T'eo's GF is a hoax
« on: January 16, 2013, 10:01:18 PM »
This has to be one of the craziest sports related stories I have seen in a while

Quote
Manti Te'o did lose his grandmother this past fall. Annette Santiago died on Sept. 11, 2012, at the age of 72, according to Social Security Administration records in Nexis. But there is no SSA record there of the death of Lennay Marie Kekua, that day or any other. Her passing, recounted so many times in the national media, produces no obituary or funeral announcement in Nexis, and no mention in the Stanford student newspaper.

Nor is there any report of a severe auto accident involving a Lennay Kekua. Background checks turn up nothing. The Stanford registrar's office has no record that a Lennay Kekua ever enrolled. There is no record of her birth in the news. Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed.

The photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua. She is not a Stanford graduate; she has not been in a severe car accident; and she does not have leukemia. And she has never met Manti Te'o

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism. -Kenny Powers

Yeah, I don't get the whole thing.  It's like he's a homo and they're trying to cover it up.

Maybe he watched too many reruns of the movie Harvey with Jimmy Stewart...

Sounds like he was part of the hoax.

He lied to everyone about meeting her and he lied multiple times after he "found out" she wasnt real and he blamed his poor performance in the NC on the hoax. There is no reason to believe this guy was duped, I feel sorry for whoever's favorite team spends a 1st rounder on this guy. Now that I said that it will probably be the cowboys
