Well that was quick.

He's kind of in between a rock and a hard place right now. Admitting to being gay(which I think he is) and playing one of the most physical sports in the world would get awkward for any locker room. I personally think just going along with this hoax internet GF story would probably be best for his NFL career(sadly).

Very true either way he screwed his self (no pun intended)...

I really hope the off season continues with drama like this. It will make August seem like a week away.

[Khaki Lackey]

My prediction.

He's a pathological liar. He will lie and say he's gay to avoid the heat, live as a gay man for years to maintain the ruse and then go on Oprah to come out as a heterosexual.

well last year we had the saints meltdown and that was epic.

i could see this if he thought this up to just get the recogniton for the heismann. something that emotional could easily propel his story and give him national coverage. I know i didnt know of manti before the double death story.

What the hell is up with these Notre Dame pricks and the Heisman anyway?

Theisman changes the pronunciation of his name from "th-ee-sman" to "th-eye-sman".

Imaginary girlfriends.

Eerie.

"Update 6:10 PM Wednesday: Suffice to say, based on the hoax story, Te'o will face some tough questions in the coming days, and certainly at the NFL combine. His answers will matter. And yes, it absolutely will affect how he is evaluated as an NFL prospect. Everything matters."

That's what Mel Kiper added to his mock draft notes of Manti.

So this girlfriend that he called "the love of his life". He never visited her while she had cancer. WTF bruh.

greatest recognition in college sports. elite group. to be the first defensive player to do it. Especially this year when theres no amazing qb or truely dominant rb it was quite easy to think if he got enough recognition of a double death then playing amazing could push his story to the top to win it. just speculating. I am a fan of the irish and te'o so im just waiting for facts and not believing anything at this point

Google what Charlottean (ardrey kell hs) and Manti's teammate Prince Shembo did at Notre Dame his first semester in South Bend. Amazing we never hear about this.

I don't think he's draftable, not with a story like this attached to him. Got my doubts he could evn be picked up as an undrafted free agent.

I mean seriously, can you imagine putting him in your locker room?

Good grief, this is the NFL we are talking about. If you can play, someone will give you a chance. Everyone was afraid to pick Burfict, and he quickly became a starter on a playoff team. Te'O's draft stock will fall even further than it was already, but if he is as good as some people think he is, his career will be fine.

i never considered that. why are you talking to her on the phone instead of buying a plane ticket while she's dying of cancer
