Amazing story, Amazing person

Dealing with own grief, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o comforts parents of dying girl - College Football News | FOX Sports on MSN

Truly an inspiration.

There are no words that give justice to this man's actions. Inspirational indeed.

At USC Te'o may have just been another big time linebacker. It wouldn't have changed him as a person, but LA doesn't care about this stuff. Just amazing how he ended up Irish and he's been able to make such a big impact on the lives of others like this. Great guy on and of the field.

I knew once Manti decided to come back, great things were gonna happen.

I NEVER expected to watch a kid suffer as much as him, and rebound as well. I never thought I'd watch him put a team on his back.

I NEVER expected to see a real life hero.

Manti is a very, very special young man.

It's a blessing having him on our team, but it's more of a blessing having him as person in our struggling society.

Manti Te'o is the perfect embodiment of what a true hero and a student-athlete should be. His courage, leadership, and inspirational ability are what living, breathing examples of what Notre Dame stands for and it's part of why I love Notre Dame.

Great story. He's already won the Heisman in my book.

Great story. He's already won the Heisman in my book.

I'm with you on that one!

Im honored to be a Notre Dame fan and to be able to show my young son what a true young MAN should act like.

Teo will go down as one of the 5 greatest people to ever attend ND....simple as that

I'm not an emotional guy, but that article got me tearing up. It's one thing to say that you care about others but it's entirely different to go out and try and help those who need it.

 

[Irish#1]

I'm not embarrased to say I had tears in my eyes.

Manti is destined for greater things in life.

 

[bjohnmwc]

As a parent and as a ND fan, I almost dare you not to tear up.

Sometimes you say, the hell with being a great football player -- this guys is a great person. Not enough of them to go around.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

It just amazes me the level of maturity and humility this young man displays on a regular basis. I just turned 40 and honestly do not think I could handle what he has been through with such grace. It really does humble me that I can learn such lessons from someone about half my age. He really is an inspiration.

If this guy isn't at least invited to the Hesman ceremony I will have lost faith in College Football and all it "stands for"
