Crazy article about Notre Dame player Manti Te’o - Says dead girlfriend is a hoax

[mastermind]

And no, I'm not so at all. I'm just looking at the whole scope of everything.

I didn't say I believe his story 100%, and i don't. I just said I believe it moreso than before. Especially with the interviews with these new people who said it happened to them. I highly doubt they are simply paid actors hired by ESPN or Te'o.

Notre Dame, Te'o, and ESPN were talking about the girlfriend during the National title game pre-game press conference and during the game.

He talked about meeting her in Hawaii and shyt.

Dont be naive about this. At best, he may have believed at first it was a girl, but he carried on with it and kept adding shyt in there.

It shouldn't though. The actions of one person don't define a whole people. But either way it's not a good look.

thats our culture breh, you bring shame like this my people's are very judgemental like that, esp the Elders from back in the day mindframe

Nah I understand that. I was saying nobody outside of your culture should look at ya'll funny because of this.

MikeHumesESPN: We had no parameters on questions. While no tv cameras were permitted and use of audio was limited, we can use anything from the interview across our outlets.

 

[O.G.B]

Now it looks as ESPN is trying to one up deadspin with the ridiculous interviews of Te'o's family/friends including a personal interview of Te'o himself instead of holding pat until they have more substantive information, one of the main reasons they and other media outlets got tricked the first time!

At least I can spell it.

Sole, he prolly got a grip of dough for his "girl's" si'i for her funeral and didn't want to return the money.

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

He really is stupid a off camera interview makes you look guilty it doesnt help at all

Drug dealers are now involved? This faggit Samoan Manti needs to just take his L. Nobody believes you, you need more people. His story has too many inconsistencies and holes. Have the police done a full blown investigation or spoke about this case at all? Also, at that scrub Marques Tuiasosopo and his bum-ass cousin Ronaiah Tuiasosopo too.

This story is

I pray RM don't draft this weirdo

offsubject: Breh I went to school with 2 Tuiasosopo brothers who were cousins to Marques and they worshipped that bum but they were good peoples, broke a lot of the high school records too, as they should have, they were built like Patrick Willis standin at 6'4"

If I still knew em' I mighta got the inside story

richarddeitsch: Some of you have asked: I can say with near-certitude that ESPN did not pay for Te'o interview. Not how they do editorial.

ProFootballTalk: So the Te'o interview lasts 2.5 hours, but ESPN.com publishes 32 words from Te'o proclaiming his lack of involvement in hoax.
