles
