I would like to thank Te'o for this up since the avalanche of comedy has made my day.
I think the gay theory makes a ton of sense. Not sure why it dying helps. Definitely get the ruse while it was an ongoing gay coverup.
tfloss - this is one of the best things to ever happen to the internet
I agree JMark. Him being gay makes a ton of sense.
The Clint Eastwood one had me![]()
I was about to post this.
Some twitter account from a LennayKay is talking about addressing truths and myths tomorrow. Very weird. Maybe Te'o is the antichrist? Creepy!
Another weird part of the story:
Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, said he believes Kekua existed because he met her in person when he and other Polynesian teammates and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu went to do charity work in American Samoa in June 2011.
"This was before her and Manti," Mauia said Wednesday evening. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was -- I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa."
Mauia said Tuiasosopo -- whom Mauia believes is Kekua's cousin -- introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an "after-party" for all of the athletes involved in the camp.
"She was tall," he said. "Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model ... "
When reached by ESPN.com on Wednesday night, former University of Washington and NFL quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo acknowledged that he is a cousin of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo but said he never had met or heard of Kekua.
Mauia said it is his understanding that Kekua's mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he'd never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said: "No, she is real."

This whole thing is odd. She was she real and died? She was a ruse? She wasn't a lie?
link it!
Countless people have searched the Stanford Alumni database and can't find kekua. I think if nothing else, it's pretty clear that she wasn't real.
My god this doesn't stop being funny.
I tried. It showed up as HTML garble. I'll try again.
from that twitter account: people joking about it a month ago

An hour ago:
It isn't fair to drag Reagan and Troy into this.. a lot of truths and myths need to be addressed here, and they will be at noon PST tomorrow; L K (@LennayKay)

Oprah is probably fuming that her interview airing tomorrow will take a total backseat to all of this. Serves her narcissistic ass right for waiting to air the interview in order to milk it.
Yep. This is story of the year. So weird.
I honestly believe Te'o is just a gullible idiot, but wasn't behind it.
He'd have to be one one a gullible, heartless bas to believe this person he never met but talked to all the time was his girlfriend but never once went to visit this woman in the many hospital stays.
The fact Te'o was mormon is the thing that might corroborate his story. If his story is true he would have to be incredibly naive, sheltered, and lacking in street smarts. The only way that would happen is religious indoctrination.
Still, he was Mormon, not Amish![]()
It's one of the weirdest stories I've ever heard, regardless.
David Fincher would make a of a movie out of it.l
