    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.

    Spring football is still football. I cant stand baseball.

    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?

    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.  😆

    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.

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

    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.

    That's why it would seem the Mayfield comparisons are not accurate because Mayfield seems like a guy who is going to work hard and improve.   He could be more Wilson or Brees than Johnny dipstick.

    Or at least that what I'll be hoping we're getting if the Browns should draft him.  I hope we get a guy like Wilson who spends his career pissed off that teams doubted him and spends all his time working to prove them wrong.
