did he talk about it in interviews and stuff..

or was this a story that was just out there about him....

I honestly had never heard it so I'm curious.

if this was a story that Mantei put out there....and it's totally made up... I mean..that's going to hurt him in the draft probably... honesty is a character issue...

also from a cultural standpoint..this is a bit odd to me because it's been my experience that type of thing seems out of character for them as a whole.
