Lennay Kekua, A Hoax!

[nlroma1o]

Great looking dog bro

Thanks dude!

My pride and joy!

That phone call that Manti received on the 25th (24th?) must have been intense.

Just imagine, getting a call from a girl you thought had died in September.

WOW!

 

[Irish Insanity]

It's pretty clear that ESPN wants Teo to be implicated in this. ESPN...King of the haters.

I hate ESPN too, but I read somewhere earlier that someone affiliated with the network admitted they had this story a week ago.

Jack Swarbrick has a talent and that talent is doing press conferences

Local radio here was the same. At one point it seemed like they were trying to imply that Te'o and the guy behind the hoax were secretly gay and this was a cover up.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

This sucks!

 

[PraetorianND]

It was a hoax. The relationship was purely online/ telephonic. Manti was completely duped. Manti will give more details tomorrow.

So someone called him on the phone every night?!?!?!??!?! Do they know who it was?

 

[NDfaninBama]

**** you

Easy, bro. I deal with serious things with jokes.

 

[EifertPower]

I guess Colin Klein not kissing his wife until wedding night is not so weird after all.

A useful talent for the Athletic Director at Notre Dame.

of course they are going to say they had it a week ago...

 

[nsideirish]

I disagree with most here...I think this isn't looking good for us...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Based on what exactly?

 

[Irish Insanity]

They seemed to be speaking as if they didn't want to touch it not knowing what was really what. Lol

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Easy, bro. I deal with serious things with jokes.

Not a joking matter.

 

[magogian]

Well-timed display of emotion.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Wow.

 

[TerryTate]

This is absurd.

 

[JughedJones]

Oh ****... Jack's breaking up.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

SWARBRICK!

GIVE HIM THE OSCAR!

Bravo

 

[Irish YJ]

genius.. pure genius

 

[JughedJones]

Well-timed display of emotion.

**** you.

 

[tussin]

If Manti had anything to do with this, then both he and Swarbrick should retire from athletics and focus on acting.

 

[phork]

Oh god don't cry Jack...

 

[Rudy89]

Could this hurt our image i mean I dont think we will get any Penn state or SMU levels of sanctions but can this hurt us, there is no chance the university knew anything about this right? This is surreal.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Only bad thing I'm seeing is Manti looks like an idiot when it comes to women in front of the nation.
I'm 30 and I'm still guilty of that.

 

[magogian]

Who is this **** reporter from Chicago?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

/drops mic
/walks offstage

 

[BobD]

Oh ****... Jack's breaking up.

?
