Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.  -Mal

The Lennay Kay account is a fake account. It was created yesterday.

So many questions need to be answered. In my mind I am still not sure if Manti is at the root of this or if he fell for an online scam and then lied because he was too embarrassed to admit it and then the lies got out of hand. I am leaning toward the latter.
And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

The "dumb jock" stereotype exists for a reason

Lennay Kekua told Manti Te'o she faked her death to evade drug dealers

  This has got to be the dumbest story I have ever read. Who calls someone his girlfriend for years when he
has never met her?  Mentally this kid has a screw loose.

Seeing as drafting a player is a multi-million dollar investment , just how far down will Manti fall ?

Honesty I don't think he will fall out of the first round. Nothing he did would/should have any negative effect on any team that drafts him. Will fans make fun of him? Sure, but if he produces on the field they will eventually file it away. Manti will have to live with the questions forever, but being a gifted athlete has it's privileges and one of them is people overlooking your failings, up to a point.

QuoteRonaiah Tuiasosopo fell in love with Manti Te'o and said all his energy went into pretending to be the woman the Notre Dame linebacker came to know as Lennay Kekua.
