I took this as the former player knew she wasn't real and that Manti was being catfished.
But, Manti didn't want to see it as him being catfished.

My guess is it is a graduated player who is currently in the NFL. So everyone knew they weren't "dating" last season when they were talking.

Still. A dude saying he "met her" is still strange even if Polamalu wasn't there.

Why hasn't anyone talked about this (Maybe you all have and I missed it) but how this revelation affected the BCS National Championship??
The coaches found out Dec 26th and he found out the 6th...it clearly affected his play and possible the whole teams play.
Also, yeah its far reached, I know, but Kelly interviewing the Eagles. Was he trying to avoid this?

Te'o isn't part of the team anymore so everyone is his former teammate.

No, it's not dumb. It's smart. I dismiss EVERYTHING that says "anonymous sources." More often than not they are completely full of misinformation or entirely fabricated.
Mike Tirico talked today about all of the Jon Gruden reports from anonymous sources that were hilarious because they were clearly straight lies. Like one that said he was in Miami picking out a house WHILE GRUDEN WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.
If there is no name attached then it's worthless to me.

It didn't affect the championship four touchdowns worth.

Manti is no longer a Notre Dame football player. That would mean anyone he ever played with at ND, regardless of their class, is a former teammate.

The guy that is supposedly behind it all is the one that introduced him to "Lennay".

Just because some are false does not mean all are.
I know a few players. I know how weird/different they acted when Te'o's name was brought up. Look at some of the player's tweets.
There's a good possibility it's true.

This right here. It's worded for maximum interpretation/speculation. In short, bullshit.

Furthermore, why hasn't anyone figured out who the girl is that Manti actually talked to?

Well, no, because it said "former ND teammate".
He's about to sign a big fat NFL contract is why.

I think part of the "judgement" is coming from the fact that we want to hear Teo's side of the story, and thus far he's declined to give it to us.

It could be that or it could be that the former teammate thought Lennay was real, but that they didn't consider her Manti's girlfriend, but instead more of an online friend. That the girlfriend part was being exaggerated in the opion of the teammate.

Swarbrick said the girl was still "in character" when she spoke to Manti and pretended to be "back alive" and he alluded to an entirely separate backstory about why "Lennay" lied to Manti about being dead.
Also I get that this Tuiasosopo guy is the "mastermind" behind all this but do we know who "fake Lennay" from the phone is?

i dont entirely agree with you. sometimes it's the truth and someone has to cover their ***. but right now, with this story, reports need names attached. this whole thing get to this point because the nobody checked the facts. unless a report states that they sat down in person with the source, it's impossible to believe. if you're going to harp on how silly it is to believe someone you only connect with online and on the phone, you can't build the foundation of stories on the same principle.
EDIT: grammar

I find it so funny that so many on here are always bashing others for have "a source" and this is exactly what this case brings. Some peoples "sources" say they know the whole story. So why don't they come out and say their name? Because these "sources" are made up. The source is the reporters own head. So many on here are always against these "sources" why not now?
