Lennay Kekua, A Hoax!

[Whiskeyjack]

I want to hear from Jack, "We have identified the co-conspirators of the hoax and we will be taking decisive action. Two units from US NSW DEVGRU are en route to their compound. We will issue a press release when their deaths have been confirmed."

FTFY

I"ve never been this curious to watch a presser from an AD in my life.


It would be awesome if it was just a mic with nobody standing there.

Fake presser.

They should get the CNN hologram machine.

LOLOLOL!

 

[GATTACA!]

Any info on how Te'o found out about the hoax? I imagine there is another fascinating story there.

 

[GoldenChild]

What if I told you..a college football great had a love that wasn't there? ESPN films "30 for 30" Presents 'Her', story of Manti Te'o's "GF"

LMAO I feel so bad for laughing at this stuff but come on...if you can't get a chuckle from this you my friend are a Scrooge.

Manti Te'o statement, issued via CAA: "Emotional relationship with a woman I met online." Not at Stanford in 2009. The key discrepancy.

This is where the whole thing could implode. He HAS to admit to lying one way or the other.

It would be far better if he was duped and then lied out of embarrassment.

Anyway, where has the whole met at Stanford thing come from? I literally never heard of this until today.

More than a couple of my friends have met girls via online sites/chatrooms/emails.

I've met a few of them, not knowing how the relationship started. NOT ONE TIME did anyone of them fess up to being "Matched" or "Meeting in a singles chatroom". You usually find out later when you catch them in a lie, or they finally fess up after a while.

It was always, "Oh, someone introduced us" or "Through work".

Manti met this "girl" as a young man in college online. Going "online" to find a relationship carries a certain negative stigma. He was probably embarressed to admit how it started, so he probably came up with the whole Stanford bit, running it by "her" to make sure it was ok. And of course it was.

That one lie has exploded in a way not ONE of us could ever fathom being a possible outcome.

Maybe there are some other faucets to the story, but for now, I still have him in the same regard as I did, with the exception of him being a bit too gulible.

Possible blackmail attempt or a future extortion case?

A young female than demands money or truth is revealed?

Wow...

 

[Kak7304]

I hope Swarbrick doesn't tell us the season was also a hoax.

This offseason has been as stressful as the Pitt game.

my thoughts exactly...all of this. i kind of hope this is the case.

 

[BurningRiver]

I have midterm exams tomorrow but haven't even opened my textbook. Couldn't Deadspin have picked a different night to break this?

 

[Irish YJ]

If Teo had no idea, I wonder how his next meeting with his pal, the mastermind behind this, will go. #beatbloody

 

[irishpat183]

Possible blackmail attempt or a future extortion case?

I wouldn't doubt it....Exposing this may have saved Manti from a FAR WORSE situation down the line

Exactly.

I feel like I'm dreaming and I'm going to wake up soon on January 7, 2013.

Anyone know something about the homo thing?

what midterm lol most semesters haven't even started yet

 

[phork]

I want to hear from Jack, "We have identified the co-conspirators of the hoax and we will be taking legal action."

And: "Bob Diaco coincidentally happens to be in the area on a "recruiting trip" and will deal with them post haste, thank you."

 

[Woneone]

Thank God for the Lance Armstrong interview tomorrow.

Pre-Marital Sex.... a true safeguard of happiness...

 

[koonja]

I feel bad for Te'o, and I hope AJ Mcaron's gf does too and leave that giant doucher for Manti.

Is press conference going to be live on ESPN?

 

[Woneone]

I figured it was only a matter of time before rumors like this started.

Just tell your teacher that your fake girlfriend died......



sorry, couldn't help myself..

 

[condoms SUCk]

Who was the girl he was talking to on the phone?? Manti has to be able to tell a guy from a girl, right??

Side note- now I see why he declined playing in the senior bowl.

 

[Old Man Mike]

The investigative key to this case is finding the girl that Tuiasosopu enlisted to play the role.

Also, I'd like to know if a girl ever showed up in Hawaii and if Te'o's parents ever saw her.

Those two elements might exonerate Manti as nothing more than an extremely naive young man, whose life has been a sheltered spiritual one.

 

[mgriff]

On the bright side, Manti's gf is now getting the same amount of attention as AJ McCarron's.
