Sure, I totally believe that the middle linebacker at Notre Dame chose to have a 3 year relationship that involved falling asleep several times while talking with a chick that he had never met because the relationship was so strong. It's also totally believable that when he found out she was dying he never made it a point to visit her or even attend the funeral. Makes perfect sense!!

Is anybody quoted in the press as saying he TOLD his dad this?

quote:

"They started out as just friends," Te'o's father, Brian, told the Tribune in October 2012. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there."

It is implied here, from dad, that Manti told this to dad. If not, then dad is lying. But that in itself proves dad was in on it.

Did Manti say that or did Manti's Dad say that Manti said that?


Or did some reporter (South Bend Tribune, perhaps?) say that, not revealing the source (I am talking about them allegedly meeting at Stanford).




Again, I'd bet that story was completely a product of the Notre Dame sports publicity department, and is one of the reasons they're so desperate to fling bullshite everywhere they can -- to obfuscate their very deliberate part in pushing the story for his Heisman campaign.

Does it matter? If dad said it, then either 1) Manti told dad that Manti met her, but Manti was obviously lying at that point. Or 2) dad was lying.

Big difference. I think Manti was stood up and was embarrassed so he lied to his Dad and told him that they had met up in those places. I don't think he ever expected these stories to be known by anyone else but his dad.

As opposed to Manti coming up with these stories to further perpetrate the relationship in the media/public.

that teammates didn't believe the story in the first place

players knew the story was "fishy" from the start

Manti liked publicity and would point out to others when he was on TV


looks like this will eventually come out that he was "in the know" of something at some point

My favorite part of the press conference was when Swarbrick said:

quote:

"The people who will be least skeptical of this are the people who live their life [with] social media as an important component of it"


Ummmmmmmm what? Is he really that out of touch with reality?

I miss the a/s/l days. Wonder if Manti ever used that one.
