So if we're to believe his statement, how do we reconcile it with what his father said here (as per the Deadspin story)?:

Gene Wojciechowski is on ESPN right now, and he is recounting the days following her "death". He never could find an obituary for her, and when he asked Manti T'eo about pictures of her and quotes from her parents, T'eo continued saying that they would prefer he didn't. He never spoke to "them". All communication was through T'eo.

And that's why the MSM dropped the ball on this. Look, people grieve differently. I get it, but when a guy doesn't attend his GF's funeral and there doesn't appear to be any signs of one, flags have to go up. Deadspin knocked this out of the park.

This is messed up. I don't know how he couldn't have known she was fake unless this story is completely fabricated. Sadly,it's beginning to look like it is true.

I mean the evidence is mounting and Te'o might as well hold one big conference to tell everybody the truth, then let this story linger because I am sure NFL teams and reporters will be hounding him and asking him questions about this story.

That's why I support Prince Tuesday's military coup. Show the photos Friday, what are you hiding.

Its times like this I sort of wish Vince Russo was still writing for wrestling. He'd have a fake girlfriend for a deceptive heel storyline on TV within days.

If the reports that the team knew about this on the day after Christmas are true, it might explain why Te'o played so awfully against 'Bama.

Notre Dame looks pretty stupid too, as in their statement they said they found out about all this December 26th.
You're gonna sit on that for almost a month?

@thebiglead Confirmed from 2 sources: ESPN has known about the Manti Te'o story for 10 days. Had been reporting it, but could not confirm.

Seth, seriously stop trying to play Devil's Advocate. You suck at it. I'm trying to say wait until everything is out before making opinions. Sorry if I believe the good in people instead of everyone being an asshole. No offense dude, but in this world your best bet is to assume that everyone is an asshole.

From Twitter: Is it just me, or did Mantei Te'o just became Lance Armstrong's bestest friend?

Or maybe the girlfriend exists, but Manti Te'o is fake!

@derek11w The girlfriend was fake that he met online but he found out about her passing from his brother? Huh. Wonder who told his brother.

@thebiglead Confirmed from 2 sources: ESPN has known about the Manti Te'o story for 10 days. Had been reporting it, but could not confirm. Very interesting. Just as we were leaving work today, Deadspin posted their story. Although, the story offered no conclusive proof per se, it was pretty damning to Te'o/ND, but a co-worker asked why run the story now without 100% vetting it. Another co-worker said because Deadspin is probably worried that it's going to get scooped. Bingo.
