If the whole Manti Te'o debacle has got you scratching your head because you don't have time to read large, uninterrupted blocks of text ... here's a cartoon!

This football season was rough on Notre Dame's Manti Te'o. September saw the deaths of his beloved grandmother, as well as his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, who, after suffering a serious car accident was diagnosed with leukemia. Te'o has been struck with tragedy indeed, or he would be if it were true. While the death of his grandmother, Annette Santiago, did actually take place, DeadSpin found that t

The Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax story is the weirdest thing to happen since the Charlie Sheen spin-out. People keep looking for photos of her, and we found a few to prove that she does exist. Check them out after the jump.

Was Notre Dame middle linebacker Manti Te’o the victim of a cruel hoax or the mastermind behind a bizarre and twisted plot?

Maybe Notre Dame's schedule wasn't as challenging as Irish fans were willing to admit. Maybe not playing a conference championship game left them with too long of a layoff. Maybe a freshman quarterback just doesn't stand a chance against a Nick Saban coached team unless his last name is Manziel. Whatever the reason was, Notre Dame never stood a chance against the Alabama Crimson Tide, who repeated

Believe it or not, this video is so bad, that it could actually hurt Johnny Football’s Heisman chances.

Last month, it was a goal-line stand in overtime that propelled Notre Dame to a 20-13 home victory over the Stanford Cardinal. After five more victories, including close calls against BYU and Pittsburgh, the Fighting Irish found themselves in another situation where a goal-line stand would help secure a victory.
