Damn. Te'blow is so good that he even trolled his teammates
Dude needs to be a shoe-in at the 2014 Academy Awards

As he remains silent, some Irish teammates are coming to his defense and saying they don't think that he took part in the hoax.
"Absolutely it seemed real," said former Irish receiver John Goodman, according to the Chicago Tribune. "It was real. If you watch his interviews -- if he's that good of an actor, then Hollywood better be giving him a call. But obviously Manti is like the rest of us. It was real in the locker room, real on the field, and that's what I know of it."
Former safety Zeke Motta, who lived in the same house as Te'o this past fall, told the Tribune: "Manti is a great teammate and friend. I wish people wouldn't make comments about things without knowing all the facts."

Knowing ND, I know they do more to protect/maintain their name brand than any other college. It's common sense that the SID would have sat Manti down when the dead gf story first broke, told him that the media would be coming after him, so give us the skinny so that we can spin it the way we want it to be spun.
If Manti gave those people the story that he peddled for however long, and Swarbrick got up on podium and said that we hired a PI and Manti was duped, then both Manti and ND are lying. If Manti told the truth and said this was an online thing, then ND lied. If ESPN/NBC refused to do SOP and follow up and background check, then they were in on the scam. NO ONE comes out of this thing alive...

Posted this earlier, and got no reply.
I see above that one of Manti's former roomates spoke up, but he didn't elaborate on anything. We need to hear more from the guys around Te'o.

Quick question:
Is there any record of any Notre Dame teammates confirming last spring that Te'o's girlfriend was in a car wreck? Was he telling his buddies last spring that his girl was in a serious car wreck?
He obviously told his teammates that his girl died the week of the Michigan St game, because Coach Kelly gave her the game ball.

It's because no one knew all the facts about this "girl" that this is even a story in the first place.

new story coming that this guy duped Teo and he knew nothing about it. on espn now
Posted on 1/18/13 at 11:11 am to RollTide1987
BREAKING NEWS ON COLIN...
A woman who knew roniahiah tusia, whatever, said he confessed that he duped Te'o and Shelley Smith was breaking it...
I call BS...

Correct. The irony of such a statement as some sort of exhortation against anyone leveling any criticism about or towards Te'o at this point, is unreal.

And even if he was "duped", he still kept the lie going long after he knew...

Well, sorry Shelley, you're about a week late on this

These people are just digging their own graves
Teo was in on it. All of the known facts support this.

I guess she is on ESPN right now and will join Colin when she gets off...
I am guessing this was concocted in the past 2 days to take some heat off of Te'o, Notre Dame, and ESPN. I still do not belive any of it. Too much evidence to support the other side, that he was part of it. NOW, if he was to come forward with his phone records showing that he spent long hours on the phone with "her" I might change my tune.

Wait so let me get this straight.........
ESPN is willing to run with a story from a "girl" who said she confessed that Roninah admitted to duping Te'o
YET
ESPN sat on a story with much more evidence just to save it from ruining the BCS title on their network
right

No. Doubt. About. It. Anyone who tries to explain otherwise is ignorant.

Exactly

Someone telling me they believe teo was "catfished" is like someone telling me they're a scientilogist. I just walk away.
Posted on 1/18/13 at 11:27 am to DelU249
I may have missed it, but what proves that Teo concocted this fake girlfriend from the beginning just to get more attention?
I do think he embellished on the nature of the relationship by calling her his girlfriend, but I haven't seen anything that he came up with this master plan to lead the hoax.
