Manti Te'o - Scumbag or Homo?

Post by stupidregister »

Is anyone up on this story yet? It's on deadspin right now and blowing up. It's too convoluted and too long to get into on here but basically he made up a girlfriend, had her off'ed via car accident while also having leukemia, played games in her honor, SI and CNN and the like ran with the story, got tons of shine, turns out girl isn't real and maybe have been a coverup for him being gay versus being a giant pathologic attention whore?

Poll?

I think this shit is great. Deadspin is consistently the best source for indepth sports reporting.

BOTH!

Somebody has to be soooooooooooo sick in the head to make up something like this. He's a religious freak too. Hope he loses millions and falls in the draft.

Cant embed Twidders. I screen shot em and then upload on tinypic. It takes 30 seconds. Regardless, all the jokes have been tweeted in the course of the past few hours. All of em.

What a weirdo. He's still trying to front like he's the victim of some elaborate hoax, but the deadspin timeline shoots holes in that shit fast. I mean he's been claiming to have have hung out with her in Hawaii and talk to her on the phone for hours on end. hahahaha...dude is a piece of shit. Weren't they raising money for her fam at some point this year? I could've sworn I read about that back in OCT.


The media is a vindictive bunch. They're going to be shitting on this kid for the rest of his life every chance they get for duping them.

These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.

Yeah, fuck him and his dad.

Just last week his dad released a statement that him and his son was blacklisting the local newspaper over here because they printed a picture of Manti missing a tackle in the NC game on the front page.

@CRM_Stephen: Manti Te'o wasn't missing tackles in the National Championship, he was hugging his girlfriend.

I'm leaning towards him being a scumbag. We already know he's an attention whore but if you were gay, why go through all this as a way to hide that? Like how does killing off your beard help your cause? Pretending you have a girlfriend then killing her off sounds like the worst cover ever. Did she at least have an insurance policy to collect? THAT would make sense. It seems much more likely to make up a sob story that keeps you in the headlines and improves your stock.

Manti Gay-o amirite?

I feel bad for the guy, this could really ruin his life.
It's not just him though, other people need to be held accountable too.

Death penalty for the football team and Bob Fitzgerald, public flogging of former coach Elmer Fudd, and burn all copies of Rudy.
Ban Hayzoos, OBJ, and Ramen too. (sorry, Shoots)
