Based on the National Championship game, I'm currently operating on the assumption that Manti Te'o never existed either

What if Manti Te'o didn't really exist this whole time?

WHOA. I am no longer the most famous Mormon to invent an always-suspiciously-absent "girlfriend" in college. http://deadsp.in/fZ5POJa

The scouting report on Manti Te'o- Strengths: leadership. Weaknesses: No-showed a national title game, lied about fake/dead girlfriend.

If this Manti Te'o story doesn't break Twitter, then Twitter can't be broken. Here we go.

The Manti Te'o "Dead girlfriend hoax" is like a bad episode of Catfish

Manti Te'o to be stripped of all his Tour de France titles. Later, a public apology and resignation from Livestrong. #scandal

Thou shall not kill. Does that apply to fictional characters as well? Manti Te'o where you at?

Does this mean Brian's Song was fake too? No? [Cries again.]

The only thing that makes sense is that Tyrann Mathieu made up Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend when he was high on synthetic weed

Manti Te'o's Mormon faith allows the practice of pseudopolygamy

It's all in the preparation!!
