How weird and a little sad.

His coach in another article sympathized with him saying that he was so open before and he thinks this might make him cynical and suspicios.
Maybe that's a good thing. Which would you rather have make you cynical and suspicious?

A: An online gf that turns out to be a 'fake' in January
B: An agent that steals your money in June.

And what about Troy Palamau of the Steelers supposedly knowing her? Bizarre.

It's a strange story.

When he found out, I think he was embarrassed and didn't know how to handle it.

I have seen a lot of men / women fake their deaths in order to end an online relationship.

It's rather sad.
An extreme catfish case.

I've heard the guy is Mormon and really, extremely naive. Apparently it was two men and a girl behind the hoax and they scammed him all along. When it came time to meet, they had to make up something, so of course car wreck and leukemia.

How many times do we run into this on the forums here? Someone's Master died of cancer, the slave passed away from a car wreck, etc....only to show up under another name a week later? LOL

The dude isn't the brightest bulb. Can you imagine the ribbing he's getting in the locker room? You gotta admit it's funny though, mostly I think because we all know that this is a common scam around here.

ETA: I had also read that his family went into interviews telling the world that he had met the girlfriend more than once. So when the press asked Manti about his family saying this his response was that he lied to his parents because he was embarrassed to tell them that he had fallen in love with a girl he had never met.

Huffington Post is wondering if he's gay, and if it was all a way to try to hide it.

When I heard the story I laughed because the first thing that came to my mind is the male subs who come here with their similar stories lol.

Status: offline 		Bill Simmons, AKA the Sports Guy, wrote a mailbag column about the Manti Te'o story here http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8856794/the-all-teo-mailbag

I'm inclined to believe that Te'o was initially fooled, and then felt too embarrassed to own up to being fooled initially. So he kept on telling the lie. I don't want to be so cynical as to think that he deliberately set out to conduct this hoax on the general public, but I don't know how somebody could be so naive for so long.

On the other hand, to borrow an idea from the Simmons column: perhaps it was Belichick trying to manipulate the NFL Draft and ensure that Te'o falls all the way to the Patriots.
