Manti Te’o’s story was the most compelling of the college football season.
The All-America linebacker and star of a Notre Dame team enjoying a Cinderella season was playing inspired football on the field and dealing with great mental anguish off it. Two of the most important women in his life, his grandmother and his girlfriend, were gravely ill.

Imaginary girl friend? ND has been coed since 1973 and the campus is next to the all girl's school of Saint Mary's College - the more we learn, the worse this looks. Hope he is better at reading the play action pass ....
As Shakespeare said, "Someting is rotten in the state of Denmark." Can anyone be that gullible? This smacks of a an elaborate ploy to generate publicity.

We might not frequently agree about politics, but I'm completely on board with you for this one.

Pinocchio Te'o.. Keep looking at his nose. It's a convoluted tale that is still being added to by Manti Te'o. Witness the emotional press conference by ND Director of Athletics, Jack Swararbrick, talking about "Catfish." What does he know about that? Sounds like he's being brought into that famous Sir Walter Scott's quote, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive." Marion, 1808.
