We made quite a few trips up through Ontario and Quebec and had more than one run-in with the opp or the Border agents. One trip we had no actual truck, just three Maxi vans 2 Dodge and 1 Ford. One of the Dodge vans had no brakes so it stayed in the center of the Caravan behind the Ford. If there was anything like an emergency the Ford would slow down and the Dodge would but up against the butt and so the Ford could stop us both.

Well back in the day I had to log every piece of equipment we are bringing up every amplifier guitar cable drum heads sticks PA cabinets etc etc. They never strip-searched us but they went through the truck on a couple of occasions.
They were afraid we are bringing American the equipment over to sell.

Saskatchewan? Kind of like flunking out of kindergarten for a former third pick in the NFL Draft.
Oh what happens when you can oy do one thing in life:
...... Cleveland took Richardson third overall in 2012 and then traded him to the Colts for a first-round pick in September 2013. He was waived by the Colts in March 2015 and had short stints with the Raiders and Ravens that ended the same way before heading to Canada.....
Sad or just dumb?

Overrated talent. That's all. I suspect he was a product of the Alabama HGH system. Once he could not be supported by that....he turned out to be nothing much at all. Not sure if that is sad, dumb, or appropriate.

Well he will go down on another list now......"Greatest First Round Draft Busts of All Time".
I think as RB he did get knicked up, a hazard of drafting a RB so high, now we get to watch Mr. Barkley and see how he progresses.

Just saw an interview with Manziel regarding his new CFL team. I find myself feeling sorry for the guy, and I see someone running from his past who will never be able to run fast enough. I'm very connected to mental illness, both professionally and personally, and I know what it takes from people. I would love nothing more than to see Johnny be successful.
After the video played on YouTube, it went into an interview with Joe Thomas talking about Manziel, and Joe was very kind and professional, but it basically made me tear up all over again. I almost can't believe he's gone, especially NOW...now that we actually have a real team. I'm not saying we're going to the darn playoffs, but we actually have a legit team and Joe is gone. The ONE constant we've had in our miserable last 10 years or so. Joe Thomas, my favorite Cleveland Brown. A man who deserved so much more and literally never got it.
I knew when I saw him rolling around on the ground holding his arm that it was over. I knew it was either a bicep or tricep injury, and that was it because he wouldn't be able to work out and keep his mass. Sure enough, 6 months later, still debating on whether or not he was returning, I saw an interview with him and he looked like he was 245 pounds. Can't come back from that. It doesn't seem right.

Sounds like a place where Johnny would fit right in....

Johnny is in a completely new league and it's very different. I won't pretend to know the nuances, but I do know it will require massive work and dedication on his part. Mostly film and play book studying, which aren't his strong suits. I could be way wrong here, but CFL passing is generally based on quick attacks, right? Getting the ball out hot and accurately? I shouldn't pretend to know what I'm talking about (although it never stopped me before), but Johnny certainly has his work cut out for him. Alas, I'm sure I'll be looking for highlights should he somehow win the starting job.

Just for the hell of it the average salary in the CFL is 80 grand, rookie salary is 50 K.
Just for comparison Matt Ryan salary is more than the entire combined salary of the Canadian Football League.
But if the kid buckles down and tears it up who knows he might get repatriated.

Did Manziel screw the Browns over? Absolutely, 100%. But it's a two way street. The Browns grossly failed in doing due diligence on the guy before they drafted him, or totally ignored the red flags. He ran out of strikes with the Browns, but hell, guys get fired from their jobs every day for being drunks. That doesn't mean guys can't turn their lives around IF they overcome their addictions.
Johnny has gone the equivalent of being a top computer programmer to a greeter at Wal-Mart. If he wants to climb the job scale again, that's up to him.

Well maybe eventually.......
"I've been pleasantly surprised the last three weeks what a good teammate he is, how smart he is, how he sees the game,'' Jones told ESPN.com. "He should be playing in the National Football League, and I believe he will when he gets through with us.'........

USA TODAY Sports' Lorenzo Reyes discusses Johnny Manziel's roller-coaster football career and his opportunity with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.USA TODAY SPORTS
Johnny Manziel has been traded by the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Montreal Alouettes.
The Tiger-Cats and Alouettes announced Sunday the multi-player deal that included the 2012 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback.
Johnny Manziel was a backup for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in what is his first season in the CFL.DEREK LEUNG, GETTY IMAGESStuck behind incumbent quarterback Jeremiah Masoli on the Tiger-Cats' depth chart, Manziel was relegated to backup duty in his first season in the CFL. In Montreal, however, Manziel will be reunited with coach Mike Sherman, whose final season at Texas A&M was also Manziel's redshirt season in 2011. Sherman is in his first season with the Alouettes.
The Alouettes are off to a 1-4 start this season and have scored the fewest number of points (69) while allowing a league-high 148 points.
The other quarterbacks on the Alouettes' roster include Vernon Adams Jr., Drew Willy, Jeff Mathews and Matthew Shiltz. Adams was recently signed by the Alouettes. Adams — who played collegiately at Oregon and Eastern Washington — started his CFL career in Montreal before joining the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2017. Willy was forced to leave the Alouettes' latest game — a 25-8 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday — with a hand injury. Mathews is out with a foot injury. Shiltz, the third-string QB, Shiltz played the final three quarters against the Stampeders.
