re: Deadspin: Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Story a Hoax (now with drug dealers!)

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."
