Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o insisted he had no role in the strange hoax involving his "dead" girlfriend and that he was completely duped.

If what he says is true, I am incredibly confused by their "relationship". How can you even say someone is your girlfriend or boyfriend without ever having met in person...there's also the matter of her being in the hospital yet him never making an attempt to go visit...this whole story is bizarre to me.

How ironic that even his confession was online!!
