I know, people should come by this side of the board more often. I actually heard it from you before any other source. So thanks.

Definitely a strange story. I tend to believe T'eo was, at least by a point, part of he conspiracy for personal gain. It's not as if it's a Notre Dame football star would have trouble getting a genuine girlfriend.

In my mind it was all about the publicity. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not, this could really cost this guy alot of money.....

I can see it starting out as a simple "white lie" so to speak.

Mom - "I saw Mrs X in the grocery store today with her daughter, when you come home next week I told them I want to introduce you two, you would make a nice couple"

Manti - "Oh mom, why do you do that? I already have a girlfriend"

and away we go for what has become an E ticket version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

But, in this day and age, once it's out, it's out, and the best play on his part is to come COMPLETELY clean. Regardless of what "completely clean" means.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of wanna be Columbo's out there freaking out about this "story" right now.

I don't know. Katherine Webb doesn't impress me at all. And I'm not talking about looks. Fake girlfriend, trophy girlfriend, what's the difference?

One would keep you a lot warmer at night than the other.
David you're a hard guy to impress obviously. :)

I'm not saying she isn't good looking. I'm just not looking for a woman who's highest aspiration in life is to be an NFL sideline announcer.
