So his own Girlfriend thinks he's "POOP' LOL

This whole thing sounds a drunk moron got too close and someone in his posse roughed him up. Could have been handled better possibly but it doesn't really sound like Manziel had much of anything to do with it. I agree with Farmer but I'm not going to really feel differently about the dude.
edit: I guess I mean to say that I feel that the guy who was punched could easily be exaggerating how aggressive he was

An eager Cleveland Browns fan sparked a massive fight at The 9 when he approached Johnny Manziel and his "entourage" late Friday night, according to a police report obtained today by Scene.
Cleveland police were called to the apartment's lobby at 2:36 a.m. for a report of a "riot" involving 20 men and two security guards.
The alleged victim, 33-year-old Sandusky resident Chris Gonos, reported to police that he and his girlfriend spotted Manziel while waiting for an elevator at the high-end apartment complex, where many Cleveland professional athletes live, and professed his love to the rookie quarterback.
Gonos told police he pointed Manziel out to his girlfriend: "That's Johnny Manziel." Then he approached him.
According to the report, "at this time victim stated to the unidentified male, 'I'm the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug.'"
Gonos stepped towards Manziel and was promptly punched in the face, the alleged victim's account to police says, followed by a beat down by Manziel's crew, giving the man a "swollen lip, right eye swollen, red face." A security guard intervened and also was hurt.
Kenny Didier, general manager of The 9, told Scene "We have no comment on any of that."
We reached out to the Browns for comment and will update with the team's response.
UPDATE: Comments from the alleged victim, Chris Gonos, about the fight.
"Yeah, it actually all started through me. We had a room — it was my brother’s birthday — so we were staying at the Metropolitan at the 9. We partied there, and at the end of the night I was going back up to my room, and I noticed the guy. I was like, 'Man, that’s Johnny Manziel.' They were trying to keep it quiet, keep it low, and I was like 'Johnny Football!' I was just excited. But anyways, I went to give him like a handshake, or dap or whatever you want to call it, one of his buddies like tackled me. It was going down, a whole bunch of people started fighting. It ended pretty quick."
"I got a bruised hip and a bruised elbow, and somebody hit me in the back of the head, too. My brother saw what was going on and he ran he tackled Johhny Manziel — I guess he got the sack and the fumble. He tackled him, yeah, I’m talking about he speared him all the way to the back wall. I was cornered; I was by myself and Johnny Manziel and like three or four of his buddies were all coming at me. (My brother) just came to help me out, and I guess Johnny sucker punched him while the security guard was holding him. It should be all on video."
"No [one was arrested], like 20 officers came and I was sitting in the lobby because I did not do anything wrong but be a fan. All these cops run into the lobby, and they’re like, “Who was fighting, who was fighting?” and I just raised my hand, and was like, listen, watch the camera, and stuff like that. I may be guilty of being a fan, but that’s about it. I even showed them the guy that sucker punched me and the cops walked right up to him, talking to him for a while, and they let us all go. They just told me I had to leave the hotel, and me and my ride, we left. Manziel never punched me, but he got a sucker punch on my brother."
"I know somebody else in the group smashed Johnny right in the face. Smashed him, smashed him. I watched the whole game to see if we could spot him on the sidelines."
Update II:
STATEMENT FROM CLEVELAND BROWNS GENERAL MANAGER RAY FARMER:"We are aware of the incident and are in the process of gathering additional information in order to gain a complete understanding of what occurred. Nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning to us. We continually stress to all of our players the importance of sound decision making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations. We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time."
Update III:
Chris Gonos, the Browns fan in the middle of it all, pleaded guilty last year in federal court to charges of "conspiracy to structure financial transactions to evade filing currency transaction reports," theSandusky Register reported at the time.

OK:
A. One of JFF's bodyguard knocked him down when he approached Johnny....in an admitted somewhat aggressive manner?
B. Johnny never hit this guy.
C. His brother he says ran and tackle Johnny
D. Johnny hit his brother.....but he claims he sucker punched his brother? After his brother tackled Johnny? That doesn't sound like a sucker punch, it sounds like self defense.
-
Who cares!
This guy is a trouble maker since day one. Just look at RG3. These guys that aren't mentally prepared for the NFL will just flame out over time.
-
The hate for Johnny sounds more like jealous love. Ya'll really love JFF
-
What if he was our starter and got himself injured in a stupid fight? What kind of distraction would that be to the team? Its bad enough that he was involved in something like this as a backup. He's not ready to be a grown up. He's a 21 year old kid who wants to party. That's all fine if you are the average 21 year old college kid. He chose to leave college early to become a professional, how bout he act like it.
-
This was known about before the Team left for Atlanta.
So far sounds like Manziel wasn't really involved other than maybe defending himself, but he probably shouldn't have been out at that time of night right before leaving for a game.
More Team distractions we just don't need.

How is RG3 a trouble maker?
You have no idea what Johnny Manziel will do, he's yet to take a snap cornball

You know, I have to say, Tupac was really a pretty ugly guy.
-
Seems like Johnny's people have issues with fans
-
Already a thread on this
-
So in other words.. Johnny did absolutely nothing wrong
It was just reported the person who was "assaulted" has illegal substance abuse issues and was heavily drugged up at the time of the incident
-
Johnny was in the lobby of HIS OWN RESIDENCE when a drunk fan aggressively approached him at 2:30 a.m.
NON-STORY period.
-
Here is the "fan" that attacked him (read the comment from June 21)
-
I'm inclined to say that guy caused the issue.
The statement by manziels agent is a bit weird though, saying he got back from dinner with his mom (at 2:30am?) And wasn't with an entourage just his roommate. But said he reported it to the browns right away.
I have no doubt that guy was a drunk dickhead and caused the problems, but I'm sure johnny was drunk and shouldn't be out til 2am the day before a game
