Jonathan Paul Manziel
-
hated the pick when the Browns drafted him and felt bad for Pettine and Hoyer who got saddled with him. However, I do hope that Johnny makes a turnaround and is able to play football again. I'm more angry at the Browns FO for drafting him with his known problems than angry at JFF for being JFF and don't hold a grudge against him, would be nice if he got his life back on track. Can't say the same for Ray Farmer, huge grudge there for setting the Browns back another few rebuilding years.

Yes because one dude acted like a brat, I must dislike all rich people? Haha Starting to think this must have really hit close to home.
Getting right with the public seems to be important to Manziel so don’t think for a second that this guy is out preaching the gospel on mental illness. If he plays his cards right, Manziel will get a try out with some teams. Pulling out the excuses for his behavior is a good start.
It's not hitting a nerve, just stop. The "nerve" it's hitting is that dismissing mental illness out of hand because of someone's past experience is an a-hole move by you. The way you're acting is the reason millions of people in the country are afraid to seek help in the first place.
I'd bet you 100 dollars Manziel never sees even a preseason snap in the NFL. He knows that, and if you had common sense you would too.

I'm just curious, but why do you feel this way?
I mean, what exactly did he do that warrants him NEVER getting another chance in the NFL? I'm not a fan of his, but is there something hanging over him that would make it so a NFL team couldn't give him a chance if they wanted to in the future?

Oh I wasn't sure what they you meant....CFL is real minor league compared to the GREAT AMERICAN GAME! (I still think NFL QBs are way overpriced.)
Like everyone else they all want to be "Coming to America" to make the real money.
....OH I JUST ACCIDENTALLY RAN INTO THIS, just FYI......
The Australian Football League has implemented a salary cap on its clubs since 1987, when Brisbane and West Coast were admitted, as part of its equalization policy designed to neutralize the ability of the richest and most successful clubs, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn, to perennially dominate the competition......
........The AFL Players Association negotiates for players with the AFL on the topic of average salary. In June 2017, the AFL and AFL Players Association agreed to a new CBA deal which resulted in a 20% increase in players salary. The six-year deal, which begins in 2017 and ends in 2022 means that the average player wage rises from $309,000 to $371,000 and the player salary cap from $10.37m to $12.45m. In 2022, the final year of the agreement, the average player wage will be $389,000 with a salary cap of $13.54m..........
I don't think they have Quarterbacks in Australian Rules football, do they? It is more akin to Rugby.

Not American style quarterbacks and yes it's very similar to other rugby style games. I just remembered long ago late nights I used to occasionally watch AFL I believe on ESPN, a lot of field goal type kicks for various points as I recall.
It's broadcast and bet all over the globe and has been around for a long time.
The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent professional competition in the sport of Australian rules football. Through the AFL Commission, the AFL also serves as the sport's governing body, and is responsible for controlling the laws of the game. The league was founded as the Victorian Football League (VFL) as a breakaway from the previous Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season commencing in 1897.
Oh I only knew one guy who actually played rugby, he was the manager of the Pizza Hut across the street from my old office he did say that had a hard time finding matches and played in Akron......and that was about 30+ years ago.

good for him. If this 3 page thread is any indication, he still has the ability to generate excitement/sense of morbid curiosity. Hope he gets back on track and can at least find a backup role on some NFL team.

Too much of a risk/reward scenario. On top of the fact he didn't look great in the time he did play, he's got all the baggage with him (to include a domestic violence piece) that would just never make him look desirable enough for a team to consider him. The guys with serious baggage but got another 2nd chance (Mick Vick, Greg Hardy, etc) were extremely good football players before their indiscretions.
To put it another way, if Colin K. can't find a job in the NFL because of his decisions, neither will Manziel. Owners are taking the extremely cautious approach to players nowadays for good reason. If Vick would have done what he did in 2017, he'd never have gotten a job again.

Starts March 28 in Austin. Might try to make that with my brother who will be in town. Maybe I can get him to sign my "Manziel" Browns T shirt that is still in it's plastic wrapper.

........."March 28 in Austin, TX -- and during the 2017 season, several NFL scouts attended games to check out some of the players.
Previous Spring League players include Greg Hardy and Kellen Winslow Jr.
Manziel issued a statement saying, "The Spring League has provided me with a great opportunity to play ball again, and ultimately, that is all I want to do."
"I miss the competition. I'd like to thank Brian Woods and The Spring League staff for this opportunity to play the game I love. I've made my share of mistakes, but I'm 25 years old and I know my best football is ahead of me."
The Spring League had previously made 2 conditions for Manziel to play -- nightly check-ins with a team staff member at 9:30 PM AND he must pass a USADA drug test on the first day of the league.
No word if those conditions still apply.
The League tells TMZ Sports, ".......THE Authority in Sports Reporting, hey maybe it's true.
And Boo, what's so bad about baseball? The only sport I know of you can fall asleep for an hour or so and not miss anything.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
About $40 for Gen. Admissions for each of 2 doubleheaders Sat. April 7 and 14 at the Circuit of the Americas Race Track near the airport.
About $340 for a VIP Field pass.

Make sure you bring a cooler of beer, and a bottle of that good central American Rum. Johnny will be by......

Too many games and baseball is slow and boring. Football has taken over as the # 1 sport in this country and for good reason.

They are trying like crazy to speed up baseball like the put the signal down and it's a four pitch walk, no pitches thrown......has to save what, 2 minutes. But hey I love baseball.....but I'm retired!
Now boringville, sock-her...... Zzzzzzzzzzzoooooooo.

There's more action in 5 minutes of a soccer game than 2 hours worth of baseball. Baseball? I'd rather watch curling at the Olympics if give a choice. I suppose I never warmed to it because growing up, the 60s Indians were consistently as bad as the recent vintage Browns.

I've watched World Cup, Olympic and rare other games mainly following the USA and find it frightfully boring.
Must be all the 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 games. Mainly just people standing around waiting for something to happen (like an outfielder in baseball?). Sorry looks like recess for big kids.
Once many years back, another sports board a guy was calling "it" 90 minutes of he11......really?
The next day I posted all the scores, no names, 0-0, 0-0, 1-0, 1-0, 1-1......and the rare 4-0 blowouts. Outside of the occasional goalie play it's kicking the ball back and forth. He had no 90 minutes of anything reply.
Just my humble opinion of course. I'd rather watch chess.

I like baseball because I played little league as a kid, and my dad would take us to Muni to watch the Indians. During the days of Rocky Colovito, etc. He used to take us to double headers, talk about a long day, especially if you lost both games.
