Who the Hell is this guy, "Manti Te’o"? What did he do to get to the top of the news??

[Stuart G]

I honestly don't know...do you?????

Is he some sort of alien? New kind of Politician? Did he hit 150 home runs? Did he run the 3 minute mile?
Who the hell is he? Movie Star? thanks....

1. He's a colossal idiot. That's his claim to fame.

2. Notre Dame linebacker who was in love with an online 'girl' who doesn't exist.

[Pab Sungenis]

3. Half ass football player

who lied about doing it for his dead girlfriend, who never existed.

[Stuart G]

4. Sounds like a real jerk...will he get "Jerk of the Year" or,

will that honor go to some other jerk, or asshole...who will it be?

[Xipe Totec]

5. People keep bringing up his name...

[mokawanis]

6. Happy to say I don't know who he is

I mean, I've heard the name but I made an effort not to find out what the fuss was all about and I don't think I missed anything important.

7. He's a football player who made up a story about his dead internet girlfriend.

Who as it turns out never existed in the first place.

8. I have to say..this..

This picture, of Clint talking to an empty chair...says a whole lot about this football player ..thanks for putting this story into perspective.

9. He got to the top of the news because ...

... no Kardashian did anything this week.

[Myrina]

10. No shit, right?

And let's see how long it takes for him to go from victim to villain when it comes out that he totally knew what was going on.

Meanwhile, the REAL dead girl associated with the ND Football Team is STILL dead. And STILL being ignored.

12. I think he's the next Brian Bosworth

[kentauros]

13. And for that reference, I also have to say

Who?

[lastlib]

14. Univ. Oklahoma linebacker for 1985 nat'l championship team.....

barred from bowl game for steroid use, kicked off team for making ass of self at said bowl game, quit school, went pro w/ Seahawks. Played three seasons, continued being a loudmouth ass, flamed out after three seasons. Now living as a low-grade-action-movie actor, still an ass.

[kentauros]

15. Okay, thanks.

Makes me wonder if he was one of the Assholes in Spaceballs

[UTUSN]

16. The "news" didn't have anything to do?!1 Not like investigaging Shrub (oh, never mind) n/t
