If he's telling the truth, that's one hell of a hard life lesson to learn. The embarrassment would be hard enough without anybody else knowing about it. Kids need to assume everyone on line is a 300lb middle aged bald man until they've seen someone in the flesh.

That presser was extremely awkward to listen to but extremely hilarious at the same time.

Let's, for a second, imagine this conversation:

Friend (Ronnie Tuisappo or whatever): "Dude, I got an idea as to how to boost your popularity."

Manti: "Okay, let's hear it."

Ronnie: "You have this fake girlfriend for a year or so. We put it on twitter and everything. Then, we say she dies of leukemia. People will eat it up!"

Manti: "Sounds good! Let's do it!"

Who has that conversation?

Remember, the article states they met either in 2009 or starting twittering each other in 2010. So they carried this out for allegedly 2-3 years...

Maybe they thought he could get enough sympathy votes to sway the heisman.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Man. Irregardless of if its true or not, his reputation is tarnished. Which just tells you....don't get in online relationships. Real, or fake. :)

I'm sure he didn't talk to anyone about his relationship and concerns for his new girlfriend's health, though he tweeted about her and sent flowers to a damn funeral.

Ridiculous.

Presser was a disaster. Even if he was the victim of a hoax, it makes no sense for them to let him talk about her at the BCSNCG. At the very least, they should have called ESPN and told them to back off reairing the emotional interview from October.

ND advised Manti to focus on game if questions about Leena happened and not draw attention to her. Wasn't complex. Understood the challenge of that.

Swarbrick won't say it affected his play on the NCG. His interaction on the 27th and continuing today has significantly affected Manti. Lot of sorrow here. Most sad about is (he's tearing up, struggling to speak) that the single most trusting human being he ever met won't be able to trust that way again. That's the biggest tragedy.

Not a ballpark of how many perps, no idea of characters. How many people were playing multiple roles, we don't know about that.

Notre Dame did not notify NCAA cause couldn't find any violations that were committed but was a focus early on. Did not go to authorities, but Te'o's might.

Notre Dame didn't contact authorities because that was the victim's decision to make, Manti's the victim. Him and his family have/had that decision to make. Notre Dame is not the victim. Manti Te'o is the victim.

Obvious this (deadspin article, subsequent media storm) caught ND/Te'os off guard due to how botched this attempted cover-up has been lol.

Omg. He was victim of a hoax. This is the worst attempt at covering something up ever.

Please stop posting things I agree with. It just doesn't feel right.

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."

I met my wife 14 years ago playing a card game in Yahoo. Hearts to be specific.

It's real and shows no sign of slowing.
