The good people at NMA TV have released an animated account of the Manti Te'o saga, and their version of events presents a compelling, yet slightly altered narrative.
Te'o fell madly in love with a woman over the phone and was positively smitten.
Both his phone-girlfriend and grandmother died over a short period, but Te'o battled through his grief.
He then became a Transformer and obliterated Michigan State.
Te'o told reporters his girlfriend died in a car accident.
The media ran wild with the story...
...until two reporters at Deadspin found out it was all a hoax.
They entered a virtual world to check facts.
Meanwhile, Te'o buttchugged with some leprechauns.
He later woke up to find that his girlfriend ISN'T REAL!
