Tragic Duping of Manti Te'o...or Was It?

What kind of person would convince someone to fall in love with them, not because they loved them back, not for attention, not even to scam them for money or some other desire, but instead to then convince them that they died from leukemia?? This is the unimaginable story of what Manti Te'o claims happened to him with internet girlfriend, Lennay Kekua. Whether or not this story is even true is debatable. Let's take a closer look at the evidence, shall we?

Exhibit #1: Manti Te'o is a successful college football player, attractive, adored by many visible, local women.

Exhibit #2: Manti Te'o never met Lennay Kekua in person, even though the relationship had been going on for a year and was considered serious.

Exhibit #3: Manti Te'o allegedly had numerous other (well-known) relations with females at Notre Dame while supposedly enthralled by this online diva.

Exhibit #4: The publicity gained by the double tragedy of Manti Te'o's grandmother and girlfriend dying on the same day made Notre Dame and Te'o household names, even for non-sports fanatics.

Exhibit #5: According to Deadspin.com, fellow teammates react to the news stating they believe Te'o is a "very good" actor and would create such a story to fuel his Heisman campaign.

With the evidence laid out on the table...what do you think really happened? 

Looking forward to your comments...
