If you only read the OP, ur missin' a lot

A cut NFL player is claimin' to have met her 2 yrs ago...and he describes her and everything

i don't live under a rock, never heard of that movie, and only turn to MTV to catch the movie & music video awards....never heard of this show until this thread & story...let's not act like MTV is TV for everyone, especially if you're over 25

Thanks for sharing but I wasn't addressing you

I dont watch anything on MTV but have still heard of the show and seen the movie bc of this board

I'm thinking Mantei and Tuiasosopo had an undercover relationship going on and used the Lennay front as a way to write love notes and flirt back and forth. Sounds like Tuiasosopo's dad caught on to his sons downlow ways and banished his son to the church to become choir director in hopes he could change or be out of the spotlight as gay. I think it was like their little inside joke/flirty fling that also covered as reason why he couldn't mess with any girls on campus.

When he says he talked to Lennay on the phone 8 hours every night it was probably a code for Tuiasosopo and the two were probably as close as Mantei wants us to believe he and Lennay were. When the story about this girl got too big and he had to backtrack they decided it wasn't worth it and decided to play it safe and kill her off. But they didnt realize it would only make the legend bigger especially as his stock began to rise. The way Mantei talked about meeting her, talking hours on the phone, and never bothered to see her grave or question the story after a two plus year long relationship is more than sketchy.

Greeny is the only one buying into this whole hoax shyt

He's a tool. Of course he's gonna buy into it.

Father met her?....did teo introduce his people to a fake real-person?

but these athletes know her? ummmmm. Remember James harden was with an escort that he overpaid for?

I'll say it here first....I think she was an Escort in Hawaii and he caught feelings! Being heavily religious he wanted to keep his occasional sexual activity very private and to keep his image at a certain level. I MEAN WHY NOT!??! the story is weird enough as it is and this could be true.

Harden is a multi-millionaire who could pay for p*ssy if he wanted to. No college student, despite if they are given "favors" by boosters, is dropping that much money on p*ssy when all you need is a bottle of vodka, beer, music, and drinking games to get laid.

We can forget this escort theory because it ain't happening. The more I think about this story, the more it...

Sounds to me like dude and his buddy created a cyber beard to cover up the fact that he is gay and can't come out becuase of the whole Mormon thing. They should have thought twice about being such attention whores with it though because they made fools of the media and when that happens the media gets really pissy and wants revenge.

The big holes in Te'o's story is how they met and his family meeting her. I brought it up earlier, it's looking more and more like Te'o came out of the closet and his parents supported his decision. Given his stature as a Heisman candidate at a very well known football school that has regular national media coverage, his parents played along with this fake girlfriend thing to conceal him being gay.

Him publicly coming out of the closet while at Notre Dame right before he's due to make millions in the NFL would have been a PR nightmare for both his family, the NFL, and whatever team drafts him.

@ this whole story and @ ESPN making this a big deal on some leading story shyt.

ESPN saying this will openly make his draft status questionable

To me its just an embarssing story that will make for ton of talk show and internet punchlines but ESPN is acting like this is on some player got caught with PEDs type shyt.

I honestly think he might have been dumb enough to believe an online girl was real and his and thats it because @ someone actually thinking they could get away with this in 2012/2013...or any fukking year for that matter

See this shyt right here.......how can a man type such feminine sounding shyt like this and still be comfortable about himself.

 

[mozichrome]

this was truly 1 bizarre ass story & i feel some more info can still come out

 

[Izanami]

Mantie is 22 year old kid. Its a shame he is being compared to Lance fukking Armstrong a grown ass man how lied and try to ruin those in his way. This mantie shyt is waaaay over blown by ESPN. SMH

I still think the gay angle is a bit specious.

I was talking to one of my bros who knows a few people on the team and whose brother goes to ND. Said he met T'eo once and said dude is genuinely like bat shyt crazy. Of course, this is all very easy to say in hindsight...but I really think it was an elaborate lie all thought up by T'eo

Frankly George Costanza would be proud...except like all good lies the web spun eventually comes crashing down all around you.

Someone tell me what was posted in that article

I don't have the full article but I had copy and pasted a portion on a steelers board yesterday

And Manti Te'o is convinced the beautiful stranger will be watching too Saturday, somehow.

Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.

She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them.

The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest.

"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.

"And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."

About the time Kekua and Manti became a couple, she was injured in an auto accident. There were complications during her recovery. And it was also during her recovery that it was discovered Kekua had leukemia.

"That was just in June," Brian Te'o said. "I remember Manti telling me later she was going to have a bone marrow transplant and, sure enough, that's exactly what happened. From all I knew, she was doing really, really well."

Kekua, who eventually graduated from Stanford, was, in fact, doing so well that she was released from the hospital on Sept. 10. And Brian Te'o was among those congratulating her via telephone.
