Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Oh to be a fly on the wall for the NFL teams' personal interviews with Manti Te'o over the next few months.

I bet Te'o will either be a member of the Jets, Raiders or Bengals

And Manti Te'o is convinced the beautiful stranger will be watching too Saturday, somehow. Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago. She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them. The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest. "They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple. "And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now." About the time Kekua and Manti became a couple, she was injured in an auto accident. There were complications during her recovery. And it was also during her recovery that it was discovered Kekua had leukemia. "That was just in June," Brian Te'o said. "I remember Manti telling me later she was going to have a bone marrow transplant and, sure enough, that's exactly what happened. From all I knew, she was doing really, really well." Kekua, who eventually graduated from Stanford, was, in fact, doing so well that she was released from the hospital on Sept. 10. And Brian Te'o was among those congratulating her via telephone. Less than 48 hours later, at 4 a.m. Hawaii time, Kekua sent a text to Brian and Ottilia, expressing her condolences over the passing of Ottilia's mom, Annette Santiago, just hours before http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2012-...rish-head-coach If she really visit him in Hawaii, there must be many pics of them both together.

Major Garrett ‏@MajorCBS Can't wait for compare/contrast analysis from PR gurus re: Notre Dame on Te'o and Lance Armstrong on doping

Stephen Douglas ********@CRM_Stephen Manti Te'o wasn't missing tackles in the National Championship, he was hugging his girlfriend.

I can see a number of young women making star athletes fall in love with them, and then right when they are going to be drafted in the Nfl and make millions. . .BAM! pretend their dead. Te'o is a fraud!!

If my girl died, I wouldn't care what was going on. Wouldn't he have talk to her family after the game

Your right we will never see a pic. Te'o is a joke and I hope this scumbag falls to the 7th rd

Wouldn't have Te'o gone to her funeral?

ND is just lying for Te'o. That whole college is a fraud, from Touchdown Jesus to this ND SUCKS!!!

Someone should've fact-checked on the girlfriend much earlier.

Bruce Feldman ‏@BFeldmanCBS I'm told Notre Dame will have an official comment on the Deadspin Manti Te'o story shortly.

Totally agree with you

My hate for ND just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout Manti Te'o declined Senior Bowl invite, meaning the NFL Scouting Combine in late February is first chance for most media to question him

He lied about his GF dying

Te'o college career is over with.

Te'o is a fraud. Thank god that loser won't be on the 49ers

Te'o is a fraud & liar. He's another reason to hate ND.

To be their TV guy. Thank you for 2005

As a outsider looking in, Besides Marshall I see the rest of your WR's a huge weakness. Hester used to be a great ST player but he isn't that good at the WR position. The other 2 are good backup role players. Your #1 weakness on offense is the tight end position, maybe you will draft the TE from ND. You can find several good OL in the draft. A team with Cutler, Forte, Marshall, Wallace and solid TE, would win tbe NFC North for the next 3-4 years The Bears made some very good moves today

Jerry Rice compares Trestman to Bill Walsh. It was a very nice hire for the Bears. I got to meet Trestman when he was with the 49ers, he seem like a great guy Look for the Bears to sign a guy like Mike Wallace, Trestman loves having 2 star WR's

Bevell will be meeting with the Jaguars

It sucks that Dunn won't be there
