this shouldnt even be a story.
So this is losing steam now that Schapp got the Te'o interview and it seems like he really was duped the whole time? However he lied about meeting her to make it seem like he wasn't a complete weirdo about the whole thing?

Manti Te’o's off-camera interview leaves more questions than answers
Manti Te’o’s attempt to clear up the story involving him, a woman he thought was his girlfriend and a hoax that’s been going on since his sophomore year, did not result in the closure for which he hoped.
After ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap delivered a piecemeal account of a 2 1/2-hour interview that wasn’t allowed to be taped and involved limited audio, those listening to Schaap retell Te’o’s story were left with more questions than answers.
Perhaps the most telling piece of information – the tidbit Schaap buried at the end of his first recount – was the fact that Te’o told him he thought Lenny Kekua, his supposed girlfriend, was still real until two days earlier when the Deadspin story broke. On that day, Te’o told Schaap that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man many have fingered as the mastermind behind this hoax, called Te’o and told him he had made up Kekua and that the entire relationship was fabricated. Schaap did not provide details on Tuiasosopo’s motives or any other details of the call.
Whether or not he was filmed or not doesn't really matter... Its on audio, and his words are his words.It might be losing a bit of steam only because more people are realizing what a lying clown he is. That "interview" was a joke. ESPN should be ashamed for conducting it under those circumstances.So this is losing steam now that Schapp got the Te'o interview and it seems like he really was duped the whole time?

Deadspin explaining why he did an off-camera interview:

Alright but how do you duped for 3+ years? Plus he was talking about how perfect she was and how much he liked her but within a month of your "gf" dying you start dating another chick. We're not talking about a random chick he was smashing but his "gf" of years that he was supposedly talking to for 8 hours a day.Am I the only one who thinks the story is plausible? Whether you believe in online dating or not, it sounds like it was a kid who liked a girl and then got duped and was embarrassed about it.
