Hoaxster: I had romantic feelings for Manti Te’o

Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love. I asked him straight up, “Was this a romantic relationship with you?” And he says yes. I said, “Are you then therefore gay?” And he said, “When you put it that way, yes.” And then he caught himself and said, “I am confused.”

Oh no – this means that Te’o LIED to Katie Couric about this being a “GAY THING” – I am SHOCKED – SHOCKED I tell you!

To bad Manti didn’t claim his girlfriend’s name was Benghazi or Fast and Furious.

Wow. Major scoop. He actually liked Te’o?!?!?!?!! Speaking of sports, ever think Lance Armstrong will be redeemed in the eyes of the people? And now Vijay Singh too, and Ray Lewis, with this Deer Antler Spray!!! Huge news.

I knew this would be turned into a gay victim story eventually.

As opposed to simply a victim story I guess…If it were a chick responsible for this would it be a heterosexual victim story?

Son, you’re an idiot and a douchebag. How would you like a reality show?

RadClown on January 30, 2013 at 12:49 PM

This is a joke. Does anyone seriously think this was ever anything but a complete hoax by everyone involved, including Te’o?

Rocks on January 30, 2013 at 12:51 PM

But he’s not “gay”, gay.

It’s all good.
