Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo admitted Thursday that he was one of several people duped by an elaborate hoax involving the death of his nonexistent girlfriend in a revealing interview with a scarecrow dressed as Katie Couric. It wasnt just mea lot of people got tricked, said Teo, who reportedly reached for the scarecrows straw hand and gazed longingly into the eyes drawn on the burlap sack face. You know, Katie, your beautiful face reminds me a lot of Lennays. You make me so comfortable, I feel like Ive known you forever. I love how youre always smiling. At press time, sources confirmed that a panicked Teo was frantically attempting to resuscitate the unresponsive Katie Couric scarecrow.
