It would be uncharacteristic for a Catholic institution to save face by backing a male liar in an influential position rather than revealing the truth. Oh wait..

ND FB star Te'o , made up story of dead gf.
Thoughts?
I'm surprised Manti Teo even knows who German Fernandez is.
No idea why he would make up a story of him dying, that's weird.
please ridil me this wrote:
How is this point being overlooked by anyone that believes Te'o and the Notre Dame AD at this point? On-line relationship and he never met or saw her? Pleeeeeeez!
i mean there had to be a female involved who talked to him. she could also easily video chat with him as well.
now why her video chat picture wouldn't equal her twitter pic is another story.
The only way he was the victim of a hoax is as follows.
1) He's embarrased his relationship started online as a result he tells his parents he met her at Stanford game. He also tells reporters he saw her.
2) Now how the parents say he saw her in hawaii is hard to explain but maybe they are the opposite of helicopter parents.
Virtual Beard.
I've spent way too long reading everything about this and have changed my mind on what I think happened so many times.
Now I'm thinking that it actually was a prank that Manti was incredibly gullible to fall for. But I think he found out about it early and then took over the lie and kept it rolling.
Here's a pretty good summary:

But she didn't.
I can't video chat with you. You can't video chat with me.

Read the SI transcript.. this guy made up the entire thing himself. he's a colossal douchebag
Who are you talking about? Manti or the Ronaiah Tuiasosopo guy?
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is absolutely involved. There's no doubt about that. The question is whether or not Te'o was in on it from the start.
SI: How did you meet her?
TE'O: We met just, ummmm, just she knew my cousin. And kind of saw me there so. Just kind of regular.
Don't think the SI link has actually been posted yet

Best line from the whole thing..
SI: This is unbelievable.
Yep, literally.
Why is Te'o's story so unbelievable. I know someone who had a similar situation. He met someone online, talked with her on the phone, became involved, she always backed out of meeting in person, he lied to his family about the nature of the relationship, eventually it all blew up in his face.
Speaking as a catholic, we have some bad priests. That's true. But, we could also wonder how anyone who is a christian could have the nerve to poke fun at catholics.
I mean, all Protestants, Lutherans, Episcipalians are, is a copy of catholics. Afterall, what is the first christian religion ever?
My religion follows Jesus. Protestants follow a failed priest.
Your religions effed up attitudes towards women, gays, etc is a huge problem.
Because your dumb@ss church won't let priests marry and have sex and a weird culture of shame and guilt around any sort of sex (that fails to make a moral distinction between breaking celibacy with women and with children) disgusting proportions of them have turned into child raping pedophiles who create more pedophiles by abusing boys in training to become priests.
And then your whole institutional church tries to cover up the hundreds of thousands of victims. If I was Catholic I would have left the church a long time ago. Absolutely disgusting. And your pope was the guy supposed to be in charge of stopping this (when he wasn't busy being a nazi). You know why he looks so disgusting? Cuz every man has the face he deserves by age 50.
I'll take the priest any day.
Stanford band practicing for next years halftime tribute to an alum they really didn't know too well
Your story is strange enough. Then for Te'o's version you add in
The fake serious car crash
Fake leukemia
Team mates suspicions
Notre Dame's lame statement
Manti talking about her in serious detail in numerous interviews
Talks about the fake girlfriend's fake family
Teo deleted tweets about the fake sister
After the hoax is revealed to Notre Dame he still uses the fake dead girlfriend to promote himself for the heisman
Te'o's dad apparently spoke to her on the phone
He says she visited him in Hawaii. Um no she doesn't exist.
Pretty unbelievable.
Dead Spin is now reporting that Teo will forego the draft and begin training with Salazar.
You mother f*cker, you actually had me for a split second with the first half of that sentence!
I even got halfway through a "Sheeeeeeeit"
Notre Dame and its AD and coaches are up to their neck in this quicksand cover up. A total disaster for this supposed program on the rebound.
Can someone tell me what the Notre Dame "ideals" are supposed to be? I found that comment pretty funny...

Even then he's still lying to people and reporters.
I don't see how this guy didn't know though.
He claims he loved her so much and he was so in love with her......
but she gets into a severe car accident resulting in a coma and he never goes to see her at the hospital (not in season)
she then discovers she has cancer and he never goes to see her
she then has a bone marrow transplant and he never goes to see her
she then becomes ill after her transplant and he never goes to see her
she dies and he doesn't go to the funeral, gotta play instead
her funeral is in "carson city, CA"
he plays @ USC Nov. 24th, no game next week after, and he doesn't go to visit her grave in CA
lol, he's either the worlds worst boyfriend and didn't actually love this chick he's lying about, or he was complicit. It doesn't pass the smell test for me.

..............I hope you die from it.
I dont think being a priest makes you a gay pedophile, I think that gay pedophiles have found this to be the PERFECT hiding place.
1. perfect excuse for not marrying or dating.
2. no only are you not shunned for not dating women, you are put up on a pedestal as the ideal person, a person FAVORED by god.
3. a great way to try and bury your shame if you are a self hating homosexual.
4. it puts you in contact with young children. parents trust you, the kids trust you.
5. you are in a position of authority, a small child claiming you touched them or buggered them will find it MUCH more difficult to speak out against a pillar of the community. (Most child molesters are NOT the creepy guy in the van.)
