Because you'll stand a little taller. I will hear no more of it james i am six feet tall you can go fuck yourself i don't even believe you're 5'8 like you claim so no you don't get to even you you try to pull 5'9 off and it's hilarious i know but six foot for this dmv did it yeah jimmy wore fucking high heeled cowboy boots that day and he's like i don't know why the dmv said i'm five nine

he said i'm five nine like i'm not no i've never written that in my entire life he had prince heels on he was wearing a pair of prince's purple cowboy boots with three and shields this little motherfucker holy shit it's so funny six feet tall your ass i can't get enough of it he's i'm seven feet tall there i'm seven feet tall everybody evidently if you're over a foot then you're the next one all right just say i'm like six eight i'm a six foot eight power forward don't worry about it it's happening i can't believe he did that wow that's the team it's not even him yeah and uh he's born december 6th 1992 he's 30 holy shit he's fucked up more than 60 year olds we've talked about he's 30 wow Holy shit. He's fucked up more than 60-year-olds we've talked about. He's 30.

Wow. He really burned, I don't want to say bright. He burned dull and bright, I'd say. It's a dull brightness. That's for sure. Jesus Christ. Out of his ass, certainly, I would say. He was certainly, something was coming out of his ass.

My God. He's born in Tyler, Texas. He went to school in Tivy or TV or I don't care. Don't tweet us about how to pronounce some tiny town in Texas. Tivy. T-I-V-Y. That could be anything. Literally.

They could say that any fucking way they want. Yeah. So his childhood here, his parents are Michelle and Paul. And man, his dad has some choice comments about him later that are hilarious. Oh, my God. Paul's had enough? choice comments about him later that are really hilarious oh my god enough oh man does paul had enough of johnny shit by 2016 he is done with him and it's hilarious so he also he has a younger sister so he's the oldest really he strikes me as a youngest doesn't he he strikes me as like parents had like four kids and then he's like 12 years younger than all of them.

You know what I mean? That's he's the baby. He will look past everything he does because he's the baby. And we're older and I don't have the energy to keep up with him. So if he's out running around, I don't know. I'm tired. That's how it is. He has a younger sister, though, named Mary.

And me are I like sister wives lady. His family is the story here because he's a rich kid. Johnny's a rich kid. There's a reason why Johnny has a don't give a fuck attitude. It's because he's got a trust fund as fucking big as his offensive lineman. Yeah, he's got a giant trust fund. Oh, super fuck this guy then. fucking big as his offensive lineman yeah he's got a giant trust fund this guy then he's a he's a i don't know i don't know for sure that he has a giant trust fund but he's from a very wealthy

fan oil family so i'm assuming he's probably got a trust fund or he feels like he's got something to fall back on that has nothing to do with yeah you know his own acumen at anything so um he leans on this doesn't matter who cares yeah i'm a fucking rich kid that's it i mean it's it's good to feel cool that everybody loves you and shit but besides that his great great grandfather on his father's side well his name was joseph he came to the united states in 1907 from lebanon okay and settled in louisiana he's half half Lebanese and half Italian, I believe. His mother's Italian. His father is from Lebanese descent here.

His great-grandfather, Bobby Joe Manziel, he moved to Louisiana and he was like, we'll name our kid Bobby Joe so we fit in. He was a boxer, actually, a bantamweight boxer who was friends with Jack Dempsey, the legendary heavyweight champion he tells he told stories about how people would try to challenge jack dempsey all the time back in the day they'd come up they'd come up to him you're not so tough and then jack dempsey would fucking knock them through a wall yeah that's here's the difference between toughest guy in

your town and heavyweight champion of the world let me show you quickly let me show you something everyone i fight hasn't had eight beers in them first that's number one so and they all expected this and yeah yeah so um manziel retired from boxing this is his great-grandfather and moved to east texas in the 1930s now i'm telling you this for a reason because uh this is how johnny became johnny this is all part of the story he tried he moved there in the 30s to try his luck in the oil fields as a wildcatter so what is that that's how wildcatter someone who looks for yeah just drip fucking random drill boom let's try to drill that hole and if something pops up, it's gambling.

