The questions Mike Greenberg listed that he wanted to ask Manti are spot on.

don't understand how anyone can believe a single person from ND until they answer me one simple question. If Manti was tricked with an "online" relationship then did he ever meet her and go on vacations like he is recording as stating?


lulz...ESPN won't ask questions like this...it requires journalilzm

Manti is an instant locker room distraction. Much moreso than someone with criminal issues. Those players don't give a shite if you smoke weed or drive drunk and get caught.

His teammates will never accept him now for this.

Plus he's an average LB, not Ray Lewis consensus HofF'er.

They won't care if he's able to get his shite done on the field.

Where did you send the 2 white roses she requested, do you have a receipt or address.

Who were you talking to that told you she had passed

Well clearly thats going to be a large issue as well.

He is average. And no one takes on that big of a distraction for an average player.

I wouldn't touch him with a 10ft pole if I was an NFL franchise.

The fact that the funeral took place in a City that doesn't exist (CArson City, CA), if he did send flowers there, they would have been returned to sender or at very least the florist would have gotten back to him and said "uh, sir, there is no such place as Carson City...are you sure you have it right?" then he would have had to investigate...he didn't because his entire story is BS

I could make a list of at least 50 questions that would stump him.

This is the easiest interview in the history of journalism.

Also, On Dec. 8, two days after Te'o supposedly found out his girlfriend was not dead, he told media at the Heisman Trophy presentation: "I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer."



LULZ...dude is such a liar no matter if he was tricked or in on it.

None of this has anything to do with play on the field. Will it be funny to clown him? Hell yea, but these NFL guys have more important shite to do then clown him all the time.

I think Manti told some white lies about their relationship (i.e. that they met in person), not for publicity, but because it's embarrassing and/or difficult to explain a strictly online relationship (I'm sure now he wished he hadn't for obvious reasons). I do believe he legitimately thought this girl was real, had a relationship with her, and believed she died.
