Our very own Drew Franklin’s picture of Manti Te’o holding his girlfriend’s hand.
Everyone who has a computer knows the story about Manti Te’o having a fake girlfriend that fake died. When it came out this afternoon, Twitter exploded. EVERY tweet I saw was about Manti Te’o. KSR and friends wasted no time taking to the Twitter-waves. There were some funny tweets and there were some funnier tweets. You decide which are which.
When is the appropriate age to tell my son Manti Te’o's girlfriend isn’t real? You know he’s going to find out from other kids eventually.

Manti Teo forgot the #1 rule…you can date fake internet girlfriends, but you should never fall in love
— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) January 16, 2013
So Manti Teo’s girlfriend was Sarah Phillips?

You wanna know what’s weirder than Manti Teo making up a girlfriend then pretend killing her? Nothing.

Guys everywhere: “But… Katherine Webb is still real, right?” — Kristen Geil (@KristenGeilKSR) January 16, 2013
Manti Teo’s girlfriend was in his arms less than Alabama running backs. — Aaron Flener (@AFlenerKSR) January 16, 2013
Kidding aside, the Te’o story is one of the most bizarrely fascinating sports stories since Marv Albert bit a lady on the butt. — C.M. Tomlin (@CM_Tomlin) January 17, 2013
A fake dead girl is preferable to any actual Notre Dame girl I’ve ever met, so I kinda get Manti Teos thinking
— Tucker Max (@TuckerMax) January 16, 2013
Don’t forget, Manti Te’o is a Mormon. There’s no telling how many fake girlfriends/wives he might have.
— Josh Cohron (@JoshCohron) January 16, 2013
Te’o would have gotten away with it if his “girlfriend” was an AFAM major at UNC — Ben Swain (@thedevilwolf) January 16, 2013
The Te’o story is an example of the media believing & perpetuating something that’s an outright lie. Sums up Notre Dame football perfectly. — Not Jerry Tipton (@NotJerryTipton) January 17, 2013
Kinda creepy to have an imaginary dead girlfriend. Anyway, I’m off to dinner with my wife, Brittany Murphy.

Did Deadspin just cost Manti Te’o a spot in Round 1? I mean, more than Alabama already did? — Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelCBS) January 16, 2013

If manti teo is this naive in the nfl he’ll have more people on the payroll than mc hammer

Even Twilight fan girls convinced Robert Pattinson is their boyfriend are shaking their heads at Manti Te’o.
— Tyler Thompson (@MrsTylerKSR) January 16, 2013
What’s less believable, this Manti story or Landry/Tyra murder story arc from FNL?
— Will Lentz (@WillLentz) January 17, 2013
I’m still waiting for Doron Lamb to weigh in. He’s not in favor of cuffing a girl with a pulse, so I can only imagine his disgust when he finds out Te’o was cuffing a fake girl. I’m guessing there will be some head shaking.
If you had a good tweet that was left out, the comment section is all yours. Keep them coming.

Fake girlfriends. How lame
January 16th, 2013 at 9:41 pm
Remember when this nation had journalists? I mean NO ONE bothered to even VERIFY this before spreading the gospel all over the airwaves every weekend? The only bigger cover up is all the crap on Obama.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:43 pm
I have no respect for a man that lies about a woman

The investigative prowess of Thamel strikes again

This would have been an amazing April Fool’s joke if he could have kept it a secret a little while longer.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:46 pm
Rod E. Piper. That made me lol…..Loudly
January 16th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
Fake girlfriends are O V E R R A T E D!!!!
Now in NOTRE DAME fashion let’s rush the floor.
January 16th, 2013 at 9:48 pm

January 16th, 2013 at 9:54 pm
Welp
Looks like louisville and manti’s girlfriend have somethin in common
January 16th, 2013 at 9:57 pm
I have literally not stopped laughing at the reactions to this story since about 5pm.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:00 pm
Next, you’re going to tell me that the strippers at the club really aren’t into me….#WorldLooksDifferentNow