That's it. Jerry Jones has the cowboys because of wildcatting. That's a fact. He's a wildcatter, too. But you have to have some money to be a wildcatter anyway because you don't go out there with a fucking hand drill. You have to have equipment and stuff. Me and you couldn't start drilling for oil right now

if we wanted to. No matter how badly we put elbow grease in it, it wouldn't work. Yeah, I don't think we could dig that far. So when he was almost broke, great-grandpa Manziel asked Jack Dempsey for $400 so he could drill for oil on the grounds of a Baptist church. And he hit a gusher.. And he hit a gusher. Wow. He hit a gusher. Great Grandpa Manziel hit a gusher.

And Jack Dempsey is involved in this too. This is how Jack Dempsey was very wealthy for the rest of his life was because of this. Is that right? He made a lot of money in boxing, but still, that doesn't last your whole life back then. You didn't make $100 million. You need oil money. This was part of it. Jack Dempsey said that that $400 gamble was the smartest investment he ever made in his whole life.

Sure. Bobby Joe Manziel settled down in Tyler, Texas. And the Manziel family has been very well known and very famous in this corner of Texas way before Johnny Manziel. That's the thing. They would rather he never existed because he is now an embarrassment to this upstanding family. Literally. It's absolutely the way it is. He went on to discover his great grandfather nine more oil fields.

He discovered nine. So think about how much money he's making. That's crazy. Name them after his children, which is interesting. The treasurer and office manager of the Smith County Historical Society in Tyler said,

it's a fascinating family. There are probably more legends about the Manzels than there are actual things in writing. Wow. So that's the kind of family he comes from so that's right away you have to understand who he is and he he's the guy that everybody knows their family everybody knows that they're super wealthy johnny can do whatever he wants teachers know who his family is when he's in school. They treat him accordingly. It all ties into this shit of somebody not feeling responsible for their life at all. Now, there were some issues here. His parents decided to move the family to Kerrville when he was in seventh grade.

This is ridiculous, by the way. From people who come from families who aren't – there's no legend attached to the family name. It's just there's some trash people and some nice people. There's a lot of trash back here. So his parents moved him to protect him and his younger sister because a federal grand jury had indicted a relative of theirs for drug offenses in 2002. Is that right? And his grandfather was charged with DUI and evading arrest. So they said, this is so embarrassing here.

We got to move. And a San Antonio defense lawyer said that there was a bribery charge against Manziel's grandfather. He says it was a result of overzealous authorities who based their case on an unreliable snitch. Because authorities are known to really, really pick on wealthy people who can fuck with them. They don't go out of their way to make sure that that shit's right. If you fuck with someone powerful, you know we better be right. You know what I mean? You don't.

You come with the king, you best not miss, as Omar once said. And I feel like that's what it is. But that's the type of family he comes from. He tries to bribe somebody and blames it on them. That's how this family works. So Johnny is an athlete from the start. Very good athlete from the start yeah very good athlete from the start even at two years old he was uh he was bashing fisher price golf balls over the neighbors over into the neighbor's

you know yard over fences and shit yeah he was like crushing shit he's a very good golfer by the way he shoots in the mid 70s at his country club there in tyler That's pretty goddamn low here. Not pretty impressive. His uncle said Johnny's hand high hand eye coordination was mind boggling. They said when he was nine in Little League he crushed. He's a good baseball player too. He was crushing so many home runs that the Little League coaches erected a taller fence like a big green monster. Holy shit.

