Exposed in the National Championship against a top notch offensive line and grade A running backs. Now we have a character issue (I guess you'd call it that or just being a stupid icehole). Say hello to Day 2 at the draft Manti.

Bombshell shtein

This is quite the head scratcher.

He is so farging in on this scam. What an imbecile! I can't wait for the afternoon sports call in show today. Public here is already pissed at his old man for his tantrum about the local paper and the picture they ran. They're going to have a field day with this.

I cannot get enough of this. Before I get on with the discussion...has anyone checked on Easy? He loved him some Manti!

I thought Teo was a solid college player and did not want any part of him as a top pick. He was exposed in the Champ game and that made me not even want him in the 5th round.

However this is explosive. The lengths in which he went to perpetuate this is mind-boggling. I listened to some of the ND PC on the way home and Swarbrick made me want to puke.

He says Teo was/is a victim in this. Really dude? Then he cries and says Manti will never be able to trust again?!?!

Bwahahah...great job by Deadspin on this.

QuoteMan, over-react much guys??

Nobodies business that Manti was supposedly hoodwinked on a social
networking site. If Brent Musberger wants to blab a story about the girlfriend
Why should ND or anyone try to stop it?

The media perpetuated this myth because THEY thought it was a good story.
Nobody (I hope) handed them the story and told them to run with it.

Hopefully Manti wasn't in on this charade. Other than that, it's just a FREAKIN FACEBOOK HOAX!!
Let it go. It was his personal life and the media got wind of it and it snowballed.

ND message boards are a gas

This gets better by the hour. This has Lifetime movie of the week written all over it.

So where the farg is she?

J, he may be available in the fifth round. He needs to give Colt Brennen a call whom just happens to be coaching (more like helping) at Teo's neighborhood high school awaiting charges
on DUI and cocaine possession. They can discuss sinking like the Titanic on draft day.

Man this is nuts! I was just readin some tweets by the big lead and awful announcing that show people talking about her being fake in the beginning of December.

So did he really get duped? Is he that stupid? Or he kept it going because he was in too deep? Did he not realize the sensationalist nature of the media and how they'd latch onto this especially once he was in the pros?

Imagine he won the Heisman! Does his speech include "her"? The fallout would be even greater.

What's up with his pops saying how he texted her? And why the hell didn't any reporters dig this out sooner? Espn apparently had this ten days ago but sat on it. Wojo did a college game day piece and MT told him no pics or family contact info because they requested privacy. He finds no obit or records and doesn't pursue it.

MDS · January 17, 2013, 02:13:03 AM

maybe he was embarrassed since she was an "internet girlfriend" and didnt want it out that he was just tweeting and phone sexing her. or maybe hes in on it. ok he is.

really what i want to do is get a time machine and go 1 year ahead. then read this story. theres so much that is still to be discovered...this is really weird.

ice grillin you · January 17, 2013, 08:14:39 AM

i think its way worse for him if he got duped than if he made the whole thing up

a liar has much more of a chance in the nfl than a weakling

Rome · January 17, 2013, 08:25:51 AM

It's the equivalent of a "he smoked pot" revelation.

Who cares.

everyone but nd fans
