re: Deadspin: Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Story a Hoax (now with drug dealers!)

This was brought up on the SEC Rant but has anyone given thought to the notion that the father could be the grand master behind this whole scheme? He's the ultimate show boater parent and was the one who gave us the most damning quotes against Te'o when it comes to this fake girlfriend of his. He's the one who said she came to visit in Hawaii and all of that junk. At the very least I think he could be complicit in all this.

Dude just got straight up catfished.
There's tweets from early December of 2-3 people making fun of playing him.

The dad does seem a bit off...but that would just make things stranger.

There are too many caches for them to get rid of all of it.

I said it several pages back but I wouldn't be surprised if the whole scheme was thought up by the dad and Manti just went along with it because he hero worships his dad. Mormons are fricking weird.

This story is so fricked up.
Either
A:
He made it all up and fricked it up the only way he could by killing her off in spectacular fashion (young adult cancer on the same day as his grandmaw dying) thus drawing unnecessary media attention to a person who doesn't exist.
or B:
The "official" story is mostly correct and Te'o is quite literally the dumbest human being on planet earth, while also suffering from severe emotional issues.
He is fricked.
For some reason, I feel that A would be better for his NFL career.
Would you rather your team draft a guy who lied his arse off to get ahead in life, or possibly the dumbest human being ever?

An interview with the dad would be $$$ right now. Most of the damning quotes were directly from his mouth.

I saw those. Looks like Te'o wasn't involved in the beginning. I'm guessing he developed an online relationship with "her" and then when she "died", he had to embellish their relationship to not look like a fool in front of the media. After a while, he was caught in a web of lies.

The only thing more fricked up than the "Te'o made it up" and accompanying conspiracy theories is the "official story" that Te'o was successfully trolled for over 3 years.

Part of the cover if it blew up?

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?
Because two deaths in a day is a more compelling story than a single death