Eloy, hands down best tweet.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:03 pm
So we aint the only one’s who don’t exist anymore?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:04 pm
Not getting Eloys tweet, explain?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:04 pm
I’m devastated-more than when I found out milli vanilli were fake singing!!!
January 16th, 2013 at 10:05 pm
All of a sudden lance Armstrong looks like man of the year for honesty.
Johnny manziels pet unicorn died
Atleast we know Aj mcarrons gf is real…the only fake thing is her boobs
January 16th, 2013 at 10:06 pm
Reposting one of your own tweets? Who are you, Flener, Corey friggin’ Nichols?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:07 pm
Im not buying that she isnt dead…I mean look how te’o dealt with mccarron….looks like he is used to a spooky white creature dragging chains.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:12 pm
I bet she tasted like fake honey nut cheerios

Manti Te ‘os girlfriend is rolling in her grave.
His reputation is buried deeper than her.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Manti’s girlfriend was SexnNursinghomes ex-wife
January 16th, 2013 at 10:19 pm
I heard Billy Clyde has reached out to Manti. “Hey Manti, heard about the whole fake girlfriend thing, sorry man. While I’ve got you on the phone, let me tell you about this great investment opportunity….”
January 16th, 2013 at 10:22 pm
WLOY!!!
Eloy’s comment is the best yet. Simple. Direct. Hilarious.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:29 pm
How does Not Jerry Tipton ALWAYS manage to win everything?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:30 pm
Te Os girlfriend was almost as big a hoax as Notre Dames defense
January 16th, 2013 at 10:33 pm
I’m Manti Te’o . I see dead girlfriends.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:44 pm
For heaven’s sake. Give the guy a break! He believes that the angel Moroni lead Joseph Smith to magical glasses and that let Smith read gibberish tablets. So why is it hard to believe his girlfriend wasn’t “real” to him

Some maryland fans rushed the court after beating NC State tonight… #14 ranked NC State, mind you. You’d think they’d never won a championship or something
January 16th, 2013 at 10:45 pm
How will Thamel explain his writing about him spending time with her before she died?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:47 pm
I heard Teo’s girl is now dating Sidd Finch
January 16th, 2013 at 10:50 pm
I find it ironic that a publication called Deadspin broke the story!
January 16th, 2013 at 10:56 pm
Mike & Mike show on ESPN loves to talk about Notre Dame. I bet they do not talk about this.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:56 pm
Most regular people play fantasy football. Football players apparently play fantasy regular people.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:56 pm
Dick Vitale will not rest until he finds out who killed MT’O's girlfriend.
January 16th, 2013 at 10:57 pm
this was a comment on deadspin…. “Wow. All these Catholics are crazy upset about Lennay not being real. You can only imagine the kind of shitstorm it’s going to be when they finally find out about Jesus.”
January 16th, 2013 at 11:01 pm
What does Dawg the Bounty Hunter, Obama’s birth certificate, and Manti Teo’s relationship have in common? #fakeasshawaii
January 16th, 2013 at 11:11 pm
Manti got everyone to believe he had a girlfriend who died, but she was fake. Then he got everyone to believe he had a football team. But when it died, it wasn’t fake.
January 16th, 2013 at 11:14 pm
Issac in Long Beach…very nice!
January 16th, 2013 at 11:17 pm
@36 BAHAHAHAHA, That is great.
January 16th, 2013 at 11:18 pm
36 Best comment so far….
January 16th, 2013 at 11:21 pm
Welcome to the SEC!!! Real football………….real girlfriends !!!!!
January 16th, 2013 at 11:22 pm
@tuck1130: Te’o finished last in his fantasy league. To be fair who would expect Willie Beamin(QB) and Rod Tidwell(WR) to not score a point?#NotreDame
January 17th, 2013 at 3:15 am
Awesome seeing Hunter Johnson on here. He is basically Alabama’s Drew Franklin.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:53 am
Te’o can now be a poster boy for Low Testosterone. After watching him get run over by tha Bama Backs I had my suspicsions. After reading about his fake girlfriend, they were confirmed. LOW T plus Brokeback Mountain Syndrome.
Ya gotta love Pete Thamel. He actually believes he’s a journalist. We all know, however, that he’s a fake journalist. He deserves a trophy for TRYING to be a journalist. Brokeback Mountain Syndrome.
Low T apparently is a Notre Dame trait. During the game broadcast, it was noted that one of the Alabama linemen could bench over 600 lbs. Notre Dame and KSR bragged about how a lineman recruit from Kentucky who weighs 310 lbs can bench 300 lbs. Low T.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:59 am
Too bad Petrino didn’t meet Te’os girlfriend before he met Jessica Dorrel. He would still be at Arkansas.
January 17th, 2013 at 4:13 am
Maybe he doesn’t like real girls and this was a way of not dealing with them?
January 17th, 2013 at 4:58 am
I got Manti Te’o in my Fantasy League

