Obviously it's biased and starts off with the implication/claim that Te'o was totally innocent. Putting that aside, I thought it was a brilliantly written attempt at making the deadspin writers the evil-doers (not that I disagree with the arguments, mind you.) Then I made it to the part quoted below and lol'd at the true hypocrisy of it due to the bolded section.

Nice work bashing someone for putting their spin on the uproven points of a case through the convenient use of spin on the uproven points of a case.

I love it. Accuse Deadspin of being biased in an even more biased article. I think part of the reason I am enjoying this so much is the way Te'o supporters are handling this whole situation.

Has this been shared? Sorry if it has...

Manti Te'o briefly lied to the media and the public after discovering his online girlfriend did not exist and was a part of an elaborate hoax, he admitted in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Katie Couric.

The star Notre Dame linebacker, who has been hounded by the reporters since the story broke Jan. 16, told Couric in a taped interview Tuesday that he was not lying up until December. Te'o said he was duped into believing his online girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, died of cancer.

"You stuck to the script. And you knew that something was amiss, Manti," Couric said.

Te'o found out that Kekua was a hoax on Dec. 6, but on Dec. 8 he again publicly mentioned his girlfriend. The remark came as Te'o was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, the award for the best college football player in the country. Te'o was eventually a runner-up for the trophy.

"Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on Sept. 12. Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12," Te'o said.

"Now I get a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she's alive and then I'm going be put on national TV two days later. And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?" Te'o said.

sounds like someone is trying to use south park to save himself

" This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12," Te'o said.

Come on Manti. No one thinks you believed you were in a serious LTR with a chick you'd never even met IRL.

Just admit it was all a hoax perpetrated by you and your boys to win the Heisman.

I just can't get over "you talk to this person 10 times a day" and "you tell everybody that this person is the love of your life and you've committed to them" and "you don't think of visiting this person when they're supposedly in the hospital."

There's something about that which just sits very wrong for me.

I beleive that "something" is called "the bull**** factor" in most industrialized countries.

See, what's funny about that is that he just lied to Katie Couric. On Dec. 8, they didn't ask him about his fake GF; they asked him about some charity he was involved in and he went right into "BAWWWW MY GIRLFRIEND DIED OF CANCER" all on his own.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...phone-records/

Manti went and released fake cell phone records. Rather, he released a spreadsheet that he claims contains the information from his cell phone records without releasing the records to prove it.

"Hey guys! Look at this list of phone calls I made that totally proves I have a girlfriend named Jenny!"

The top comment:

I’ve got spreadsheets proving I had 1000+ phone calls with Kate Upton in the last year, in case anyone doesn’t believe me.

Hhahaha.

[pierce2walker]

Didn't Teo' tell Shaap that he didn't really know about the hoax until 2 days before the NC? Now he's telling Couric that he knew in early December? Am I missing something? Just trying to clear this up, I easily could be wrong.

[SuperPacker]

He said he didn't know for definite until two days before or something like that.

[pierce2walker]

This Rudy Cool profile is incredible.

edit: Nooooooo the Rudy Cool profile is gone.

[brat316]

are you guys still talking about this.

Rudy cool.

[Prowler]

RIP Rudy Cool...Manti, half of Notre Dame, and all of Hawaii and Samoa believed your profile was real.

You can't prove that it wasn't really Rudy Cool. I have this spreadsheet...

[JoeJoeBrown]

This kid is really dumb. So dumb that I kinda feel bad for him.

Rudy cool, or just faking out stuff for fame, or whatever his reason are for lying in public about a billion different times, he is just terrible at it. He's almost functionally ********.

I never want to hear about ND athlete's academic achievements again. Any time some ND doofus goes off on that, I will just bring up that Manti Te'o was passing classes at ND. Unpossible.

This story is ridiculous. They are criticizing Deadspin for a lack of investigative journalism? What about these very writers along with all of the other Notre Dame journalists who never thought to try and find an obituary, funeral announcement, death certificate, records of her at Stanford, or try to interview her "family." The lack of investigating by Notre Dame journalists is startling.

Anyone try to call this number? It's a Chicago number which is weird since Lennay Kekua and Tuiasosopo are from California.

Oh JR. Re-read Monomach's post and, if necessary, say that phone number out loud.

[DcmRulz]

Welp, reports coming out saying the "dead gf" that was calling was indeed Roniah Tuiasosopo.

Should have made the date 81/82 on the calls. Clarify....

Lol... Manti.... poor guy.

If this is true he must have never spoken to a woman before or is truly rudy cool.

[P-L]

I love how someone from a Rivals.com site is attacking Deadspin for using "unnamed sources." Do the Rivals websites not give information from "unnamed sources" to their paying subscribers? If sharing information from unnamed sources is so wrong, then why are they charging $9.95 a month to do the same damn thing?

[WCH]

I want to hear Ronaiah Tuiasosopo pretending to be a woman.
