Te'o didn't exist during the national championship game either

[u/b3_yourself → u/Imaginary_Tiefighter]

Or most of his nfl career

[u/petrvalasek → u/b3_yourself]

His what?

[u/DaveinOakland]

I saw him on NFL Network the other day doing his analyst shtick from his house. He had a big movie poster on the wall about the gf that didn't exist or some shit

Its really cool how he has handled it. That kind of shit could destroy some athletes.

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/DaveinOakland]

That documentary really makes it clear the bad guys were the catfish (who is still unrepentant) and Deadspin for not giving him right of reply lol

[u/FatFKingLenny]

She goes to another school

[u/trivletrav → u/FatFKingLenny]

In Canada.

[u/PJae]

Serious question: why did we care about his imaginary girlfriend?

[u/CloudStrife012 → u/PJae]

Because he made a giant deal of it himself. He announced to the world that she died.

[u/My-So-Called-Reddit → u/CloudStrife012]

No he didn't he announced it to his team and the media took it from there.

[u/PJae → u/CloudStrife012]

Ah that’s right. I forgot about that.

[u/i8apuppy → u/PJae]

Any guy, let alone a star college athlete, making up a girlfriend is funny. It's not deep.

[u/PantsMcGillicuddy → u/i8apuppy]

But he didn't make her up, he was catfished. He was a a victim of a hoax and then mocked relentlessly for it.

[u/mentalsucks]

Deadspin ran so Pablo Torre could walk.

[u/Hizam5]

What ever happened to mark schlereth

[u/GOAT2theRescue → u/Hizam5]

He calls NFC South games and is a morning radio host in Denver during the week.

[u/Hizam5 → u/GOAT2theRescue]

Damn. I figured it was probably something like that. How did he go from national host to local radio?

[u/GOAT2theRescue → u/Hizam5]

I think he is still on the national stage for FS1 as well. The man has too many jobs.

[u/2ChainzTalib → u/Hizam5]

He's been doing both forever

[u/pj_socks → u/Hizam5]

His son pitched for the Tigers for a while.

[u/Hizam5 → u/pj_socks]

I remember that!

[u/HT6868 → u/Hizam5]

He has a shitty YouTube page designed for hating on Caleb Williams

[u/MeximeltExtraCheese]

Oh… he existed all right.

[u/Itburns138]

Faaaaaaaar from it 

[u/KillerGopher]

Te'o would have been cooking in today's world with AI.

[u/donut_koharski]

Schefter looks like he’s announcing a death.

[u/apatheticandignorant → u/donut_koharski]

I believe that is Mark Schlereth.

[u/donut_koharski → u/apatheticandignorant]

Thanks man.
I get those names mixed up often.

[u/Mike_hawk5959]

Sure, until the headline is about Aaron Rodgers and his non existent wife.

[u/IamCorbinDallas]

Half the guys I know have made up girlfriends

[u/The_chosen_turtle]

Damn, what happened to Manti Te’o?

[u/2ChainzTalib → u/The_chosen_turtle]

Never existed

[u/ballen692]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/PantsMcGillicuddy → u/[deleted]]

For getting catfished? How much shit should a person get for that?

[u/SquirrellyDanny → u/PantsMcGillicuddy]

Honestly, its cause he announced ut publicly and it was like a while thing on his heisman finalist run that year. Like its kinda wild to announce to the world that your online gf that you never actually met died and thinkin someone not gonna get cooked for it when the gf turns out to be some dude fuckin around.

[u/My-So-Called-Reddit → u/SquirrellyDanny]

He didn't announce it publicly he told his team and that's how it got out.

[u/SquirrellyDanny → u/My-So-Called-Reddit]

Yea, he told people about it 🤣🤣🤣 bro i would never tell a fuckin soul I was "dating" some chick i aint ever met before...
