LOL. That's why I compared Te'o to Casey Anthony.
Dude sounds like a pathological liar and does it with ease. The more complicated and implausible, the better.
When I was reading BloodBrother's post, I also thought about Casey Anthony. The Pathological liar/sociopath thing just keeps crossing my mind. When this story broke, I thought "hey, maybe the Packers can draft him lower than he'd normally go." Now I'm thinking, "hey, maybe he's a ******* lunatic and nobody will draft him at all."

Well it's not hard to detach yourself and compartmentalize when you're a sociopath. Talking only about Kobe and no one else, of course.
I don't think he's a sociopath. He just wanted that heisman real bad. At first I thought it was a story to use to keep himself in the closet. Now that his teammates are saying he was with chicks on campus it's obvious he and his family and Friends made up this story to win the heisman.
Does saying your girlfriend died help your Heisman chances?
It can. ****, I was rocking a Manti sig this last season. Part of it was I was impressed with how he handled the death of his grandma and GF back2back. Thought it was real admirable at the time.
So I haven't figured out if he is either a) super lame, b) a pathological liar, or c) a homosexual. Or maybe he's all of the above. This is just pretty pathetic. Hearing his teammates talk about it lets you know where this story is headed...

To those saying he had to be in on it because the perpetrator was a friend of his, I just gotta say this: Who else is gonna punk you this bad? Your friends, the same guys who wait until you pass out and then draw penises on your face, take pictures, and post them to Facebook.
It's entirely possible he made up the stories of meeting her because he was embarrassed to have an internet-only girlfriend. Personally I hope it was just him covering up homosexuality; him being Mormon and going into the NFL, I can understand why he would want a cover story.
Te'o wasn't even on the Heisman radar in September when she died. I don't think he would've done it to help win the Heisman.. Defensive players never even win it anyways.
If he was in on it, it was either for popularity for whatever reason, or to cover up that he's *** or bi or something.

That'd be a whole lot more plausible if his own parents didn't appear to be telling lies about meeting her, too. There are just too many people involved that are very close to Manti for it to be a "sick joke" played on him.
My prediction: ND will throw him under the bus big time after the truth comes out, claiming they believed him despite it seeming apparent that his own teammates even knew it was all BS.

I'm with Brody in thinking that, if he is ***, he should just come out. We all know that there are *** players in the NFL, and there are *** executives as well. 99% of us don't care.
Being the first openly *** player probably wouldn't be worse for his career than being viewed as stupid or mentally ill. I'm thinking a lot of teams are already taking him off the board.

I highly doubt this will have a major draft stock effect. Do they have concerns and questions? I'm sure, but Mike Freeman from CBS:
"NFL scout on Manti Catfish: "Won't hurt draft stock. We draft guys that rob banks." So, there's that."
