Title: Notre Dame Hoax
Post by: BlueBee on January 17, 2013, 03:23:06 am

What do ya’ll make of this Manti Teo fake girlfriend story?  This has got to be the most bizarre sports story I have heard in a long time.  Maybe the most bizarre ever. 

Turns out his girlfriend who supposedly died of cancer prior to the Michigan game never even existed!

It is not worth my time to consider it. It is his life, not mine. Let him be.

Blue,
I agree....CRAZY STRANGE!

It's not going to consume my day, but for anyone with 5 minutes to spare, kind of bizarre and interesting!

I find it hard, near impossible to believe he wasn't aware of it.

Now now Blue, we can't go replaying the Notre Dame - Michigan game just for that.  However it does give the term "Fantasy Football" a new meaning.
