Your thread didnt last so you decided to come and post your comment where it was appropriate, if only everyone would do this.

Petrino wishing he had met this chick earlier

I wonder what random intern at Deadspin decided to actually try to get up with some relatives of this fake girl and realized "holy shite, am I crazy?"

What, are you saying Jessica Dorrell's real name wasn't "Lenny Kanay"?

In his response, Te'o claims that HE was the victim.
"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."
Yet he knew about all of the lies that were being fed to the media by his parents and Notre Dame and said nothing.

One hell of a crazy story.
Personally I am happy and laugh that the POS Pete Thamel was the one who wrote the BS story in SI.
For those that do not remember, Thamel was the undisputed #1 Cam Newton basher in the media. The king of Cam bashing who even was on the field right behind Cam or Chizik moments after the end of the BCSNC game with an angry stalker glare on his face. There is a pic somewhere I remember from then.

I like going back and reading some of the old feel good stories... like this one.
Manti
"When his girlfriend died, the natural reaction for Te’o could have been, "Why her? Why me?" It would have been understandable if he had been thinking about himself at that moment"
"“Obviously, going through what I’ve gone through, with my girlfriend passing away from cancer, that whole thing hit home for me,’’ Te’o said in a private moment the other day"

Too funny -- completely ripped this off of Landthieves, which may have ripped it off from somewhere else. In any event -- not mine; sorry if already posted.

The worst part of this whole thing is I'm not going to be able to watch videos on youtube without seeing an ad telling me that Mormons are real people and just like everyone else for the next 3 months.
