Take off the fanboy goggles for a second and think about how you would react if this were another player on another team.

You don't think it's a little odd he had a girlfriend for YEARS that he never met? They never spoke via Skype, webcam, etc. Nothing?

Agreed. How does one in the limelight think that they could pull off such a ruse with the sharks in the media looking for a juicy story?

so many stories coming out.

he never met her. he met her once. she went to hawaii...no, wait. she didn't go there. and the story i just linked-perhaps he realized it was a hoax, but continued to use it for sympathy points? or he knew all along.

this story is an onion. has many layers, and it stinks.

And I am drooling waiting for The Onion to spoof it.

The worst part for me is that ND knew before the game but still kept the BS going.

Gotta admit that I couldn't care less about the whole scenario. But I don't blame ND for not exposing this BEFORE the championship game.

i don't either. and i'm sure they're not thrilled it came out now. it's an interesting story, but by no means an important one.

Why would manti fake a relationship for 3 years? Was he planning all along to kill her off for publicity in the end?
