With the sports world kind of slow till the NFL games this Sunday, we want to say "Thanks" to Manti Te'o for giving us something to talk about and have a little fun with.

By now you know that Manti is the Notre Dame player with a fake FB girlfriend. So now, some reasons a fake girlfriend is better than real.  If your parents don't like her, that's ok she's not coming over to their house for dinner and she won't be moving in with you either.  If you're not in the mood to snuggle or have small talk, no problem.  Although snuggling yourself sounds a little creepy.  You don't have to worry about her changing the way your bathroom or living room looks, although that means she won't clean it either.

If you go out on a date for dinner, it will only cost you half or so.  However when you do the courtesy reach for the check, there will be no one to grab it before you do.  You won't have to worry about Brent Musberger saying what a hot, smokin girlfriend you have and upstaging you.

I would do more but I think we need to remember.  These Teo jokes are funny but let's remember that a person who never existed is dead.
