His explanation was even more bizarre and twisted than the accusation.By the time draft day arrives,all will be forgiven though.Dennis Rodman was a board certified nut who played for years.My guess is he goes to the Bills.

Who cares? Our country is going to hell, and this is what we´re worried about. This has gotten more play from the msm then Benghazi.

Te´o ought to go to ground and shut up. The more he talks, the more he looks complicit in a hoax.

Concur #2. Between this and the never-ending Lance Armstrong saga, it´s now wonder that low-information is "cool".

Aw, c´mon, ye doubters. Good gossip is always entertaining, especially when we are surrounded by doom.

Hope the Charges don´t waste a pick on captain sensitive. He was exposed in that Alabama game. As far as the fake girlfriend thing goes, who cares?

I predict...
One season with the Raiders. He´s injured in the third game of the season. Out for at least a year.
Everyone loses interest, in droves. He´s last heard complaining to his new love interest, "Chad...I don´t wike my oatmeal fis wumpy!"
(Pouts)

Enough already. Who cares unless he is throwing the games? The MSM has spent more time on him than on Benghazi or even Hillary´s "illness". THe MSM is getting more and more like Entertainment Tonight and the National Enquirer. It is one way to suppress the real news less it harm their idol, Barack Hussain Obama.

What´s with the ap´ostr´o´ph´es? Alphabetically challenged?

Samoan, #11.

Wont read the article because the subject seems inane, but didn´t the illustrious sports press (the same clowns that picked notre dame) get fooled more than anybody?

This Te thing is nuts. I´ve got bigger fish to fry than to burn time thinking about which NFL team will draft Te. Move along, nothing to see here.

What´s next for Te´o? Hopefully, obscurity. Enough already.

I can´t believe this is on the Must Reads here at L.com.........

Revealed as a hoax prior to the Heissman award.

He knew at that time yet he continued on with the lie.

Notre Dame knew as well and kept quiet.

Karma for the faux Catholics running that institution.

Notre Dame is guilty of pimping out Te´o for the Heisman, which would have made Notre Dame look good to alums, donors, football recruits.
I consider them much more guilty than one mentally disturbed lad. And Notre Dame also pimped out the abortionist in chief.

Finally, the name Brian Bosworth comes to mind. He was a zero, but captured media attention for a few years. Mostly for his haircut.

Saying that he did it to win the Heisman doesn´t make sense. This was going on long before he had any idea he would be Heisman-eligible. Long before anyone could have guessed ND would be 12-0. The story is crazy but it´s crazy to say that his accomplishments on the field were fake too. They weren´t and ND and Te´o´s performance at the BCS game would have likely been better if this hadn´t been hanging over their heads. The truth should have been told by Te´o and by ND when they knew and they could have gone into the championship game without the guilt. As Catholics, they should have known the power of a good Confession!

Te´o is mormon.
The stunt was going on for a long time, but someone decided it would be a great story if the ´girlfriend´ died from leukemia, in September, 2012, when Heisman hype goes full steam ahead. And she ´died´ the same day his grandmother actually died.
Second post apologies by the way.

Time to come out as a Jim McGreevey "proud gay American."

C´mon, Manti - - no one really cares if you´re a homo.

Bread and circus. The interest and absorption over this nonsense is one more piece of evidence of our country´s decline.

Maybe it is just me....but I really don´t give a rats´ rear about any of this.

Nothing´s changed, #23. Remember Liz and Eddie? Why did anyone care? But, they did.

Can´t conservatives walk and chew gum at the same time? Can´t we have a little fun? Some of us need to lighten up a bit.

As for the Heisman push, that´s what ND (and every other major school) does. Remember when ND changed the pronunciation of Joe Theisman´s name from Theesman (what he called himself) to have it rhyme with Heisman?

Who reallly gives a flying rat´s nether regions? This is the kind of crappola that the media fixate on so that we don´t see what Fauxbama is pulling. And no, I can´t name the Kardashian sisters.

Let´s talk about something more substantive, like the fact that our school children can´t read at grade level.

What difference does it make?

I can´t believe that most of the posts on this thread are painstakingly put there by those protesting this story has no news value, they are not interested, etc., etc., etc.

How to look really, really silly....

Lucianne has a lot of articles up. Move on. Quietly. Or is this an attempt at some sort of news snobbery?

You´re right, 27, none, except that Hillary has got to be somehow involved in this . . . it´s the kind of web she weaves. Maybe the girlfriend actually died dodging bullets while on a secret mission somewhere in North Africa.

Maybe Øbama needs to do something constructive for a (first time) change and replace the FBI and CIA chiefs with the top dogs at National Inquirer. ("they get their man") /sarc tic

I SO don´t care....

All these cats are donks: Armstrong,teo-Manti, Tuiasosopo and some of the others-the K sisters. If they were GOp there would be court charges against them...
What would those charges be. who knows, but this entire kubuki and distraction would be off the front pages due to the court issues.Some DA would go after.
It might be fraud, creating a nuisance, disturbing the peace/ all these are included charges in other more serious ones.
The Benghazi thing the economy and on are swept under rug.

"Who cares?" is not an acceptable response on this site. The editors care about bringing a cross section of current popular information to our readers. The next "Who cares?" will get the poster blocked. First time we´ve ever said that but it´s time.

If you don´t care, you shouldn´t waste our bandwidth.

Talk about a thread killer!

I still think he was in on it to get the character vote. If he knew she was real, I can´t see how he could not have visited her in the hospital when she had the accident, and then found out she had leukaemia.
His parents are the ones that crack me up.

I would like to see one of those live, man-on-the-street interviews with three questions: How big is the national debt? Why did Americans die at Benghazi? Should Manti Te´o sue the hoaxster?

Guaranteed we would see blank looks for the first two.

No flowers, no candy, no attempt to meet her?

He kept talking about this love affair days after the hoax had been discovered. Including at the Heisman presentation.

I think he looks like he could perform the Samoan fire dance. He would look pretty good in a lavalava and leaf anklets twirling a fire knife. Probably that takes more skill than packed in football protective gear.

I´m with 2. Is there some reason I should care about this?

A sad, duped child´s story not worth anyone´s time.

Proudly announcing I have no idea who this moron is. If you do, and complain, write ESPN or whatever and tell them to grow up.

ABC´s GMA is obsessed with this jock´s stupidity and gullibility. A obvious deliberate diversion from the real news that people should be informed about.
