Deadspin: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend story was a hoax

Again, who is "we?" Who are "most of the same people?" Is John Kerry really into Notre Dame football in a way I'm unaware of?

I think it's clear that I like you, but take this weak shit somewhere else, please.

 

We've heard from Te'o and Maui'a. The dead fake girlfriend's Twitter account also follows Rey Maualuga and Polamalu and that's it. I wonder if they've met the person behind all this too.

 

That is so wrong. And hilarious.

 

What in the fuck is going on?

 

Seriously. That's crazy.

 

Look, if I root for anyone in college football, it's ND. But, I'm already obsessed with this story. It's going to be great fun. The "Catfish" aspect of it. The stupidity of Te'o. The motivations of the folks who led him on. The sportswriters who bought the whole story; hook, line, and sinker.

But, let's be honest. People bring their own biases to every story. So, some people are thrilled by this story because it will/may tarnish ND. They would love for a story like this involving Tebow.

And, many of those same people will forgive Bill Clinton.

So, when some of these people are spouting off with their conspiracy theories -- declaring Te'o gay, or predicting the AD's downfall -- I think it's only fair to point out that personal bias may be playing a role in their wishful thinking.

 

Hacked or one of the perpetrators is really dumb.

 

I'm certainly not thrilled with this story, but Te'o has a lot to answer for. He is held up as one of the great things about college football and we hear all season about his inspirational story, and part of it is bullshit? Yes, he needs to answer for that. Not to me, but to those who looked up to him and his future employers. If he's not a liar, he needs to prove it.

And dragging Clinton into this is bullshit. He was nearly impeached, and most people were at the very least disappointed that he cheated on his wife. But that was a long time ago, and he has done some good work since leaving office. Honestly, I haven't even given much thought to Clinton unless he appears at the DNC or something similar.

 

Seriously, WHO'S personal bias? Christ. Are there NO Republicans writing/tweeting about this story?

You're treading into OOP/93Devil territory here, where instead of making every story about the Steelers, it's about Bill Clinton.

 

Most likely hacked. But pretty creepy nonetheless.

 

You know how to hurt a guy.

 

Is that the sort of tweet a hacker would post though?
