Absolutely ridiculous.

Holy **** that's crazy! Imagine if he'd won the Heisman.

1. Holy crap.

2. Holy crap, part deux: Deadspin really is going to destroy sports journalism...with sports journalism!

But is it real??

George O Leary is no longer the biggest liar from Notre Dame

From McMurphy: Notre Dame Statement- "Notre Dame coaches informed Dec 26 by Manti Te'o & parents Manti had been victim of what appears to be a hoax"

This might be the biggest WTF moment in college football. Who makes that stuff up??? I bet his interviews with NFL teams for the draft will be quite interesting.

What...what?

What?

What a dork. I'm not a hotshot and don't claim to be... but I've never had a made-up Internet girlfriend.

And even if you did why kill her?

What is going on with the Irish?

He should have admitted it, but a mix of pride and shame that he was tricked got in the way. In addition, virtual relationships are still stigmas so I can see a star athlete struggling to admit to one (normal people have trouble admitting it).

He gave interviews and cried. She didn't exist. This guy could be as bad of a nut job as Vince Young....or worse

...or maybe he is a future Seau product

....pretty strange this one

And then she was in a CAR WRECK... and then she got LEUKEMIA... and then an evil pots-and-pans ROBOT showed up... and what's that? Oh no! A tyrannosaurus! Grrr!

Seriously... did he come up with the death part after he figured out it was a hoax, as a way to clean everything up? That's the impression I'm getting, and I know three-year-olds who could do better than that.

I remember listening to his story for the first time on the Jim Rome show and at the time thought it was one of the most moving stories I've heard in sports in sometime. Really disgusting, if all of this is a hoax.
