well if his football career doesn't work out he sure has the door open for a political run.
show me someone who is on the fast track to stardom and i'll show you an agent who already has 10 positive PR stories in his back pocket just like this.
now all he has to do is save a puppy from a burning building.

LOL-You may not believe this but he actually did run out into heavy traffic one day near Kyle Field to save a kitten caught in the middle.

This post has shown the GOOD side of a star athlete when there are so many negative happenings with athletes these days.
Thanks for starting this thread.

Twitterverse fallout :
ESPN Cleveland ‏@ESPNCleveland 2h What really happened in the #Browns draft room one week ago? You'll get a first-hand account next on @ESPNCleveland Tonight on ESPN 850 WKNR
ESPN Cleveland ‏@ESPNCleveland 2h Loggains: Manziel texted me and said “I wish you guys would come get me.” I forwarded that to the owner & HC & they said let’s go get him.
Bo Mattingly ‏@SportsTalkwBo 4h Loggains: We had to get in front of the Chiefs b/c we knew they’d take Manziel. When we traded up, I knew we were going to take him.

CLEVELAND (92.3 The Fan) – The legend of how Johnny Manziel landed in Cleveland with the Browns last Thursday night added another chapter Thursday.
A simple text from Manziel to Browns quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains set the wheels in motion.
In a radio interview with Bo Mattingly, host of “SportsTalk With Bo Mattingly” which airs weekdays on 5 Arkansas radio stations, Loggains talked about the text that prompted owner Jimmy Haslam, general manager Ray farmer and head coach Mike Pettine to go get him.
You can find the complete interview on Bo Mattingly’s website: http://sportstalkwithbo.com.
According to Loggains, as Manziel kept sliding down the board in round 1, he sent Loggains a text that read: “I wish you guys would come get me. Hurry up and draft me because I want to wreck this league together.”
Loggains quickly forwarded the text to Haslam and Pettine.
That’s when Haslam made the decision that they were going to trade up to get Johnny Football and the Browns knew they had to get in front of Kansas City to do it.
Also in the interview Loggains said that he knew when he took the job with the Browns that Haslam was very high on Manziel.
Loggains ended up working out 14 quarterbacks before the draft and when it was all said and done, Manziel was the top QB on their draft board.
“It was Manziel and then everybody else,” Loggains told Matthews.

Well this seems pretty badass. I hope it wasn't a group message to like 10 teams and the first to respond was us
-
I wonder how many teams he texted that to

If he was smart ALL of them. It's a business first, never forget that. Great attitude but doesn't mean a thing until he can prove it on Sundays.

So many people want to see Johnny fail,
they really do and I think it's hilarious when it's going to backfire in their face.
Deep down inside they know they love him, and will grow to love him.
Who wants Manziel to fail? He is a Brown now, and while a lot are worried that he will flop, I don't think any browns fan would want to see another wasted first round pick. I really hope I do end up loving Johnny, but he'll have to earn it.
-
I mean its generic enough where he may as well have just sent it to them all.
Who cares, he's a brown and hopefully he produces for us for many years.

Wow! Hardcore! Badass! Johnny Cleveland! Let's go! Super bowl! Best QB!

If you read the article, it says that Manziel and Loggains were texting back and forth when Manziel sent text about coming to get him. Doesn't sound like it was text sent to others besides Browns.

"Thats when Haslam made the decision that they were going to trade up to get Johnny Football"
Hopefully the reporter got this wrong, otherwise Haslam is a liar(shocker!) as he's said multiple times he was hands off and let Farmer do his job. Otherwise this move is Jerry Jones like, and that's scary...

The Cowboys admit they had Manziel as their #1 guy on their board, but they
decided to wait and picked another player.
Johnny Manziel had me not seeing his definite ability to have his skills
translate into Ohio weather.
But the Browns know he certainly can, and has the heart, love for the game, intelligence,
everything, to be the guy. And the story of his friendship with the young man is
icing on the cake of who he is as a person off the field. That friendship was real
about 2 years before anybody knew his name outside of the local folks. That's upper
tier classy.
I have no qualms now about JF. I'm a huge fan, now, and they nabbed him after getting
the top athletic cover corner in the entire draft.., that's smarter than brilliant, whatever the word is for that.
