Just one week after Manti Te’o, Notre Dame All-American linebacker and media darling, became undoubtedly the largest and most public catfishing case in history, more questions have been raised than answers revealed.
I sat by her bed and read the sentences, over and over, so many times I lost count. “Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