And he just fucking bashed it over that, too. Tried to handicap him, and he still beat him. He still beat, yeah. First ball broke a woman's bathroom window. He just hit it higher. One of his Little League coaches said, Johnny was a little guy, but he had big hands, and his feet were as big as the Little League rubber

on the pitcher's mound. He said at age 11 he wore size 12 shoes. He was always forgetting his cleats and we'd have to drive to Walmart to get him a new pair. And they probably thought, oh boy, like a dog he's going to grow into these. But instead he's just a hobbit. He's just got weird feet. Yeah, just a tiny guy with giant feet. By the way, imagine if you forgot your cleats

going to a a sporting event at school you'd be playing in sneakers you wouldn't who's buying whatever you're that's what you're playing in that's what you're playing i don't care if they're wingtips yeah i don't care if they're wingtips no one's going you're gonna go buy new ones no no you will play those are your cle are your cleats that's your fault yeah that's your problem yeah martin so that's again just there's no consequences for him even for something small like that uh his coach said the thing about johnny was that he was just so intense he'd get so mad at himself if he failed at something and he was just so aggressive we'd have to calm him down sometimes but it always showed how badly he wanted to succeed and beat the guy standing in front of him.

So you could take it that way or you could say he's an asshole. But in sports, if you harness that, that could be good. Yeah. In the competitive side, but he's still that also lends to a sore loser. And that's not good either. Yeah. Yeah. lends to a sore loser and that's not good either yeah yeah well i mean i've heard this about a lot of like high level elite professional athletes when they were kids they were a nightmare they

would if they lost it all they'd break shit and run away and they're not good at it i don't know what it is not good at losing yeah so um in uh he he plays football baseball baseball, basketball, golf. He does everything growing up here. He focuses in high school. He focuses on baseball and football. And they said that he achieved folk hero status in football, though. That was his, you know, he was incredible. I do remember that, hearing about him in high school. Yes, yes.

They made a big deal out of him big deal broadcasters were talking about him from the beginning yep absolutely like man if he puts a couple more inches on he's gonna be something if he gets another growth spurt this kid's gonna be incredible if he can ever see off of the offensive line imagine the talent that's gonna come out if he stops drilling his left and right guards in the ass with the football. That'd be great. Yeah. So he's an infielder. He's like a shortstop in baseball. And he skips, though.

He plays baseball through his junior year, doesn't play his senior year in baseball because he wants to graduate early and focus on going to Texas A&M early. And, quote, preparing for his freshman football season, which is also wanted to get out there and party, I'm sure, was part of it. Yeah. He also – Scouting that gash. Yeah, I'm going to go scout some gash quick. I'll be back.

I'm going to go on a little broad scout. Texas broads. They got a lot of good ones down there. I don't blame them, but look, man on a little broad scout. Texas broads. They got a lot of good ones down there. I don't blame them. But look, man, you got to get your books in order, too. No shit. He thought, by the way, briefly about going to Texas A&M and playing baseball and football. But he changed his mind here.

Now, he's got, like I said, money. There's privately held companies owned by the manziel family uh but the so we don't know how much money they're making but the estate of dorothy manziel who's bobby joe the guy the boxer who found all the oil wells his widow um was appraised at 3.9 million in 2005 after she died so they said that's probably less than the actual value because people do discounts for estate tax purposes. So they probably undervalued a lot of things here. And so, yeah, we don't know exactly what else, though. She put in trusts and all that kind of shit. That was just what she had sitting there. So in he plays all four years of high school

football, even was on the freshman, even was on as a freshman. He started this freshman year on the freshman team, but by the end of the year, he was playing receiver on the varsity team. Is that right? And sophomore, he started out as a receiver also, but then switched to quarterback in the fourth game. And he was a really good runner in college and high school when you know all the guys aren't 260 pounds and running for 640s you can run when you're 511 or whatever running around but you can't do that in the nfl you'll get murdered that's just he tried doesn't work i think i think kyler murray's been learning that the last couple

years i think kyler murray's career might be over because of that. That's what I mean. Unless you're a pocket passer, if you were going to be a runaround guy, you better be pretty goddamn big to be able to put up with that beating you're going to take. And the one that's going to ruin him, he didn't even get hit. That's crazy, too. Didn't even get shot. Yeah, there's that, too.

