I have actually met Manti and have been around him several times... I would put a lot of money down saying he was not appart of this at all. Manti is just too trusting and fell into someones sick joke. This is a great honest person that now people doubt because he fell for the biggest hoax most people have ever heard of... Just my 2 cents
Then he is pretty damn dumb/naive. I still think he found out at some point, but was embarrassed to admit it. How did he not ask more questions about her death/funeral? Did he or did he not meet her? C'mon...we aren't as dumb as Te'o.
Only in your dreams, big boy. Would I put up a self photo in my avatar if I weren't real? Side note: purple is not my natural hair color.
On the field and classroom smart? Yes... Street smart? Not so much... To my knowledge he never actually met her and guys gave him crap about it all the time which is understandable.... and Germ has a point... I am no longer believing in Vito
Anyone saying Manti didn't have a part in this is as naive as they think Te'o was being. Let's be real for two seconds, he HIMSELF has said he met her. Multiple times. He said he talked to her every night as she was in the hospital dying. The girl that was used for his "girlfriend"s photo on Twitter was NOT his girlfriend, nor was she in on it. She was the one who blew the whistle on the whole thing when she saw her own pic being used on a famous dead girls twitter account. Manti for whatever reasons unimaginable made her up with the dude from LA (who was Manti's guest at the USC game) and then later snowballed it into a huge story about overcoming adversity to overhype his season. There are waaaaaaay too many proven lies that came from Manti himself for him to have not known what was going on.
Jadeveon Clowney on Twitter: What's creepier than Te'o making up a girlfriend and then pretend killing her? Nothing. LMAO, Clowney had a field day last night and was cracking all kinds of jokes on Te'o.
Brent Musburger released a statement today that he STILL thinks Te'o's girl is fine as hell. ESPN blames dementia.
Remind me again why a mormon football player would create a fake girlfriend at a homophobic catholic school? Ahh, thats right...
Let's take it easy on Manti yall....he just last week volunteered at the Humane Society after all....
On the off chance that Te'o is telling the truth, his Awareness rating on Madden 2014 better be a solid zero.
