Johnny Manziel showed up to practice drunk
But Haslam seemed as mystified as anyone about Manziel’s disappearance, saying he didn’t know why he missed a scheduled treatment at the team facility.
However, the sources tell us he ended up paying with his card and signing the check.
Monday was the getaway day for the Browns, who concluded a 3-13 season with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Johnny Manziel in Las Vegas in disguise – Internet mocks QB? “They’ll make those calls”, Haslam said.
He did show up for Monday’s exit meetings with the Browns, but Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com notes it “might’ve been too little, too late” for Manziel.
Manziel did post something on Instagram that indicated he was in OH that night, but the theories are he simply used geotagging to fake it.
The Browns weren’t sure of Manziel’s exact location on Sunday, when USA Today reported the 23-year-old was in Vegas eating at a casino and even sitting down at a blackjack table.
Now reports the UK Daily Mail reveals that “Johnny Manziel reportedly wore a blond wig, mustache and sunglasses to party in Las Vegas Saturday night, telling people his name was Billy”. “It’s hard for me to say because I don’t exactly what happened”, Bitonio said. Once, he was also accused of shoving girlfriend Colleen Crowley’s head against a vehicle window, and once, he lied to the Browns coaching staff about a photo of him holding an alcoholic beverage being older than it was.
Manziel’s mystery weekend left a lot of questions unanswered and raised more questions about the former Heisman Trophy victor and first-round pick. The Cowboys had a chance to draft Manziel a few years ago and didn’t.
So, if this report is to be believed, Manziel needed to get to Vegas so bad, he couldn’t wait two days until the season was over.
As for Johnny Manziel, players said he was in the building meeting with Haslam and Brown. “He’s very talented. If you spend some time with him, he’s a likable guy”.