Not a finger on him. It just get shot. Yeah, there's that, too. Yeah, his body just. Not a finger on him. It just blew up. Yeah, no shit. So as a quarterback for the rest of that year, he finished with 1,164 yards passing, 806 yards rushing, and 408 yards receiving that year. Not bad. That's impressive. And had a combined 28 touchdowns. Oh.

Jesus. His junior year, he starts at quarterback, 2,903 yards passing, 1,544 rushing yards. Oh, my. 152 receiving yards and 55 combined touchdowns. What about 5,000 yards this kid puts up? Junior year. Yeah, he's putting up a lot of yards from scrimmage. He's just killing it.

Wow. Junior. He was voted All-San Antonio Area Offensive Player of the Year, as well as District 27 4A MVP. Whatever that means. Sounds impressive. Whatever the shit that means. Yeah, I don't know what that means.

So when he's a senior, though, he's really killing it. He's a senior. This is in 12 games. It's fucking crazy. 3,559 yards passing. 44 touchdowns, five picks. Oh, shit. Three yards a game.

Four touchdowns a game and doesn't even throw a pick but one every two games every other game yeah well he's gunning touchdowns all over the place oh he also ran that year as well uh what's his rushing average or is his rushing here oh i don't have his rushing okay thought i had his rushing yards as well he was running like crazy too though he was killing it so uh he is during his senior season he uh jesus christ he had a combined he had touchdown reception also returned to kickoff for a touchdown why not uh oh there we go 1674 yards and 170 carries he's responsible is is hall of fame worthy for the high school in the first place. And then he's got the other one to back it up. 77 combined touchdowns that year, passing and running.

Holy shit. 77 in 12 games. That's crazy. He's like five touchdowns a game he's good for. That's wild. Now I understand the hype. Why he was a big deal. Yeah.

Yeah. All offensive player of everything and the, you know, Texas Associated Press sports editors, Texas player of the year. Number one quarterback in Texas by Dave Campbell's Texas football report and all the super prep this and all this bullshit here. For his years as a starter, he was 520 for 819, 63.5%, 7,626 yards passing for 76 touchdowns, 531 rushes for 4,045 yards, 77 touchdowns. Wow. And caught 30 passes for 582 yards as well. And it's obviously the record. And it still stands, right?

There's no way anybody has beat that. That's crazy. Who the hell knows? He was the only quarterback in America named as a Parade All-American in his senior year, and he was also named the High School National Coaches Association Senior Athlete of the Year, and of course

Mr. Texas Football in 2010. Of course. He is recruited by Texas A&M, Baylor, Colorado State, Iowa State, Louisiana Tech, Oregon Rice, Stanford, Tulsa, Wyoming. Can you imagine Stanford where if he had to work actually? Holy shit. That wouldn't

end well. The University of Texas did not recruit him. Really? Yeah. It was rumored that they wanted him as a defensive back, but even the coach said no, not interested in him as a defensive back. He commits to play for Oregon at first,

but then changes his mind and switches to Texas A&M. He wants to go there, so he changes his commitment to there. The quarterback's coach gets him to do that. And, yeah, so he, Jesus Christ, his, what is this? Oh, his 40, he's won a 4-7-40. That's not great, but he's in high school. So that's not too bad. All sorts of, Jesus, his awards are ridiculous.

I could give you all of them. It would take all day, and who cares? It's lots. Yeah, absolutely. so he ends up in College Station there and over there so he's in College Station and right away 2012 I mean he is he just gets there it's June 29th

2012 and he's a freshman him and he's hasn't even started yet it's June June 29th 2012 and uh he's a freshman him and uh he's it's class it hasn't even started yet it's june no june 29th this is what he went to prepare for remember he was preparing early for this yeah well yeah he got there early one night uh june 29th 2012 at 2 10 a.m he was there awfully early sure i think he was up up early doing road work? Prepping for the day, James. Prepping for the day, yeah. He's been up for two hours already. Yeah, he's been up watching film.

