He is an absolute idiot if he holds a press conference. I never get why people that are in no win situations feel the need to continue to defend themselves. Just hide bro.

Just saw this. Wow!!!
This is awesome. Manti will not have much credibility in the future because of this. Nobody likes a liar.
I love it when shite like this happens to Notre Dame. Now if something like this could happen to Bama......
Also, is this thread worth the long read?

Swarbrick is much too smart to put his career on the line to stand behind ND without evidence of some form; ND had so much to lose by making those statements without some type of proof.
Are you serious? ND's media machine was pimping the death story to every news outlet in the world. They are totally involved in the post-fake-death cover up. They have no choice but to deny deny deny at this point. What are they going to do? Come out and say "Yeah, we knew there was no funeral, but we wanted to keep up the charade to get Manti a Heisman"?

This is a good point. Since he is a Mormon, do you think there are other fake dead girlfriends out there?

Well ND knew since Dec 26 so once story broke they were prepared with their reaction and might as well get out ahead of it instead of letting talking heads fill void.

Because they used the story in the first place as part of a PR push for Te'o and the team. The AD's fricked either way. This way he can at least hope that ESPN and SI will do their best to bury this.

When will Te'o Visit Obama seems they would both work good together both lairs from the island.

AZ Cardinal Fullback claims to have met "Lennay"
I don't think he got the memo that they are over trying to say she was real.
Posted on 1/16/13 at 9:13 pm to rocket31
I've heard Lennay Kekua just started dating Pepe Silvia.

Rocket come on 
Why do coaches come out saying they aren't taking another job And then take the job saying they weren't going to take.
They trying to save face

May have been posted, but now there is a NFL player claiming he met the fake girlfriend. Was he duped too? This chick must be a mastermind and must love Hawaiian dudes - -
Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, said he believes Kekua existed because he met her in person when he and other Polynesian teammates and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu went to do charity work in American Samoa in June 2011.
"This was before her and Manti," Mauia said Wednesday evening. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was -- I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa."
Mauia said Tuiasosopo -- whom Mauia believes is Kekua's cousin -- introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an "after-party" for all of the athletes involved in the camp.
"She was tall," he said. "Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model ... "
He said it is his understanding that Kekua's mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he'd never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said: "No, she is real."

certainly not making the issue worse by having an unprovoked PC..?
i suppose they could certainly be that dumb, but it just doesn't make sense man. JS has to have something to be so definitively sure of Mantis innocence.
