The Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Hoax Web of Lies

Just when you thought it was over..

Te’o tells Couric he lied | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/23/teo-tells-couric-he-lied/)

In one last desperate attempt to believe this kid and also to believe that he wasnt the most naive person on the planet....is it possible that he did have a four year relationship with an online girl and just exxagerated the extent of it. In other words, he never intended to pursue more than a simple online thingy, but wanted to be one of the guys so bad that he made it out to be a bit more serious than it was?
Edit: all the lies about meeting her n the funeral , etc were just a vain attempt to beef up a so called relationship because he didnt want all his friends that were dating the hot chicks on campus to know he was a virgin who was afraid to talk to women? I mean he does come across as the type of guy who would save himself for his wedding nite.
What if he wasnt naive or a liar? What if he was just trying to be one of the guys and it snowballed completely out of control?

what youre proposing as an "exaggeration" is being a liar.

If you say you met someone and you didnt, thats a lie, not an exaggeration. If you say you you sent white roses and you didnt, thats a lie. If you say you went to a funeral, and you didnt, thats a lie. Evertyhing Teo said was a lie.

Give the kid a break. Who among us can say that we've never had a fake dead online girlfriend?

you want to have a fake girlfriend - fine. but if you go on national tv and repeatedly lie your butt off, you have no right to expect sympathy when the truth comes out.

Heck, I have fathered children with fake dead online girlfriends.

Any guesses on who?

I mentioned this early on.

Speaking of catfishes, one was just outed a couple weeks ago that was rolling deep with the LL/HTTR/24-7 crew. She was even on their podcasts, but somebody ended up researching a bit and found out her pics were fake. Seems she had jacked up a few of the Redskins players for tickets.....lol Not sure if any of you follow LL's twitter, but it was pretty funny. The even funnier thing was seeing how all these clowns on the net were falling over her because they thought she was this smoking hot chick that loved Redskins football....lol


This chick.

I sit back and laugh at all the tools that fall over women like they've never been with one before. Hell, maybe that's the problem.


Niles Paul was one of them if I'm correct. I think Brandon Banks tried to hook up. I think LL/HTTR-24/7 can clarify the different players. I twas interesting to watch it unfold on twitter.

As ive said before they might have been little white lies just so that he was "one of the guys". He might have had no intention to ever marry her or meet her? Might have been beefing up a simple on line love affair into something greater and really thought she died. Not sure why that is so crazy. Im sure alot of teenagers- 20 year olds lie about getting laid or having girlfriends to fit in. When ur the stud player on the nd football team and the big man on campus i would imagine it would be more pressure to have your friends think as much.

He never said he went to the funeral. And what is the big deal about saying he sent flowers or met her?
Edit: when i say lie i mean he didnt lie about her existence. I believe he lied about little things to "beef up" the relationship. Again this is my opinion obviously. If im rite i dont blame him or fault him. Unless ur name is George Washington you have lied at some point in your life.
