Johnny Manziel Wants To Be A Dallas Cowboy
The Johnny Manziel saga went from weird to weirder overnight, and the public loves it. According to a report from ESPN radio in Cleveland, Manziel showed up to the Browns facility last Wednesday “disheveled and inebriated”.
The club had Manziel and his crew placed at a VIP table close to the DJ booth. According to Moss, who cited a source, Manziel requested that his dinner and drinks be comped because he didn’t have any cash on him and he didn’t want to use his credit card.
Johnny Manziel might not have spent Saturday night in Las Vegas, but “Billy Football” did?
Manziel hasn’t publicly acknowledged the rumors of him partying the night away before a game, but his time in Cleveland appears to be coming to a rapid end.
Manziel was at the team’s headquarters Monday as the Browns regrouped one day after a loss to Pittsburgh and the firings of coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer.
The organization has a major decision as to what to do next with the oft-embattled former first-round pick.
In what might be an effort to create an alibi for himself after-the-fact, Manziel posted a seemingly innocuous picture of himself and his dog to Instagram, with the hashtag #SaturdayNights, which is sure to throw everyone off his track. “Manziel also sat down at a blackjack table and a casino employee examining his photo ID exclaimed, ‘We’ve got Johnny Manziel with us tonight, ‘ according to John Hornacek, a 43-year-old casino patron who witnessed the exchange”.
The quarterback was not in attendance for Sunday’s game at FirstEnergy Stadium, but he was not required to by the Browns or the league’s concussion protocol.
Although it seemed that after completing a rehab program a year ago and then re-joining the Browns for the season he was working at staying out of the negative spotlight, Manziel began to slip again causing him to be benched by Cleveland.
Manziel, 23, played in nine games (six starts) this season and threw 1,500 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions and completed 57.8% of his passes.
