Jeff Ireland: Listen, kid. I’m taking a big risk even talking to you, but I think you’re a great athletic talent who can put this mess behind you and become a star in this league. First, we gotta get a few things straight.
Manti Te’o: For the millionth time, I was duped by some people on the Internet. It was an honest mistake.
Jeff Ireland: Stop right there. Just stop. Don’t bullsh*t me, kid. I’ve literally met with thousands of athletes just like you. A lot of them think they can ******** me with their stories. “That girl was already raped when I found her.” “It’s not my fault Florida’s drinking water has HGH in it.” “I was born mixed race. It’s not that I can’t make up my mind.” Believe me, I’ve heard them all and I can spot ‘em a mile away. So you better come clean or else we’re wasting each others’ time.
Manti Te’o: Okay. I made her up.
Jeff Ireland: There. Thank you. Now we’re getting answers. Okay… get the f*ck out of my office.
Manti Te’o: What?
