From IrishEnvy.com:

"Can you imagine playing your a$$ off like he did inspired by the death of a fictitious girlfriend? And the violation he must feel? Timing the death of the fictitious girlfriend with that of his grandmother? That is some cruel sick stuff. There is no way Manti would distract attention from his Grandmother's passing this way. He is just naive. A small town boy who thinks he is worldly b/c he is a big-time baller but at heart he is still just a naive island boy."

No way someone is devoting hours and hours of phone calls to dupe him. He's 100% in on it.
Has anyone heard Tuiasosopo's voice before? I'm really wondering how effeminate he is.

This is mostly on the media's perception of Notre Dame.

In their eyes, ND is larger than life as a football program and Te'o took advantage of it for his own publicity. He doesn't get the same kind of recognition at a smaller school.

If Manti was catfished then there had to be some girl who helped his buddy by staying on the phone all night with Manti, night after night. Not buying that for a second. And who played the part of her family on the phone? Manti was obviously in on it.

maybe his parents really hate gays and he was scared they would ostracize him?

Deadspin was first tipped off by a Bama fan, who came up empty while looking to poison flowers at Kekua's grave.

Did Te'o give any speeches for the 7 (or however many) awards he won this season? Wasn't he the "most decorated" something-or-other?