That's what he's been doing. He's been up watching film. He gets in a fight with a 47-year-old man named Marvin McKinney. A 47-year-old at 2 a.m., yeah. At 2 a.m. a 47 year old at 2 a.m yeah at 2 a.m apparently uh manziel attempted to break up a fight after a friend of his allegedly pointed and shouted a racial slur at mckinney who was a black guy by the way um it's apparently johnny manziel's friend shouted a racial slur at this guy this man retaliated by trying to fight him and johnny tried to

was apparently trying to break it up uh here's an eyewitness here an independent eyewitness named christopher moody this is his official police report fucking statement here quote uh moody said that when marvin approached the two males that's the 47 year old he began to get close to steven who had called him the vulgar word i think we know what that word is what it know what it is. Yep. Manziel stepped in between Stephen and Marvin and told Marvin that Stephen had not meant to say the word and that he was going to take him home. So Johnny's like, I'll get him out of here. Don't worry.

It was an accident. It was an accident. He was just telling the African geography and doesn't know how to pronounce Niger. He said Kenya, Ghana. Yeah, that's what we do at 2 a.m. We're preparing for the upcoming school year. This is what we do. He gets drunk and doesn't understand double consonants mean he doesn't get it. So he thought that's a desperate man's as a desperate desperate man's attempt to cover it up.

He didn't mean it. He didn't mean to say that word. So Moody said that Marvin continued to push against Manziel and that Manziel shoved Marvin in the chest. Marvin then swung at Manziel, who charged Marvin and began punching Marvin back. So this is just when we always say if you're out at two in the morning, whatever happens is your fault. Yep. Even if you get nothing, you could be walking out at two in the morning.

Somebody bops you on top of the head, steals your wallet. It's your fault. You know what happens after two in the morning? Nothing fucking good. Why weren't you in your house? Nothing good. Yep. Nothing good happens.

That's why. So. Taylor Swift is soaring high, her every move captured in the news cycle and devoured by her devoted fans.

Man, in the police report, it's stated by the reporting officer that he could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath as well and clothing. And that his eyes were red, bloodshot, and glassy,

and speech was slurred when he spoke. So, you know, he's 19, by the way. Sounds like underage drinking. Right, yeah. Sounds like he's getting ready for a football season. That's what that sounds like. Sounds like he's doing things that he shouldn't be doing. He's out two in the morning drinking and fighting. So, yeah, not great.

Defending his racist friend's honor like what why are you doing that he didn't mean to do that yeah he could have probably spun the situation hey motherfucker you know what i'm taking him outside showing him i'm gonna teach him a lesson and get outside and go what the fuck are you doing dude let's go before that guy comes out and kicks your ass yeah well i'm not gonna defend you though you just go you know what dude this is on your own stand and stand next to marvin to be like you know what marvin you're right i'm just out of it at that point if we're somewhere and you for some reason called somebody a drop in the n-word on somebody i'm gonna go i don't know that you apparently have a beef that i don't know about we didn't leave the house going let's let's do this so you're on your own now you know what i mean you want to i thought we i thought we i thought this was something we didn't have to discuss and yeah i just figured i just figured it wasn't happening

but hey i fucking you learn something new every day now johnny compounds his stupidity oh god by when the police officer shows up he shows them a fake louisiana driver's license why would you do that johnny why would you give a cop a fake fucking id this isn't a bouncer at the bar near college this is a a fucking cop. You can't do that. And this is a terrible reason to stay in your home state to go to college and a great example of why not to. Because they know who you are, sir. They know who you are. They know you're the guy coming in. And when questioned on his date of birth, because the cop goes, well, what year were you born if this is your real license?

