Manti Te'o lied about his Girlfriend dying

[YoungPanthers89]

A fake smile doesnt sound so bad now does it?

[TylerVagyler]

so he met her in 2009 and she died in 2012. he got played for 3 years and didn't know?

yeah....

[TylerVagyler]

There's a theory that Te'o and his friend involved are gay together and this story was to cover it up.

wow.

[carolina-chuck]

This should def get Teo undrafted if it is true

[carolina-chuck]

The man def has a psycho problem if its true

[TheRumGone]

and once again this offseason just keeps getting wierder and wierder.

[Gucci Mane]

If this all turns out to be just a rumor, Manti Te'o is going to be PISSED.

I really miss Lennay Kekua.

lol

can you imagine if he had actually won the heisman? the speech he would have given? the backlash?

Manti Gay'o

Let it be known

[Matthias]

Honestly what team would draft him after this? Other than the Jets who we know love headlines?

The best explanation for this lie, is if Te'o is homosexual. Of course, there is no good reason to lie about something like this, but it would be more understanding why he did it. Other than that, he needs to talk to someone and get help.

Manti Gay'o

Let it be known

pretty much about the only way he could salvage this thing if he can't get everyone to buy the whole "i was duped!" thing is to come out of the closet and make himself a tragic hero of some sort who was too afraid to come out of the closet but now embraces himself or something like that.

[Matthias]

With all this said about the theories as to why he lied or continued a lie, let's keep in mind not to discriminate against homosexuals.

[Murph]

Time for Panthers fans to start asking: If he is still on the board when our 5th rounder comes up, do we.....?

Te'o interview with Jim Rome where he discusses his "girlfriend": http://takebox.stucknut.com/?id=18c3

Listening to this now is fuging insane:

Rome: "Tell me about her. What was she like?"

Te'o: "Man, uh, I can't describe her. She's my best friend. We talked every night on the phone together."
