    I feel guilty because that was a LOL moment.

    Ha!..I saw that....funny stuff.....should we start calling him JIF?

  • I felt bad for him. He is keeping out of the clubs and goes to a wrestling event and gets called out in a way (Johnny idiot face) the "rassler" didn't do with LBJ. I see no problem with JM going to baseball, basketball and wrestling events. The last time I went to see some rassling was at our county fair back in the 90's and took my son. I imagine the script never changes, the evil bad rassler totally insults the home crowd and then when he gets beat in the ring by another "good" rassler the hometwown fans go wild.

    The only thing I would fault Manziel for is if this part was scripted and he knew he was going to get called out. He should have told them no thanks. If he goes to these events he does not need to be the center of attention.

    Im sure it was all in fun and, like you said, just part of that wrestlers schtick and entertainment for the masses......dont see anything to worry about here......

    I agree Mudfly but wish with the the contrived insult would have been on the lines of something else as part of the schtick. Poor decision making has gotten Manziel into trouble and as he tries to break free from his past being called an idiot in front of thousands (probably millions more when the media runs with the story) is not the publicity that will help him.

    Nothing to worry about besides the fact that from this point forward until he proves otherwise he will be known as JIF.

    I see burnt toast jokes just around the corner....😉

  • For the other non-WWE followers...

    Aside: Long way from the Saturday morning broadcasts from channel 3's(?) old studio on Day Dive behind Parmatown featuring Johnny Powers (of leg lock fame) and Ernie "The Big Cat" Ladd.

    NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala covered the Browns' practice today and was asked "if there is any way Johnny could beat out McCown and be the starter on opening day" and she said:

    "MCown would have to fall flat on his face, trip, or break every single bone in his body. Josh McCown looked phenomenal today, he is repeatedly completing long passes, this is clearly his team, guys respond to him."

    "Johnny Manziel in one 11 on 11 series, I saw him fumble the snap 3 times. He's still not completing passes, he's still not looking particularly comfortable....... It's not happening, any time soon. I'm sorry, it's just not."

    seems like being called idiot face is the least of his probs.
  • Well, we finally heard from Johnny for the first time since last December....

    There were really no surprises....and also no disclosures.

    Just a lot of the exact same talk we've been hearing....working hard, keeping low, etc...

    I will say he sounded pretty resolute and firm that his private life is private...he wont discuss it....and he's tired of it being such a distraction....and is firm that he is doing everything in his power just to be a good teammate....learn to be a QB.....and eliminate the type of negativity he has brought to the organization...

    Sounds like he likes McCown too.....a lot less tension in the room with Josh and the lack of an open competition.....compared to last year, the pressures off, so to speak.

    One revelation????.......he has retired the money sign and we will NOT see it in the future....HA!

    We will see how it translates to the field.

  • I don't think it's the last we see of it - every time he gets sacked...

    Can't get sacked on the bench.

  • Here's a different cut... tad longer and skips his intro remarks.

  • First time since December, and hopefully last time until late August

    Could be right...i'm not convinced that McCown is the answer to us having a great season. Maybe he will be. I think the Johnny Manziel from A&M gives us the best chance to win. Not sure if we'll ever see that guy though.

  • Just a little side note. Texas A&M's other Heisman winner and one time Cleveland Browns assistant coach, John David Crow, passed away Wed. night at age 79. He was a 4 time Pro bowler and in the age of Jim Brown actually had two 1000 yard seasons as a pro halfback.