At least Pitino’s girlfriend was real
January 17th, 2013 at 6:48 am
52 – Are you SURE? You know how much Pitino likes publicity.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:12 am
Tony Bruno on FB is speculating that he may be a closeted gay. If so hopefully now he admit it & live his life. On the downside what was left of NFL career is over
January 17th, 2013 at 8:12 am
Since Te’o finished 2nd in the Heisman vote, Brian Kelly has required all ND football players to initiate relationships with fake girls from Hawaii.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:25 am
This is a perfect example of why you should never date anyone online. People who go online are crazy.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:48 am
Shouldn’t Aaron Fleners had said… “Alabama running backs were in his arms less than his girlfriend” ?
Aaron Flener@AFlenerKSR
Manti Teo’s girlfriend was in his arms less than Alabama running backs.
January 17th, 2013 at 9:23 am
I bet his hands are glad this is finally over, i wonder wich one she was.
January 17th, 2013 at 9:43 am
Aaron Flener had some potential to make a good comment but let it get away from him. The comment he wanted to make was: “The only thing that has been in Manti Te’os arms less than his deceased girlfriend? Alabama runningbacks.” There you go. Fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:01 am
is there a franchise opportunity in south bend?
January 17th, 2013 at 10:05 am
You know who’s been duped here? Me. Their sex tape was bs.
On a side note, we all know that they call it catfishing because catfish have teeth, right? It’s a metaphor saying if you stick anything in its mouth it will get bit. <————- education, right dare.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:07 am
Its Just Lunch ….
Yes, there is a franchise opportunity. Someone should open up a new Hooters there that you can only go to online.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:15 am
I feel for him. Just got a tweet from my fake girlfriend and she is pregnant. She has the fake baby daddy narrowed down to fake barney and fake gimel, i am so devestated.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:47 am
Holding her hand? Are you trying to church-up Drew’s jerk-off joke for the virgin minds of KSR readers?
January 17th, 2013 at 11:18 am
#1 one was the best. The rest just don’t compare to the Narnia comment. LOL’d hard at that one. Barely smirked at the rest after that. KidCody thanks for that.
January 17th, 2013 at 12:05 pm
If AJ McCarron’s girlfriend turns out to be trick photography, I am going to be so pissed when I don’t see her in Sports Illustrated.
January 17th, 2013 at 12:15 pm
Brett Musburger says Manti’s girlfriend is even more beautiful than AJ’s and if we want to date a girl like that, we should start when we are young to fake work out and fake lift weights and fake tackle people really hard (just like he did vs Bama).
January 17th, 2013 at 12:17 pm
How many Rolexes you think Manti has bought online? 15? 20?
January 17th, 2013 at 12:38 pm
Was Rudi real? He was the most beautiful boy I ever met in a movie.
January 17th, 2013 at 1:36 pm
One guy from Hawii claiming a girlfriend and another that claims citizenship. A trend??
January 17th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
#1 & #36′s comments on here are better than any of those tweets, lmao!
January 17th, 2013 at 4:06 pm
This just in…Manti Te’O allowed a fifth year of eligibility by NCAA because University of Phoenix offers a major Notre Dame does not. In related news, Nivea, the lotion products manufacturer, offers Manti Te’O a lucrative endorsement deal…claiming his seven interceptions are a credit to his “soft hands”.
