says in statement that he never met her, stated in interview in october that she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen
So did he know or was he totally in the dark here? Ya, ND really has a higher standard for athlete intelligence.
Te'o issued a statement Tuesday afternoon: "This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. "To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. "It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. "I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. "In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. "Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft." http://espn.go.com/college-football...ry-manti-teo-girlfriend-death-apparently-hoax
If jokes been claimed please donate my likes to the humane society. The greatest trick Teo ever pulled was convincing the world his girlfriend did exist.
Even if that's true it's still pathetic that he was distraught over a girl he never met and let it turn into a heroic stort
The Solid Verbal @SolidVerbal RT @celebrityhottub: Alabama has placed Lennay Kekua on medical scholarship.
I fucking hate Gene Wojciechowski. I don't like how he has weaseled his way in to doing semi sappy stories relating to college football. Stay the fuck away from my Saturdays, ya bastard.
He's going to play the victim here. Before long he will be on tv crying and saying only God can judge him
he does realize that in this day and age everything he has ever said is documented and recorded, right?
darren rovell @darrenrovell Yikes RT @BobDorfman Te'o could be the 1st jock to land an endorsement deal with Adobe Photoshop.
@darrenrovell: Yikes RT @BobDorfman Te'o could be the 1st jock to land an endorsement deal with Adobe Photoshop. Fantastic
wow, gene wojciechowski is on espn talking about the interview he did with him the week his grandmother/"gf" died said they couldnt find an obituary or record of car accident asked to speak with "gf" family---te'o said the family would like their privacy; wojciechowski said he respected that then asked for a photo---te'o said family would rather not release a photo
Regardless of whether or not he was in on it, or the degree to which he was, if I'm te'o I don't see any way I could ever live where I know people have access to the internet
From a press conference on Jan 3 http://www.orangebowl.org/assets/1/7/jan3presserpt2.pdf Q. Manti, how have the football-related commotion and excitement of the past year helped you get through the turmoil you've faced with your grandmother and girlfriend? And how have the quiet periods been for you, given you more time to reflect? Is that a good thing or double edged? MANTI TE'O: I think whenever you're in football, it takes your mind off a lot of things. You know, this team is very special to me, and the guys on it have always been there for me, through the good times and the bad times. I rarely have a quiet time to myself because I always have somebody calling me, asking, do you want to go to the movies. Coach is always calling me asking me, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" I have three roommates, Zeke, Carlo and Robby Toma, who are always yelling at each other, who's going to play Call of Duty. I'm rarely by myself, and that's how I like it. I'm always around my guys, always around my family.
LOL Te'o is so full of shit....There are so many contradictions in his statements....Can't hide from the things you've already said and try to make it out like you're the victim.
I assume that Manti has suffered some form of mental breakdown and will now always think that it's Tuesday, January 15, 2013 his last good day in the sun
