Manti Te’o’s Dead Girlfriend is a Hoax *Merge*

From some of my Packer friends.

Did I just hear correctly?

The voice that Te'O talked to on the phone was a guy?

I heard that this morning as well. That's pretty sad.

No he confirmed he is an idiot. No wonder he lied.

If I am an NFL owner I don’t want this guy on my team.

Seriously. I don’t want a guy with a brain that works (well doesn’t work) like this.

I don’t want the negative and embarrassing attention that will come with him.

And obviously you saw what he plays like against good competition. I would not draft him, … no way.

Someone else can have him, I will take the next LB.

You would be surprised at just how powerful auto-tune is. Ke$ha actually sounds like James Earl Jones when she talks.

You can listen to voice mails that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo recorded as the voice of Lennay. They are on Deadspin or you can Google search for them.

And they are comical.

He told Katie that he is "double plus ungay"

OK, .. that's gay

He must be loving this attention!

Well apparently he says he didn't talk to her but the phone records show he did.

Unless Tuiasosopo has a girly voice, Teo has to be the dumbest guy on the planet. Then maybe he likes lady boys.

Listen for yourself and make the determination if Tuiasosopo sounds like a girl.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I probably will, but what do you think?

I think it sounds like a girl. There is speculation Tuiasosopo was using some voice changing software or device during the calls. Maybe there is a girl that was involved, but they are hiding it. Maybe he is just really good at making his voice sound like girl. Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence can do it. I don't think it is an attractive sounding voice. It is a bit rough.

If that is a true voicemail and not one made up by Te'o, the voice does sound female but I just don't believe a word that comes out of his piehole now. Knowing him, he probably got a chick to call and leave the message.

[BraveHeartFan]

I don't care either way.

What does any of this have to do with rather he can tackle or play linebacker?

Is he a moron? Sure. Is this one of the dumbest things ever? Absolutely.

It has zero bearing on what he can and can't do on a football field. We're not talking about a guy who is doing drugs, killing people, raping people, or whatever.

We're talking about a moron who either got completely duped or got in on an act to try and gain Heisman momentum. Either of those still has no bearing on rather he can or can't play the position of LB in the NFL.
