re: Te'o's Girlfriend's Death a Hoax according to Deadspin

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

From ESPN comments, which are proliferating faster than you can read, a keeper:

These Teo jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.

Here a reprint of the same article in another newspaper that hasn't been taken down yet.

quote:

“They started out as just friends,” Brian Te’o said. “Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple."

Hmm... somebody's lying.

And Manti Te’o is convinced the beautiful stranger will be watching too Saturday, somehow.

Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.

Only met online according to ND AD. bullshite.

“They started out as just friends,” Brian Te’o said. “Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.

“And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won’t happen now.”

His girlfriend wasn't a trainer for LSU was she?

I used that joke earlier. He done Memphisplaya'd himself.

Kekua, who eventually graduated from Stanford, was, in fact, doing so well that she was released from the hospital on Sept. 10. And Brian Te’o was among those congratulating her via telephone.

That's a little tough to explain away.

If Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o doesn’t win the Heisman Trophy, the Heisman Trust should just melt the award and sell it for scrap. Te’o isn’t just the most outstanding player in the country this season, he’s the heart and soul of everything we want the sport to be, a glimmer of hope amid the scrap yard of moral and educational decay that is college football. Notre Dame is ranked No.3 this week in the BCS and represents a shining beacon amid the swill. With any luck, the Irish will run the table the rest of the season and play Alabama in the national title game in Miami. College football could use the public relations boost Te’o and his school provides. Te’o, as a Heisman Trophy winner, and the Irish, in an underdog role against Alabama in the BCS title game, are exactly what college football needs. It continues to suffer one disgusting story after another — Mississippi State’s indecent proposal to Cam Newton’s father, the lies and arrogance of Jim Tressel, the institutional criminality of Penn State, the fleecing of Miami by a conman, abuse of power by Bobby Petrino.

This is an article written by some guy at the Miami Herald on November 1.

Bet he feels so stupid.

I honestly think the whole thing was a scheme his father came up with and convinced him to go along with. Dude seems like the ultimate stage parent, and those are the kind of people who will pull a stunt like this.
