Tuiasosopo!!!: In 2012, Notre Dame football star and Heisman candidate Manti Te'o had a breakout season, despite the fact that his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua had recently died in a car accident. It was an uplifting story of personal triumph... until Deadspin found out that Lennay never existed. In fact, she was the creation of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, an acquaintance of Manti's. Tuiasosopo had been pulling one over on Te'o for an unreal three years of romantic phone calls and emails. Once exposed, he did what we all would do: He went on Dr. Phil, then retreated into obscurity.
