Your objective semi-troll
It's confirmed. One in a billion talent, right there
I don't see where the voice experts said it was a perfect match
There's links that say the initial voice-mails weren't that of a woman (Dr. Phil's guys)
Plus, other experts say it's not a woman
All these vids prove is; he can sound like a woman, on a TV show, after weeks of deliberation as to what source would actually get the interview
I'm not convinced; too many inconsistencies
You think it was the female cousin that they initially reported?
The records show that in that four-month span -- when Te'o has said he believed Lennay Kekua to be in a Los Angeles hospital recovering from an accident and being treated for cancer -- Te'o made and received more than 1,000 calls totaling more than 500 hours in length from the same number in the 661 area code. The 661 area code covers Lancaster, which is part of Los Angeles County. The source told Schaap that Te'o believed the 661 phone number in question was Kekua's.
A source close to Te'o gave ESPN's Jeremy Schaap documents that the source says are Te'o's AT&T phone records from May 11 to Sept. 12, the date that the woman was supposed to have died. The logs are not originals, but spreadsheets sent via emails, and could not be independently verified.

Schaap asked why Te'o didn't go to see Kekua in the hospital.
"It never really crossed my mind. I don't know. I was in school," he said.

Highlights of Manti Te'o interview with Jeremy Schaap - ESPNMANTI TE'O: "Bro call me back, Lennay got in a car accident. Need to you call me back." So I did. I eventually found out that she was in a coma and she was in a coma for quite some time, a couple of weeks. And I would talk to -- I would ask to talk to her, and the only communication I had was through Kainoa, her brother, and he used her phone. And he would put me supposedly right next to her mouth and I could hear the ventilator going. And she would be breathing. And she would quick -- they said every time I was on the phone, they would tell me the nurse noticed that whoever was on the phone with her, she must have recognized the voice because she would start breathing quicker and I could hear on the phone.

As for the female cousin; I believe it, but, it seems the only source is one unnamed family member
I still need to see if it was, atleast, a couple more family to implicate her
Good points on the prior post. Assuming Manti was actually catfished I just find it hard to believe that Ronaiah could get someone, especially a cousin, to stage them calls for that long.
Either Ronaiah did this all dolo or Manti was in on it, I just don't think there's anything in the middle. But who knows, lol.
When asked who he had been speaking to all that time, Te'o said: "Two guys and a girl are responsible for the whole thing."
He was asked if he knew who they were and he said: "I don't know. I don't know. According to Ronaiah, Ronaiah's one."
So he really does have a 1 in a billion talent like all those FBI experts said he couldn't?
This nikka now has a career along with his payoff!
It's more plauisble than dude doin' this for 500 hours...
Manti Te'o acknowledges lying in first TV interview - ESPN
Again; dude deliberated, for a couple of weeks, about who would get the interview. Maybe I need to see the full thing, but, I'm not convinced by those "tough" looks Dr. Phil was givin' him.
This was done on Ronaiah's terms.
Whose to say he didn't rehearse this? Dude had it in him to pull this entire stunt for years, whose to say he can't for an interview? Again, why didn't Manti release his original phone logs? Not some spreadsheet with call logs: (from same link)
I'm still not convinced Manti was a socially awkward, fish-outta-water, sheltered guy and couldn't have caught on. He was datin' other women, while "with" "Lennay" (check a few posts back) and his teammates didn't even believe him.
Both guys have lied too many times for me to believe the Catfish/I'm-gay-and-wanted-a-release-because-I-was-molested angle. It'll be a shame to make light of molestation.
The evidence doesn't back up the claims, they both admit to lying and Manti is just not forthcoming (ie, him and Katie Couric having the same reps [that was the only TV interview he did], not releasing the original call logs, waiting 'til Deadspin exposed this, to say something).

That was the only TV interview he gave. Coincidence? I don't know much about CAA, but, it smells...
Even after all this; the only reason he "found out" was because he got a mysterious call right before the national championship game. Really? Nothing else stuck out as weird, enough for him to investigate?
I don't believe he'd never want to see the love of his life.
I don't care "she" told him not to visit. He didn't find it weird "she" wouldn't give him the name of the hospital? And if he had the name of the hospital, why not look it up and go there? "She" almost died, a few times, and the only thing keepin' you from visitin' was, she said so?

I can see if your lady had the flu or something; Indy to Cali is a long way. But, a near fatal car crash, then, a cancer diagnosis?? He couldn't get a hospital name?
"She" conveniently died a couple of weeks into the season, 2 games before the Stanford ("her" alleged alma mater) game:

So, Ron' was playin' Lennay, her brother and had a ventilator, in the background?
Who is "they"?
To believe Ta'i means; you "want" to believe it or you havn't been following close enough. I think I've been pretty detailed and I'm still leavin' some evidences & reports out.
I don't believe the story we're being given from his side. Whether he was involved or not, his story doesn't sound like the truth.
nikka this ain't no CSI conspiracy.....just get the fukk over it.....that nikka Teo got catfished by some Samoan fakkit......nothing more complicated than that
Teo was a mormon Samoan who has got tricked by a fakkit online. shyt happens all the time. This is just the first time the whole nation has seen it on national TV.
Teo admitted he skyped with other broads...how the fukk is this the 'love of his life' and he aint never skyped with her or never thought to do it....and then lyin that he met the broad at a game....he was in on this shyt...anyone who believes otherwise is gullible as fukkk
