it actually still wouldnt excuse making up a story that she Died to cover your gaeyness would it? just having a fake GF would certainly do the trick...

The biggest WTF is this: His grandma REALLY did die and he was going to get loads of pub and sympathy legitimately for her death...there was no reason to double down and throw in the haymaker of a dead GF.

I told my friends the same thing. If he was indeed involved or knew, then just say you did it because you were high profile and gay, and you were scared.



The gay angle is quite interesting. I think it's certainly plausible (that he is actually gay).

The death and everything this year can be attributed to seeking more hype and pub

Beginning the "relationship" in 2009 has nothing to do with gaining fame. Unless Manti is actually Ms. Cleo.

Well he's undersized and had an slightly above average college career so I doubt he has much future in football anyway.

But if you're gay and make up a gf you don't make your fake gf national news. You just go in relationship on facebook and keep it lowkey.

Being that he is Mormon and lets say he is actually gay.....

he may have just been telling his parents, friends, other family he had a girlfriend in Palo Alto. This goes on for years without them meeting said girl. They were supposed to met in Hawaii and perhaps meet his family, but she doesn't show. After this charade for 2 or 3 years his family starts thinking wtf? Manti does the old my gf died from cancer bc what kind of effed up parent would cal shenanigans on their son after dropping a bomb like that?

the car accident may also have been used as an excuse as to why she could not travel to met his family.

He weighs 250, was the consensus #1 rated high school linebacker in America, and finished second in the Heisman. As recently as a month ago he was projected to be one of the top 5 picks in the NFL draft. Dude is having one of the worst Januarys in the history of Januarys.

It could have morphed into a fame and pub thing once he realized he was getting heisman hype and he was having a good season. I'm certainly not accusing Te'o of being very bright.

This is the best possible theory I've heard so far, but why would he have his fake girlfriend die 6 hours after his grandmother?

The cover up have begun in earnest. They are pulling stories that was written about Teo and and gf. The one about them meeting in Stanford has been taken down.

That's all I got. Best news night in CFB in a long time though, this has been freaking entertaining.
