For the win.

This should do the trick. Can survive over 24 hours of gun fire.

Damn I wanted to post this, too.

Congratulations on being a brainwashed dipshit. TEH FREEDOMS.

Holy shit, Te'o. Chill.

He wasn't a victim. The story was that he and his fake girlfriend met in person after a game and hung out in Hawaii a few times. And he told everyone how beautiful she was. He's full of shit. And he was on the football team that had rapist motherfuckers on it.

Well...the report says she's some lady the guy running the fake Twitter account knew.

I couldn't help myself, I laughed. +1

Right. That's what they say now. Previously, they had met a few times and "she" was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Bullshit.

Once that happens, they'll just resort back to "Pff, Deadspin, bunch of amateurs, they're not real journalists. Now back to why you should think [insert athlete who beat his wife] is an awesome hero."

Yeeessss...feel the butthurt flow through you.

The thing where they supposedly met in person after a game is what shows that Te'o and ND are full of shit. If you only met online, how the hell did you meet each other after a game and then hang out in Hawaii? Don't shit in my hand and tell me it's gold.

It works, but it isn't smooth. In Trump's case he's the dipshit, in this case Te'o is the lying ass.

To be fair, a woman getting raped by one of your team's players isn't a big deal.

If it's as thorough as the investigation they did on the Lizzy Seeberg scandal, I doubt their investigation involved much effort.

Or, they just reported what they found and that goes against your opinion of Manti Te'o.

He knew the perpetrator. And he made up stories of meeting the fake woman and hanging with her. And her being beautiful. Holy wishful thinking, Batman.

I doubt it. If there's one thing American media is good at, it's sticking with a narrative. ESPN and SI (expect a King article on the evils of the internet soon) are gonna hammer the point home: "ignore the facts, Te'o was the victim, and so were we."

ESPN and SI repeating verbatim his side of the story. They don't give a shit, there won't be more fallout.

So despite Te'o meeting this imaginary girlfriend after a game, hanging out with "her," saying how beautiful "she" is, and being friends with the guy who ran the Twitter account, we are now told he is the victim of this hoax and he had no idea. The sad part is, ESPN and SI are playing right along and doing his PR for…
