He met someone who he thought was her. He also saw a fat man in a red suit and insisted it was Santa Claus.

In the internet, that's not as hard as you think. He claimed he met her in person. He met someone who he thought was her. Like I said, let's wait until until all the facts are out. If it happens he is lying, then go ahead and bury him. I just think people are reacting too fast.

@thebiglead Manti claimed to have met her. He claimed vacationed with her, per another story. What did he say to ND when it asked these questions???

At the very least someone's lying. Either Manti's a liar or he's an idiot. I'll agree with ya that hopefully the whole 'hoax' thing is true; but those are the only two options. I wouldnt say he is an idiot, I would just say that he got duped. See, to me, if he got duped by something like that.. dude's an idiot. Or the most trusting yokel off the turnip truck. Which is almost the same thing.

That's...horrible.
Also horrible, my thought of "Man, if he had won the Heisman, that would be the most amazingly awkward speech in hindsight."

So, he'll go in the past and not really say that he met her?

I'm trying to think of a way that Te'o could have been innocent in it, but the only way that comes to mind would be him being an idiot or the entire article being made up.
If he was the victim of an elaborate hoax, then the girl he said he met would have to be really close to the one in all of the pictures of this 'girlfriend' that have appeared, or he'd have to be too dense to really see the difference. While I can never underestimate someone just being that dumb, it doesn't seem like anyone would be able to make that mistake. At the very least, the stories put out about how they met are so different that that alone is enough to give credence to the idea that he was in on it.
This is just a bizarre situation all around.
I don't know, I need confirmation from elsewhere that everything said in the deadspin article is true before I buy all of it, but initial impressions do not make this look good for Teo.

Well so far ESPN, SI, Yahoo, NBC Sports are all ignoring this story.
Maybe we're all being scammed.
Is this real life!?
