This is pretty ridiculous if true.

No way, only hoax is that stupid article.

Maybe she came back to life and that is why he was so dreadful in the championship game. Completely over matched.

[Danzig]

a fraud in the sports world?! impossible. that would never happen.

Wow terrible story

[Danzig]

you have to wonder why people would do such things. seems like there was a basketball player a few years back who was involved with a scheming female...nowitski maybe? he got full custody of the child that was involved.

[IrishofNDMan]

I'm having a hard time believing Manti was not in on this. This pisses me off, I guess we'll wait to see what he says.

[herkhorse]

she was a beautiful woman.

[Danzig]

i just read the whole dead spin story-it certainly makes one say 'hmmmm'. if teo wasn't in on it, he's got to be the most naive and gullible person on the face of the earth.
i hope it doesn't turn out that all this was done to help with 'heisman hype'. that would be low-down and dirty.

Lol. If she didn't exist this interview is priceless.

To say this whole thing stinks is a ridiculous understatement. We're supposed to believe that he was having phone/cyber sex with some chick who was allegedly dying and was a devout Christian? Then she dies and he won't grant Gene Wojciechowski from ESPN any access to photos or information about her?

He's either one of the dumbest people around or a really elaborate liar.

[IrishofNDMan]

This is stupid. I am pissed as hell right now and can't believe he would do this **** and Notre Dame wouldn't know more about it. Disgraceful **** right here.

[dagolfer33]

This belongs in the "recent memory hall of fame", right next to the Lendale White leap off the building and Cam Newtons college career. Oh, and the Maurice Clarett real life dukes of hazard episode.

Manti was a victim of extortion. ND athletic director said an investigation was launched when Manti notified them and the perpetrators were caught.

[herkhorse]

That squirrel of an AD was highly amusing. This is like the gift that keeps giving.

How was it extortion? It seems to be a cruel joke that is commonly played now by people online. There is a new show on MTV called "Catfish" which is exactly on this topic, people talking to people online who end up not being who they are.

I'm sure alot more will come out on this in coming days

His story is fishy in light of his father previously mentioning he met the girl after the Stanford game and she visited him on the island a few times.

the thing that jumps out at me-they had her funeral the day of the game. this guy was supposedly madly in love with her, his dad said she might have been their daughter in law, but they don't arrange the funeral so he could be there?
the bs meter is nearing the red line right now.
