It really doesn't bother me and I've just been laughing at how much this has blown up in their face. Watching him get so deep and emotional on espn about his girlfriend was classic

The more I hear about this, the more I think it falls solely on this Tuisosopo cat. Initially I thought Te'o was in on it, now I'm not so sure.
Same here.
I think Te'o exaggerated the relationship to the world, but was no mastermind.
My guess:
Tuiasosopo creates Lennay Kekua, introduces Arizona Cardinals player to a woman posing as her at party in Hawaii. She is actually someone else obviously.
Seeing the potential for hijinx, Twitter account for Lennay created by Tuiasosopo.
Tuiasosopo pegs Manti as the next target.
Tuiasosopo's woman is hired to be Manti's phone contact.
shite gets real from Manti's perspective. He grows feelings.
Tuiasosopo knows Manti wants to meet in person, throws in terminal illness so the relationship can end. Misdirects him to Hawaii twice where Lennay never shows.
Stanford plays ND, so they'd have to meet, right? Nope, death by Leukemia.
Tuiasosopo trolls ND woman "Jan" @ USCw/ND game, tells her Samoan girl with him has Lupus.
Tuiasosopo's puppet persona, dead Lennay, calls Teo's in Decemeber, don't know why.

Yeah, and he had 8 hour phone conversations with Manti every night for 3 years
Anyone who thinks Manti is innocent and got duped is just dumb. What about him meeting her in Hawaii. You don't have a gf that you've only met once or twice.....especially if she's "the love of your life".
Manti is still trolling fools

Deadspin believes the all night phone convos didn't start until early 2012

Something had to happen in 09? Unless that report was fake/told by his dad and Te'o didn't want to dispell it because he was already suspicious and didn't want people to start digging.

When did Manti say the marathon phone calls started?

You're a gullible little fella, huh? I got some ocean front property in Wyoming if you're interested

It's awesome looking back at the statements he was making and the reporters almost crying and now knowing the person didn't even exist. It's comedy gold.

You're the one who is gullible or just stupid if you think Manti created this whole thing from the beginning.

:csb:
I think Te'o embellished his relationship, and maybe even lied to himself, or withheld details from others to make it more real.
However, I doubt he planned this to prop himself up. If he did, I'll give him credit for being an amazing, misleading POS

why? I find it very bizarre that you would actually have any ounce of respect for him.
Some people respect anyone who is good at what they set out to do.

The one thing that I couldn't understand, if he was in on it, why go to Notre Dame the day after Christmas and tell them it was a hoax?
Posted on 1/17/13 at 4:16 pm to Billy Mays
don't forget Troy Palumalo
Posted on 1/17/13 at 4:19 pm to Billy Mays
no matter what, he still brought her up and said she died on Dec. 8th. He can't come out clean in this
maybe reporters were calling him about it
