Well, Im sure things will unfold during the coming week......One thing is for sure, if I was being publicly accused of all these things like being a massive drunk, missing practice and beating my girlfriend and literally being crushed nationwide, Id be saying something and fighting for my life and my career.....I mean really fighting for it....surely would not go quiet for weeks/months and just take it, thats for sure....most innocent people stand up and say it.....vehemently....

At this point I'm sure he's not going to say anything unless his lawyer advises it.
Though the TMZ statement : "I have great things coming ahead. I know I've been having fun, I just have to get my body right. I'm 100% committed to playing football" sounds like he's delusional.

The worst part of this is that we're likely going to still be on the hook for his 2016 salary.

At this point things are way out of control.....but he's had a long time and a lot of opportunities to step up and protect his image OR take responsibility for any of his mess......and has not done it .......

I wonder if the NFL will investigate this.
Not that we can be in trouble for "enabling", but falsifying an injury report.
Wouldn't the doctors that examined him have to be in on it too?
If he was drunk, just bench him again, and suspend him for a game ... I guess they were still trying to protect their #1 pick investment at that point, hoping he'd get clean in the offseason.
NFL could probably put the screws to Pettine and find out the truth now if they wanted too. And then dock the organization for something about lying about the injury. It never ends.

So what? A little hair of the dog so to speak.
-
sad. with the negative media, if they don't cover for him, they are throwing him under the bus.
but they did, trying to protect him from himself, and now they are complaining the Browns
covered for him.
Somehow, this media garbage has to stop. A playoff team might help.

So if it turns out that he is cleared of these charges, shouldn't that change everyones opinion? Because there's a big difference between these two incidents and TMZ party pictures.
Also as mentioned before before or after the assault with a deadly weapon, the butcher knife?

Texas' Castle laws are pretty strong...
of course she's a she...
and it was a knife not a gun...
I do know that anyone who pulls a butcher knife on m, male or female, is going to get a quick stunning shot to the ear, the knee or up the nose with a palm. All 3 cause at least a temporary disabling condition that allows me time to leave with no one getting stabbed.

So, if that is true, he really did show up drunk and Pettine took one final bullet for him.

Is that certain? Should we suspend without pay based upon these latest allegations, does that not pave the way to a dismissal without any further pay?

So if one of the Browns players ratted coach Pettine out by telling the ESPN hack the Johnny was actually drunk and the Browns lied I will assume that will bring down a load of shit on the organization. Any idea who the rat might be?
Who on the team would want to screw his teammates over like that?

Exactly....the Browns were the bad guys because they kept him on the bench and tried to discipline him.....and then the Browns were the bad guys by protecting and enabling him...cant have it both ways....
The biggest mistake the Browns made was to ignore the mountain of evidence available "before " the draft....So, by picking him, they sort of brought this on themselves...

Yes, Grossi reported it, and he asked Pettine about it ... and they flat out denied it.
Now a player reported it to a reporter at the Super Bowl and it's probably going to blow up.
Because as we all know ... it's not the crime, it's the cover up.
The Browns who were "so mean" to Johnny, disciplining him and benching him and asking him to be an adult ... are now probably ultimately be in trouble for covering up one of his last miscues.
As you say, Johnny was a lose/lose proposition for the organization. We look like horseshit no matter what we do.
Even the homeless guy that picked him has to be feeling some regret at this point.

Interestingly, the reporter is Mike Silver of the NFL Network ... owned by the NFL
You conspiracy theorists can have fun with that.
As far as the player ... Silver was at the SB and said he "talked to a Browns player yesterday" ... so, if by talking, he means face-to-face chat, you gotta look at the Browns who were there.
Dansby was there I believe. He likes to talk.
Not sure said player is a "rat", they may not have thought about the consequences to the Browns. Rat to Johnny though, yes.
I vote Dansby.

Yeah....dont have any idea who would "want" to hurt the Browns....but could specualte it's either a player who didnt realize how condemning this could be OR someone who already knows they wont be a Brown next season....

I remember the pressy clearly....and wasnt sure I believed it then, cause Grossi seemed pretty clear that he wouldnt report it if he wasnt sure....

BBedward posted the video above, looks like he is at SB. Mack would make a good rat since he has three paws out the door ... but that Dansby likes to talk ... and it was probably a defensive player, closer ranks with fellow offensive players.
All just speculation of course ... but what else is there to do in February?

So Zombo, you are going easy on the player who drops a dime on the Cleveland Browns?
That doesn't do Manziel any good and fucks with the team.
