After reading the timeline on Deadspin, I have a hard time believing he didn't have some involvement.

Samoans, at least he ones I have encountered/worked with are very morally right. They tend to keep to themselves and family is first and foremost. I have/want to believe he was duped. He seemed to not want the spotlight but the spotlight was cast upon him. Best of luck to him.

I read the whole article yesterday. So he's either a big fat liar, or an extremely gullible guy who never physically met this girl, but she was "the love of his life." Not going to turn out very well for him either way.

Oh and a few of the best jokes I've read so far:
Stephen Douglas @CRM_Stephen

"Manti Te'o wasn't missing tackles in the National Championship, he was hugging his girlfriend."

Seth Meyers (SNL) @sethmeyers21

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

From the sounds of it, he may be very gullible.

Couple guys on the radio were saying he'd be better off if he says he lied about it, regardless if he did or not.

If he indeed did not know, I would advise him to stick with the truth. Better to be known as gullible than a huge liar. Hopefully he's watching the Lance Armstrong debacle unfold, and sees that eventually the truth catches up with a story.

They meant more for his process with the NFL coaches and scouts at the Combine. They will rip him apart. If he believed he was duped and is that gullible he may look to be weak minded and not mentally tough enough for the NFL.

If he lied and made it up at least he just looks like a **** head who took advantage of people.

Hell they flat out asked Dez Bryant about his mom being a hooker.

Either way the locker room will eat him alive.

Best case scenario is that this kid is dumb as a box of hammers.

That's the biggest moment for me. An online relationship and you are crying out (literally) that she was the love of your life? At 16, ok, but 21/22/23 (no clue how old he is) really?

I have a 24 hour rule with anything the media 'breaks', but this one might have to get extended to 24 days for somebody to get caught in a lie.

Now I am totally confused.
