Manti Te'o dead girlfriend story a hoax?

[Danzig]

the cynic in me says this is just another athlete trying to work angles for some sort of profit. you know, say...heisman votes in this case? there are so many liars, cheaters and stealers in sports (just like every walk of life) that one more just wouldn't surprise. of course, i always try to give people benefit of the doubt, but this story just reeks.
the timing of the g/f 'dying' at the same time as the grandmother-it just seems too coincidental, too hard to believe. and manti talking about it, like in the youtube interview. it's such a convoluted tale, and i just can't help wondering...it just seems too much to think he knew nothing, that he was so gullible.
