    On espn radio, they just brought up that it's now possible that the girlfriend might have existed. It's just that it was an online relationship and they never actually met. Obviously, he's embarrassed about it.

    I'm thinking his friend had a serious gay crush on him.

    Notre Dame claims that Manti was duped. Hmm... Will be fun to see how this plays out.

    ESPN is running an old interview with him right now where he says "she's the most beautiful woman that i ever met". "love of my life" etc..

    of course he will try to say by "met" he meant met online or something.

    Yeah. I remember the interview with his dad and how he said she came to Hawaii to visit him several times...

    @sethmeyers21: These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.

    i will do a complete 180 on this if it turns out he is gay and this was some kind of mixed up way to keep it away from his family and the Mormon church. and that it just got out of control.

    i would have a lot of sympathy for him then.

    ^this

    In fact, they should look into the high likelihood that he or his organization is behind this story breaking right now.
