Yeah, if there weren't all these quotes attributed to his dad meeting her, and talking to the her family, and things like she was gonna be our daughter in law, then it would make it easier to believe Manti was just duped. It's way too complex to just write this all off as being the victim of a sick joke. Why the hell would you make up a bs story about how you met after a Stanford game, if you are just a sucker that is getting duped?

Every time I see that clip of Kelly giving him the game ball after the Michigan State game, I think that it's odd that players had an idea that it was fake and their coach made the sweet media moment in the locker room. It all just fit so perfectly into the media story everyone was spinning, and I wonder when people at Notre Dame suspected something was off too.

And the dad was totally involved. You can't tell me that a man who wanted to blacklist the newspaper for a picture that showed him missing a tackle didn't have a hand in the media's love story.
