I know it's not in "light" of this, for I have no idea what in the blue hell is happening, but can I say that this Manti guy is really not that attractive?

Guys. I find this story as crazy and hilariously weird as the next guy.... It's got M. Night written all over it.... but I'm starting to worry about Manti. I really hope he's able to handle what happens in the future regarding this situation, and doesn't end up a tragedy. I'm hoping the same thing. If this pans out even half way as ugly as it seems to suggest it might, it will be a collection of highly debilitating humiliations from a personal and professional perspective for the kid. That's going to be a hard storm to weather for the rest of his life, nonetheless his potential pro career. Reading all the variously crazy reports (his family's assertions, the odd testimonials from NFL player family friends) and some of the possible suggestions as to why these bizarre lies would be dispensed (as a cover for his homosexuality?) I sort of get the feeling that he was put up to/forced into playing along with this. Now, who/how/why he was put up to these things is at this point a whole bathtub of worms (nee, can of worms), but I guess we'll have to see what weird next turn this story takes.

Even Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio were talking about this. Convinced me further that this could have been a Vince Russo angle.

I don't even follow American Football/Handegg, but god damn, this is interesting as hell! Oh, and that Usual Suspects post is easily post of the thread so far.

This is the greatest story of all time.
People do get duped badly online. Look at Catfish. But he's also told way too many lies. So here's my guess: At one point in time, he really did believe he was in a relationship with this fake girl he meant online. Once he found out he was duped, he was too embarrassed to admit it to anyone, so he just kept the lie going.

How about Te'o just release his phone records? He claims to have had this plethora of 4-8 hour phone calls with this woman. If they are there, then there is validity to his story and you have to start considering the (I still say, unlikely) scenario that he was not involved with this hoax at all and he really was duped. If they don't exist, he's nailed.

I look at it from this perspective: I think people don't care that he was in an online relationship. It's the fact that he lied, and kept the story going which made it worse.

@realfreemancbs Theory about why Manti did what he did has reached NFL team circles and if true absolutely explains his actions.
@realfreemancbs If this theory is true, Manti would end up being one of the most important stories in history.

@jadeveonclowny:
If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son Manti Teo has 99 problems but a girl ain't one.
A couple of jokes I did... Sang to the tune of of Maggie May by Rod Stewart. "Wake up Manti I think I got something to say to you I'm not a girl that's dead, I'm actually a dude"
Manti Te'o was devastated at the BCS NC Game when he found out that AJ McCarron wasn't lying about his "super hot girlfriend that you've never met, she's like not from around here"

That sounds like "covering up homosexuality out of perceived shame."

That sounds like "covering up homosexuality out of perceived shame." It certainly seems that way but I'm not on that train of thought just yet. Making up a fake girl is one thing but why all the stuff about her dying? Just say you broke up.

She dies and you can say you'll never love anyone else again or something like that, it doesn't sound like post break up crap and he could use it forever with little to no resistance or second thought.
