There can't be any possible way an NFL coach would entrust this guy to lead a team. If he plays great his behavior will get worse. If he's got any shot he'll fail miserably, fast, and hopefully have time to grow up.
You have to remember that it's also about creating hope bad hype to sell tickets and jerseys.   Dallass has been doing it for years now and Jacksonville could have done it with Tebow.

Cleveland sucks and has sucked for years now.   Manziel may flame out in spectacular fashion but he's already created a buzz that can only (financially) help that franchise. 

I just don't see any well this is going to end well for the Browns except Hoyer may end up being "the guy" and not John Football

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam wasn't happy with Johnny Manziel's money phone video, and the club has told him to tone it down, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Friday on NFL Insiders.

 

In the video, Manziel, barely able to keep his eyes open, pretends a stack of cash is his phone and shouts into it, 'I can't hear you! I have too much money in my f------ hand!'  

 

"It did not sit well with the owner Jimmy Haslam, who did instruct his staff to at least have a talk with Johnny about being more savvy as he deals with social media," Mort said on ESPN Insiders. "We know you're young. We know you're single. Joe Montana himself said that Bill Walsh pulled him aside, and that was before the age of social media. Johnny Manziel has been told to tone it down, and to watch what goes up on social media."

 

Manziel was asked specifically Friday morning at a Play 60 youth clinic here if the Browns had told him to tone down the partying, and he said no.

"I don't think I'm doing anything wrong,'' Manziel said. "I'm going out. Everybody goes out on the weekends and enjoys their life and lives their life and just for them, they don't have people that when they walk into a place pull out their phones and all they want to do is follow me around and record everything, so my situation is unique and different and now more than ever I've seen that it's an every weekend thing wherever I'm at, whether it's here in Cleveland on a weekend, or in Dallas or anywhere on a weekend people want to record what I'm doing because they think it's a story.

"Everybody goes out and has fun. I'm not doing anything that's putting myself in a harmful situation. I'm not doing anything that's putting my team or jeopardizing what I do here throughout the week, or what I'm looking forward to doing this season.''

 

Manziel has been criticized by dozens of big-name former players for his weekend antics, including Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Warren Moon and Joe Montana. Smith was the most critical, warning Manziel that his partying would be a "short career lifestyle'' if he continues at this pace.

 

"I'm not going to change who I am for anybody,'' Manziel said.

I hope he doesn't change who he is.  The way he's going, his crashing and burning is going to be spectacularly entertaining.
Copes called to party with Justin Biever, Johnny Manziel, and Floyd Mayweather

quote:
TMZ said the party, also attended by recording artists Tyrese and Tyga and Bieber's maybe girlfriend Chantel Jeffries (Selena Gomez is furious, y'all), got so loud the Beverly Hills Police Department was called in twice early Tuesday morning. TMZ said the first time the cops came was because the music was too loud, the second time was because "packs of young girls" were screaming outside of Bieber's condo for him.

He wants the attention, just like all the other douchey celebrities we constantly hear about on the news. He wants to see these photos on social media because he wants people to give him attention. He has enough money to buy out a VIP section and party hard without anyone finding out, but being discrete doesn't land you on TMZ. Justin Bieber isn't popular for his sh*tty music anymore, he stays relevant because he is always on the news or the police blotter. Manziel isn't going to change, it will only get worse when he can't get on the news for his play.

They may have partied like Manziel, but at least they'd have been discrete and that's why they'd have cracked his ass.

 

Loud mouthed punk.

Every athlete was discreet in the 50's and 60's.   Or was it the lack of coverage or the downright covering up of indescretions

Nice sentiment, but they (Hornung / MaGee) didn't have to deal with phones w/cameras and social media. Hell, even as recently as the '90s, Favre would have been all over TMZ, had there been a TMZ.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I sure appreciate that the media would know all about Max partying all night before a game and his behaviour would have had to be curtailed.

 

But, I sure don't see Max making a video like the one with Manziel holding the cash.

 

Come to think of it, I don't know if Manziel had it made or someone recorded him.

Hanging with Bieber is stupid enough. But alledgedly there were underage girls at that party as well. Thats a sure recipe for disaster, especially if drugs or alcohol were also involved. Maybe thats why Manziel was there in the first place for the young chickies.
