There's posts on Notre Dame boards claiming this was a big setup by Kiffin because Marques Tuiasosopo played for him in Oakland

If Lane catfished Manti, I'd never want him fired no matter how terrible he is.

You have to questions the authenticity of that and how genuine his beliefs are at this point. The whole mormon at notre dame got a lot of play as well.

She retweeted a tweet of his THe DAY AFTER SHE "DIED"

good god. There's so many holes in his story it's like the notre dame run defense.




That can be explained away. After she died, her "mother" supposedly took control of her twitter account.

My theory was Jim Delany wanted to take down Swarbrick and weaken ND to the point they have to join the conference.

Last night he said Te'o got a call from her on 12/26 from her number and it was her voice.


Awards banquet was on the 12/6 he waited 20 days to tell Notre Dame. But only two days after he allegedly found out it was a hoax he was still tweeting about his girlfriends death.

Movie turned into Mtv show about people who fraudulently dupe people into relationships online and via phone pretending to be someone they are not.

What's going to be crazier, the actual lie; the lies that Manti, his family and ND are throwing out to protect that lie; or the media's general acceptance of those lies?

To me, it's the media's acceptance of those lies. People lie, and people cover-up lies. But "professional" journalists should be held to a higher standard. How could they - and by they, I mean ESPN, CBS, New York Times, LA Times, Sports Illustrated, South Bend Tribune, etc. - not verify this story? None of them! Not a single one verified the story! Unbelievable.

"Catfish" means you have been punked online by a fictitious "love interest" who is not who they claim to be.

How much is ESPN hating having to credit Deadspin for breaking this story?

They cringe every time they read it.


Is ESPN going to have their reckoning for holding onto this for 10 days until after their broadcast of the NC game?
