Te'O statement:

Quote:
"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.

"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.

"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life.

"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been.

"In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.

"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."

Thanks for indulging me. Patjew prolly call me a tool again tho. tehee.

But gee whiz, when yer gonna make up a fictional girlfriend (and who of us hasn't done that at one time or another? At 3 years old, I concocted one named Jill Carcey. And not only that, I claimed she drove a Firebird and a Thunderbird.) Anyway, hey, if yer gonna pull a chick outta thin air like that, ya could at least give her a more believable name than freaking Lennay Kekua.

It's the ol' Doctor Prettorious angle.

Dude's a grade A bull****ter. He said they met in Palo Alto, and that he would travel to Hawaii to be with her. He obviously met her in person, and the picture used for Kekua's Twitter was of some other chick, so wouldn't he find it strange that she wasn't using her own pics? There's also interviews in which he describes her physically. Dude screwed up bad, he won't be able to backpedal out of this one.

Man, this is like watching The Usual Suspects, backpedaling at the end trying to figure out which parts were actually true.

The odds of Manti being the first professional athlete to come out of the closet just went through the roof.

Cant think of a more elaborate cover story than making up a girl, killing her off, and then have no one question your single life the rest of your career because your jilted lover died shockingly of a terrible disease.

something that crazy has to work!
