Look if any of you guys seriously believe the money sign was a bigger motivation than the humiliation they took on their home field I say you're crazy. But the hatred runs so deep there's no point in arguing with you.

I'd say it's more like disgust. I don't know the boy personally, so it'd be unfair to say I hate him. and regardless of what motivated the Bengals, it's a fact that Manziel has absolutely no one to blame but himself for the bad image he already has (earned) and always will have unless he miraculously lights it up next year. But it would take NFL caliber talent to achieve that. And unlike you apparently, I'm not willing to bet my mortgage on that one.

@westside-steve said:

Oh horse shit. You take it seriously because you don't like the kid. What pumped the Bengals up is the fact that we fuck them in the ass in their own house.

It also cost the Cincinnati morons at least one penalty.

WSS

I think they'll trade one penalty for a very motivated 30-0 smack down of Johnny and the boys every day of the week. And yes, I take it very seriously. If you're gonna be flashing money signs, it might be a good idea to actually have a little bit of talent and stones to back it up.

@westside-steve said:

The money sign is absolutely meaningless.

Get over it.

WSS

Tell that to any and every player that ever takes the field against him. Kinda doubt they share your view of it. Nor should they.

For those that don't believe the NFL is rigged, please explain the following.....

Raiders vs Patriots, Tom Brady fumbles the ball and the NFL creates a new rule that's been used exactly twice in the NFL called the "Tuck Rule" to fuck over the Raiders.

We later find out the Patriots filmed the opposing teams SB preparations for that and each Championship "win." Nothing is done about it and the tape is destroyed.

The Patriots are busted with widespread cheating on a level never before caught by a pro sports League. They're given soft slaps on the wrist, the HC is told naughty naughty and Goodell turns the other way. Meanwhile a DC in NOLA tells his players to play Football and not be pussies and the HC gets banned from the NFL for a season.

The referees royally fuck the Ratbirds so the Pats can have their "perfect" season, a season riddled with endless questionable calls that were no more blatant than the MNF game with the Ratbirds wherein the Referees played their asses off against Balt. Especially at the end when they went all Special Olympics for Brady Queer and gave him 7 fucking downs to score a TD and win. At the end the WR bobbled the ball in his hands clear out of bounds and only touched one foot down in bounds without control of the ball, the Refs quickly called the game. Lewis, Suggs, Scott and others were heavily fined for openly speaking out against the corruption.

While we're discussing the AFC North....

The NFL isn't rigged yet the Stoolers were busted shipping hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of HGH and Designer Steroids from an underground drug ring to their Facility. It was swept under the rug and Dr. Richard Rydze, the Doctor having it shipped in, who was their team Dr for 20+ years quietly "resigned".... On paper.

Pitt vs Seattle, 'Nuff said. Well not quite, go back and watch the playoffs that year and the NFL handed them every possible break.

The season after Goodell went on his Rampage and disassembled a Bungles Team that was Championship caliber and young over any little infraction he could find. A new NFL trademark, certain teams rivels get harsher treatment than others.

Speaking of.... Dog Killer spilled some beans on that and was told to shut up. Goodell, per Dog Killer, called him and discouraged him from playing for numerous teams including Cin(Pitts rivals) and Buffalo(Pats rivals) and instead brokered a deal with the hometown team, the Eagles.... Then dropped his suspension to a slap on the wrist.

Kinda like how Big Jen rapes two women then gets tiny little slaps on his wrist.

Or the NFL turns a blind eye to James HGHarrison letting fighting dogs attack his kids in between beating his wife.

All the questionable calls, the impossible(Harbaugh vs a rookie Harbaugh) becoming not only possible but probable all points to the fact the NFL is heavily corrupt and the NFL does rig games and situations for certain teams.

Well, that certainly was well written and extremely entertaining. .............

Well if Johnny does great then I guess not all of your dreams will come true...

Flashing money signs before ever taking a snap in the NFL never worked out for anyone.

Thank you.

Johnny will be great. Browns will be great. It's one start. Not the end of the world.

Yep, and there WILL be peace in the Middle East. And pigs WILL someday fly. And I WILL hit the lottery and all my dreams WILL come true.

@tacosman said:

You can have as little patience as you want. I doubt Johnny cares either way.

Signed,

Mrs. Manziel

@bbedward said:

Still don't think it was necessarily a bad choice to put manziel in. He got flack for doing it he would have gotten flack for not doing it. He's gonna play it out but I think we'll be more hopeful on manziel if he shows improvement against Carolina, and even more improvement against Baltimore.

Don't hold yer breath.

@walterwhite said:

This was a 15 yard penalty just now in the 49ers-Seahawks game.

I said it in my earlier thread, it's steered towards a given outcome.

THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. "leading with the crown of the helmet"

Well, I wouldn't go as far as claiming the NFL is "rigged". But I do agree at the ridiculousness of the call. The exact same call was made against Jason Worilds of The Steelers against Atlanta last week. Text book hit / sack that was hard but clean as could be. The call came with an automatic first down. Atlanta went on to score a touchdown when they shouldn't of even had the ball.
