Sounds a lot like a very odd catfish scenario to me.

The article reads like Tuiasosopo could have orchestrated it without T'eo's knowledge... but what would Tuiasosopo's motive be?


You ever had a gf you've never met? No way he was not in on it.

And Notre Dame did not do themselves any favors with that statement. They've known for 3 weeks and not done nearly the investigation that Deadspin has done in that same time frame. Nor have they read the article. Mantei has been in on it for at least a few months and now hes trying to say he just figured it out in December?!

Dude he and his gay boyfriend are in for it. And I'm guessing mom and dad have known for a while themselves.

if he'd never met her, that doesn't mean he never spoke on the phone with someone claiming to be her.


He said he met her at Stanford. And went to Hawaii with her.

How so? Te'o says he talked to her, tweeted her, sent her flowers, met her, etc.
all tuiasosopo needs is someone who has an effeminate voice and the first three can be true

and it'd be pretty embarrassing for anyone to admit that their girlfriend only exists online, so of course T'eo would lie and say he met her.

What does this do to his draft stock? This guy is now a publicity disaster.



Nothing. Some dumbass team will give him a mulligan.

This is the same league who praises a killer (Ray Lewis) and gives second chances to everyone

How do we know Deadspin is correct? They said they did research.. but how can we be sure? I'm going to wait until we know more before making up my mind.


well since ND has already put out a statement that Te'o is the victim of a hoax, its already been confirmed the girlfriend didnt exist.

But its just impossible to believe he was fooled b/c he claims to have met her several times, talked to on the phone for hours, and sent flowers to her funeral.
