the deadspin story if anyone hasn't seen it

truly bizarre, the whole world is turning into tmz/espn

my favorite part is that he and ND can dole out BS responses that the mainstream press seems to take at face value. That won't be the case when he gets interviewed behind closed doors by NFL personnel. That would be some good convos to listen in on.

OK, now it’s really getting weird.

On the same night the story of Manti Te’o's girlfriend and her death last year from Leukemia was revealed as a hoax, an NFL player insisted “No, she is real.”

Um — what?

Reagan Mauia, who played in two games for the Arizona Cardinals last season, said he met Lennay Kekua in person during an outreach trip with Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers and others in June 2011.

“This was before her and Manti,” Mauia said Wednesday, according to ESPN. “I don’t think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was — I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa.”
