A couple years ago during Manti Te’o’s last season at Notre Dame, the sports world blew up when it was discovered that the NFL Draft and Heisman prospect had a fake girlfriend. What made the story particularly intriguing was Te’o captured the sympathy of the nation when revealing that his girlfriend had Leukemia and then that she passed away. Seriously Sports Illustrated, ESPN and others did major features on him and his “girlfriend” Lennay Kekua; so as you can imagine or remember, it was pretty big news what it was discovered that she didn’t really exist. Te’o claims he was the victim of a hoax and that someone tricked him online (where he met Lennay). In any event, Te’o was drafted to the San Diego Chargers and all was eventually forgotten. Well until it was revealed he has a real girlfriend this time. Unfortunately any girl in his life will bring up thoughts of the girl that didn’t exist.

NCAA:(Report) Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, Man Responsible For Manti Te’o Hoax Does Interview With Dr. Phil
The way this story with Manti Te’o is going, I am going to die long before this story ever does! It was recently announced that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man supposedly behind the hoax involving Te’o did an on camera interview with Dr.Phil of all people. I still believe Te’o was in on the whole thing as well, but that is for another day. According to reports, Dr. Phil and Tuiasosopo sat and watched the entire interview Manti did with Katie Couric together. Sources further say the interview was “very deep and emotional” At this point I can give a s**t about any of these dudes. The stories have changed so many times and there is still so many holes in the story Te’o has given. Maybe this final interview will put everything to rest. It will air sometime next week. So until then we will still have to hear about it. I sware in a few months from now, everyone is going to look back on this story and say “wait, why did we care”?
