While not saying that Manti Te'o participated in or knew about the hoax that his girlfriend did not exist, a former teammate told ESPN's Bob Holtzman on Wednesday that players knew the woman wasn't really his girlfriend even though Te'o played that up as his tragic story was being told.

In September, the grandmother of Te'o died, and it was widely reported that his girlfriend died hours later. Media outlets pounced on the story as Notre Dame began its march to the le game. After Deadspin.com broke the hoax story, however, multiple media reports have said players thought that Te'o had only met Lennay Kekua once and that it wasn't really accurate to call her his girlfriend. But as condolences poured in, Te'o "played along," according to the teammate, who wished to remain anonymous.

The teammate portrayed the move as part of the All-American's personality, telling ESPN that Te'o liked attention so much that he would sometimes point himself out to friends when he was on television.

ESPN bringin' em out to say Te'o is an innocent victim. All place blame on the heartless Tuiasosopo for masterminding the ruse over many years, with many victims.

Basically, everyone is essentially saying Manti is one of the most gullible asshats on earth, who let himself get emotionally invested in a literal stranger, then played up the loss for his own gain.

anyone who believes Teo's version of the story needs to be thrown in prison for being so Freakin Stupid.

It's either that or go with the real story, that Manti made it all up on his own to curry favor and sympathy with the fans/media/etc.

It's all too convenient that this happened before, to so many others, and that the mastermind is unavailable. Catholic pockets run deep. But it's not like the Catholic Church would be a part of a coverup.

So now he hada real girlfriend??? Or are they both helpin each othr cover up their sexuality!