He alternated between 1990 and 1992 oops a daisy 1990 was the correct answer by the way johnny that was the one you fucked up so he said 92 and then realized oh shit that makes me too young to drink yeah that's my real age that's why i have this fake license because that doesn't work 92 is the whole reason i did this jesus he went to his friend and said call this cop the n-word so we can get some distraction i need some cover here jesus christ say something stupid you don't understand so my age is irrelevant he said the n-word can we all go home except for him you you they, they discuss it. So then the officer said, well, let me look through your wallet.

And he found two other licenses. Both were Texas licenses. One was fake and the other was real. So he had two fake IDs from two different states and a real ID in there. So he is charged with three misdemeanors here. Disorderly conduct, failure to identify, and possession of a fictitious driver's license, none of which you're allowed to do. I'm shocked that Texas doesn't have some steep-ass penalty for lying to a police officer. Yeah, like being hung in the street or hanged in the street or something. Drug behind a horse or something.

Shot by the Rangersangers just in firing squad something um yeah they also johnny manziel is not allowed to talk to the press at all because texas a and m has a policy against freshmen doing interviews oh so not allowed so um which is interesting he said this in a tweet that was deleted, um, here, a college, a Chris Ricks,

a college football and NFL analyst for spots, a Fox sports radio, and used to be a FSU quarterback as well. He said, quote, sources have told me that Manziel is a quote, ticking time bomb and will eventually blow up off the field. I really hope not for his sake.

As a freshman, this was put out. A freshman. Fuck, that's good. Hashtag Johnny Football, by the way, it says. He also says, I wish the best for this kid. So those were deleted after that. So he said, yeah, once later on he'll tweet, as for now he's blowing up on the field.

Stay humble, Johnny, stay humble, because he has a very good freshman year, as we'll talk about here. On the field, he's great for Texas here. He was briefly suspended by Texas A&M following this arrest, but the decision was overturned on appeal during fall camp. So, shocking, isn't it? Yeah. Texas A&M goes 11-2 that year year which is pretty fucking good here johnny though 13 games he's 295 for 434 for a 68 completion percentage great 3706 yards 26 touchdowns nine picks a monster fucking year monster year 2012 ap player of the year consensus all america davy o'brien award manning award 2012 sec offensive player of the year and he is the only freshman in history to

ever win the heisman trophy because he does that right as a freshman so johnny has a heisman johnny is the fuck he's got a Heisman no one else got. Guy coming in as a true freshman and winning a fucking Heisman. That's crazy. Especially a quarterback. Quarterback usually takes some time to develop those skills, you know, and nope. Really good. They go to the Cotton Bowl as well, and they beat the Oklahoma Sooners,ers and he is just on top of it on top of the

world he has a great game such a great game that the next day after the bowl game what'd you do johnny he posts an instagram photo of himself with a giant fistful of cash yeah and it's it says casino ball' on it because he said he went to the casino. He deleted the photo, but then later on he tweeted, nothing illegal about being 18 plus in a casino and winning money. Keep hating, all capital letters.

Don't worry, we will, Johnny. Don't worry. Forever. Forever and ever. Everyone except Skip Bayless will continue to hate you. We'll get to that. Skip Bayless said he is the next Brett Favre. He's the next this.

Oh, for fucking months. Even after he was fucking up. Nope, Johnny Football is the real deal. He's going to be the next so-and-so. While an incredulous dipshit Stephen A. Smith sat across from him going, Are you kidding me, Skip? Are you kidding me? And they go back and forth.

And it's like, wow, somehow, Skip, you always sound like the dumber one. Even when you're in a conversation with Stephen A. Smith, you're the dumber one, which is saying something. That's him just being a homer for Texas, right? Yeah, it's a homer for Texas. That's all that is. Unless it's Troy Aikman, and then he'll write in his book that Troy Aikman's gay, even though he has no proof of that.

