Deadspin dropped a bombshell this afternoon that one of the most popular, heartwarming stories of the college football season — Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o's doomed love with a dying girl — was a hoax .

The photos were pulled from another girl’s Facebook page, and doctored to dodge Google Image search
