5 minutes of googling tells you that he has given interviews saying he met her or at least saying things that could not be known/true without having met her.
ND and ESPN just failing so hard right now. Ripping pages right out of the Penn State playbook. Everyone with a pulse knows the dude and the university are straight up lying.
Just going to file this in the "out of sight, out of mind" drawer, until there is further clarification.

This should be resolved rather quickly I would think. The end of this is going to be very awkward for someone. I'm hoping it's the Deadspin author.

Just a perfect example when your on top there are always people trying to bring you down even if it costs losing character and credibility like this A hole.

Omg!!! What the heck???!!!! Can anyone even think of something worse that can happen?? Maybe God isn't Catholic., I'm starting to literally get angry!! My question is how would Manti think this wouldn't get discovered?? If this is true I will once again believe that ND is the toughest team in the country to be a fan of!!!
Hitler reference!

Not saying he did...BUT, IF manti knew all about this and used it for publicity then he deserves the same fate Hitler got on the movie Little Nicky.

did none of you learn anything from the last week. He without sin please cast the first stone. We do not know the whole story and we might never. It could be ND agreed to investigate the story but not expose it when Teo's family came forward. The real fact is I do not KNOW what happened and NONE of us do. Yes this is a bad situation and all but if the school was not involved in the actual hoax then ND has had far worse things happen. This is a university of men and though it maybe Catholic it is not perfect and in fact is far from perfect.

The last time I saw a major news media outlet fail this hard was Fox News on election night. But ESPN is just sad because there's no megyn kelly and no karl rove comedy
Holy **** they are really stupid enough to have a press conference?
Dear god this is going to be a complete trainwreck. Rule #1, don't get locked into a story.
don't know if it's rule #1 or not, but also a good rule is to get out in front of the story. so like how they've supposedly known about this for weeks now, but still seem totally unprepared somehow. great for the lulz tho.
@ChiTribHamilton: Have now heard of two people, who weren't Manti Te'o, that had phone conversations with "Lennay Kekua." Was a voice on the phone, anyway.
Man... I feel like such a fool. All this time I was making fun of Manti Te'o for being an overrated prospect whose numbers masked poor instincts, lack of speed, and a tendency to get caught in the wrong place on a play, and this story was just there waiting to be uncovered.

you get out ahead of it if you're coming clean (which they should have done ldo)
if you are still lying (which they clearly are), talking is not good
Had a roommate in college who was excited about 2 girls he "dated" over the internet. They chatted all the time in an AOL chat room (it was 1998-99ish). Until I found the photos he kept showing off on a porn site.
He also "dated" a stripper who "died in a plane crash."
Social awkwardness can make people do weird things I guess.