So it depends. You know what it is? It's for when Skip wants to be a cunt is what it is. That's it. It's Skip's a cunt and he says cunty things to show his cuntitude. That's all it is. Yeah. Just to be a contrarian.

Yeah. Here's a take nobody else has because it's stupid. That'll get some clicks, won't it? People will watch that. Here's a take nobody else has because it's stupid that'll get some clicks won't it people watch that here's a take nobody because it's idiotic because it's here's a take nobody has because it's wrong yeah because it's dumb here we go this five foot eleven dipshit who cares more about fucking instagram and the casino he's gonna be the next brett farve and fucking dan marino and he named off all these quarterbacks that he thought he could be because he's got a certain swagger fuck out of here skip he's five seven oh god i should have gathered all

of skip's pro johnny quotes but it would have that would have been half the show. Half the goddamn show. So, yeah, they said that criticism came, and the Texas A&M president said that it's undeserved criticism. He said, Johnny's part of a family that has resources. People criticize him for showing up at NBA games and flying in private aircraft occasionally, but it's all being done because his family can afford to do that. He's saying he's not taking money from boosters or anything like that. That's not what this is about. He's just a rich kid. He said most football players don't come from that kind of family.

Most I know anyway. They don't have spare money to throw around on these kind of things, but Johnny does. He does. 2013, a higher percentage, 69.9%, which you know he was like, hey, he was walking up to chicks and bars going, want to know my completion percentage? 4,114 yards that year, 37 touchdowns, 13 picks. So crushing it. Team goes 9-4.

He's the SEC Male Athlete of the Year and also the offensive MVP of the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Oh, didn't know they had one. Which was certainly not played on Sunday, I would think. No, it wasn't. He crushed it. He's doing insane. So 2000, what a fucking lunatic.

So here's something. June 19th, Wednesday, June 19th, 2013. He is angry about a parking ticket, and he sent out a tweet about it, about a parking ticket. He was really pissed off that he couldn't wait to leave College Station and was in a rage over a parking ticket. What is it, $12? Well, I guess he said he was on a fishing trip and his vehicle was in College Station and it was parked for being the wrong way in front of his house and having his windows tinted too dark. So those are both. Those are both legal tickets.

Yeah. Yeah. Those are tickets you get sometimes. So he said he was mad about his ticket and he tweeted some angry shit about it. He tweeted some angry shit about it. July 2013 here, Johnny pleads guilty to failing to identify himself after the fight with the guy in the bar there. He is ordered to pay the maximum fine of $2,000. Oh, shit. Yeah, and spend two days in jail and pay $232 in court costs as a part of a plea agreement.

That's sweet, man. He actually won't actually have he actually won't have to spend any time in jail because he was jailed following his arrest and they considered that time served the 10 minutes it took him to get sprung from jail but still that's consequences that are steep with a two thousand dollar fine that's pretty too jesus man he faced 180 days in jail that was the maximum for it so from that to nothing isn't bad there. They that would then they ended up dismissing the misdemeanor for fake driver's license and the disorderly conduct as well. He is also there's a problem at the Manning camp, the camp that they go to there, the Archie Manning camp.

You know, they send the quarterbacks to he got sent home from it because he missed assigned meetings and practice sessions uh he said due to illness so um archie manning sent him home though which is hilarious yeah brown bottle flu is not a fucking sickness sir that's uh i just love archie manning going you know what i do know a little something about raising quarterbacks, and you are an asshole. You know. My guys have some rings between them. I don't know what your deal is. Yeah. My nutsack produces

these, and you are not one. Yeah. My, like, the second one who looks like a goober beat Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl. You understand that? That's how good I am. He's a fucking goober. That's what this comes from. And the other one with the much too tall forehead beat

Tom Brady to get his two rings. So go home. No shit. The statement from the camp was Johnny Manziel did participate in some activities in the 2013 Manning Passing Academy as a college counselor slash coach.

