[Moderated by Matt Jones, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson]
Hello, friends. How are you? I want you to know, today, that you’re my true love. And I treasure all the time we’ve spent together. Also, I’m dying of leukemia. Could you have Brian Kelly send me a game ball? Here’s my facebook account name.
Friends, I don’t need to tell you that there’s a lot of talk in the sports world today about the possible inexistence of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s well-publicized and possibly deceased girlfriend Lennay Kekua. You know the story by now. But we here at Kentucky Sports Radio are nothing if not constantly vigilant to your own well-being. We want you to be happy, and live fruitful lives, and win Heisman trophies. That’s why today, as another in a long-running collection of public service announcements to you, our readers, we offer a simple quiz for you to take at your home or workplace to avoid any potential media scandals in a piece we’ll call The KSR Quiz: Does Your Girlfriend Exist? If just one of you realizes that you’ve been the victim of a hoax you may or may not be perpetuating to increase your chances of national publicity, we’ve done our job. Sound good? Let’s get to it, then. Please answer the following questions open and honestly, and I’ll see you here again next week.

Your Te’o jokes kill me! It wouldn’t get old if you made posts all year on him. Teosportsradio
January 17th, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Love it, Tomlin
January 17th, 2013 at 1:40 pm
Everyone knows that 4 is c.) A coconut/caramel girl scout cookie. You can buy them from my daughter.
January 17th, 2013 at 1:43 pm
Of course she exist! She frequently dies though, but then I reinflate her and Waallllaaaa!
January 17th, 2013 at 1:49 pm
Laugheth mine arse off!
January 17th, 2013 at 1:51 pm
Clever idea. Clever post.
January 17th, 2013 at 1:56 pm
That was pretty damn funny
January 17th, 2013 at 1:58 pm
He will be a second round pick. This attention getting plan blew up. It must be rough for him right now but he will survive.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:01 pm
You all are beating a “dead” horse, can we move on please!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:05 pm
Bahahaha
January 17th, 2013 at 2:06 pm
Good stuff.Using the Te’o method of courtship I can keep my wife and have a ‘girl friend’ too. #9 The horse isn’t dead until Manti confesses to being over-rated as a player and as a team.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:07 pm
The truth about Te’o's dead fake girlfriend is that she dumped him – for Clint Eastwoods empty chair! (Heard this one at work!)
January 17th, 2013 at 2:08 pm
I wonder if there was a memorial fund set up for his “dead” girlfriend. If so, who got the money. This would be considered fraud, if he was receiving the money wouldn’t this also make him ineligible? I hate N. Dame.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:11 pm
Hahaha hard not to bust out laughing during class. Teo is an idiot
January 17th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
That was BTI type/low hanging fruit work. Tomlin, you’re better than this.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:16 pm
Hilarious! This story wouldn’t be half as funny if Teo hadn’t acted like such an a$$ when we played Notre Dame in basketball and he was yelling “overrated” right in the players faces. Also didn’t like that they gave him so much camera and microphone time during our game. Can’t say I’m not enjoying this. A lot. Keep ‘em coming, please.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:16 pm
is this really right? I hate being a Debbie downer but this is wrong and the way you all are reacting to a kid who thought someone he was having a relationship with for years died is terrible … What’s funny about that? …. Okay so he lied about meeting a girl, but at the end of the day he’s the victim… Maybe it’s because someone I knew got ” catfished” i can understand how it felt because my buddy hasnt been the same since.. someone like him may never be the same and it’ll possible scar him I know it’s all fun and games but what if all of you guys laughing at him and making fun of him for having a online relationship cause him to commit suicide ( god forbid ). Will it still be funny?
January 17th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Ofcourse if he was behind all of this all hell will break loose…
January 17th, 2013 at 2:20 pm
@17) he knew what was going on. He lied mutiple times himself to decieve the public and he knew the guy that was doing it. He wanted the publicity and the heisman, so he wrote his own personal Nicholas Sparks background stories to warm americas hearts.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:25 pm
19- According to who though? You? What if he really didn’t know? How about we reserve judgement until something more comes out. Otherwise, all this talk really could be ruining his life.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
#17 – He knew. His dad lied about it multiple times as well. There’s no denying it. The weirdest part is the Arizona fullback that still claims she’s real!
January 17th, 2013 at 2:32 pm
Sounds like Lennay is Buckethead Wendy
January 17th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
If he really is the victim, then this is cruel…If he was in on it, then this post is old and tired, cant believe you actually took the time to type this out.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
Maybe we shouldn’t be so rough on Te’o (is that HIS real name anyway?). Ya know, he is in the “special” program at ND. Don’t believe me, check out his course work, it makes UNC athletes blush.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Damn you Mai Tai….
January 17th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
After you have enjoyed the humor with this story about the dead fake girl friend we may realize he is on to something. Would not all of our lives benefitted from a few fake girl friends instead of all the problems we have had with real girl friends.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:41 pm
My girlfriend has an unprecedented amount of spam ware.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:42 pm
#26 – My wife would rather I have a ‘real’ girlfriend, that way she would know I still liked women and was a typical crappy husband. Now, if she found out I had a ‘fake’ girlfriend, and went as far with the story as Manti, she’d have me committed, and divorse me and take all my stuff.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:46 pm
Love one of you bucketheaded hoes? No way.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:48 pm
When you get down on one knee and pray in public that is “Tebowing”…. If you hug yourself in public are you “Te’oing”?
January 17th, 2013 at 2:49 pm
For everyone that say to stop beating a dead horse, this story broke yesterday, make you’re complaint a month from now. Is anyone really surprised that everyone is taking up for this dude? We all know that these “journalist” aren’t going to admit they were too swept up in the story to do their due dilligence and ND is just saving face until the truth comes out. Nobody likes it when the golden boy turns out to be a d bag.
January 17th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
#17 Are you the same dude that wants all of us to leave Brittny alone?
January 17th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
Teo is a psychopath. Not sure about his GF.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:06 pm
And, ND helped him cover it up. Of course, they have years of experience doing the same things with priests.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:19 pm
Sorry–the priest comment was a low blow.
January 17th, 2013 at 3:20 pm
My left hand exists.
January 17th, 2013 at 4:39 pm
Te’o will have the worst awareness level in Madden history
January 17th, 2013 at 6:30 pm
30 and 37 – too funny!

This is by far the best site I have seen about Manti Te’o jokes! Priceless!
January 18th, 2013 at 12:27 am
the #4 question should include C.) a girl scout cookie
January 18th, 2013 at 10:40 am
37. Wins, well done Capt. Obvious.
January 18th, 2013 at 11:04 am
I am shocked that Pete Thamel went with a headline grabbing story instead of seeking out the facts. Shocked!
January 18th, 2013 at 11:30 am
Probably should have quit after about question 5. Come on. You’re better than that.
January 18th, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Where’s number 13?
