Johnny Manziel Seen Gambling In Vegas Night Before Browns’ Season Finale
“I would like thank Dee and Jimmy Haslam for the opportunity they granted me to lead the Cleveland Browns as head coach for the past two seasons”.
Manziel had been downgraded to out in the days before Sunday’s game due to a concussion suffered the week before against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Pettine was sacked following Cleveland’s 28-12 loss to the Steelers in the regular-season finale, which could explain why Manziel may have thought it safe to venture to Las Vegas, as reports allege.
The post Browns QB Johnny Manziel back after being no-show Sunday, doesn’t talk to reporters appeared first on Chronicle-Telegram.
The weekend situation became murkier when Manziel did not report to the team’s training facility Sunday to continue treatment for his concussion.
Haslam agreed with left tackle Joe Thomas that quarterback is the team’s most important position.
The name’s Billy, Billy Football… actually I don’t have a surname..
USA Today quoted an employee and patron who said they saw Manziel at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood on Saturday. “I think he has the knowledge. There will be plenty of time to work on that over the next several months”.
The Browns were unable to reach Manziel by phone on Sunday, according to Sports Illustrated.
Manziel’s off-field antics – partying and a public argument with his girlfriend on the shoulder of an OH highway – have been a problem for the second-year quarterback.
“I am a fan of Sashi Brown and the way he approaches things”, Hawkins said. “I wasn’t”, but later the coach said that if the rumors were true, “it would be disappointing”. “If you spend some time with him, he’s a likable guy”. You root for him, but there are problems there. “I was like, ‘How you doing, man?’ He’s like, ‘I’m good'”.
But Johnny Football to Chicago seems like a longshot considering the Bears’ apparent commitment to Jay Cutler, plus the fact that Chicago was the only NFC team to skip Manziel’s pro day in 2014.