After missing and being late for practice assignments, Johnny explained that he'd been feeling ill. Consequently, we agreed that it was in everyone's best interest for him to go home a day early. Peyton Manning said at the time, quote, I really enjoyed meeting Johnny. I can remember a 20-year-old Eli Manning missing a meeting and catching some flack. We always have counselors who leave early. Johnny was a great fit with the campers for the time he was here. He had to leave early.

I wish him the best, and I want him to come back as a counselor next year. Payton didn't say, I mean, I've missed a meeting before and caught some flack. He said, Eli's a dipshit. He just said, I remember my dipshit little brother missing meetings. He couldn't even say himself. What a dick. That's pretty funny. I like that he tried to put a positive spin on this guy couldn't last one more day.

He had to go home a day early. A day early? A day. That is scummy. Jesus Christ. August 28, 2013, he receives a half-game penalty. He's benched for half a game. The first half of the season opener against Rice, which is Rice.

That's not a real big powerhouse here. And they said there's a statement. It's because of some autograph signing discrepancies. Yeah, I remember this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was charging and they didn't like that. Texas A&M and the NCAA announced in a joint statement that there was no evidence that he received payment for signing autographs. The rule says student athletes cannot permit their names or likenesses to be used for commercial purposes.

That was before they changed the rule, obviously. likenesses to be used for commercial purposes that was before they changed the rule obviously including to advertise recommend or promote sales of commercial products or accept payment for the use of their names or likenesses so this is when the douchiest celebration of all time was born because now from here on forward every time he throws a touchdown he fucking in the air signs he does the money sign a little and that too but money signs his name too like a little cunt the money sign one's the big one though that makes people want to fucking clothesline him yeah i mean a rich kid making money sign yeah your great grandfather fucking stuck a thing in the ground because jeff dempsey gave him money what the fuck

does that have to do with you? With your money sign. I'll kick your balls through the fucking roof of your mouth, you little twat. I hate him. You're not even allowed to make money right now, you son of a bitch. Fuck, I hate him. Jesus Christ. ESPN had reported here that he was being paid for this, and they were looking in. They reported that a set of autograph dealers claimed that Manziel accepted payments to sign more than 4,000 items.

Jesus. NCAA spent a large chunk of a Sunday with Manziel questioning him and all that kind of shit. So I don't know what they ended up going. 4,000 things. That's a lot. Yep. They said they were thankful that the NCAA resolved the situation and he got to play. And they said, quote, this is A&M, quote, it's a win-win for everybody.

That's fucking amazing. So that was that. They said Johnny handled it very well. Everything around football, he's been extremely sharp and focused. That's what his coach said. They said, I know he likes to play football. I think the structure that he has had since August 4th has been nothing but helpful, meaning like in camp and everything. So May 8th, 2014 is the old NFL draft here.

Let's see here. What's he going to do? NFL draft here. Yeah. Let's see here. What's he going to do? He pulled out to go into the draft, and he sent a coach or a text to quarterback coach Dowell Logans of the Cleveland Browns saying that he wanted to, quote, wreck this league. Let's get together and wreck this league.

You're 5'7". Calm down. and wreck this league. You're 5'7". Calm down. They keep thinking the Cowboys are going to grab him because he's a local guy, but they pass him over, obviously, here. Number one overall, Jimmy. Who is it? Was it not Johnny Manziel?

No. Fuck no. The Cleveland Browns were not number one? No. Houston. Oh. Oh. Was it Jadavian Clowney? You got clown you got it my friend hey look at that not too

fucking shabby i fucking love that guy and he's done nothing since then and he's still fucking very highly paid he got more money from one tackle than anybody in history it's wild isn't it yeah it's amazing holy shit i know 22 overall is cleveland is that right 22 yes uh the quarterbacks that year number three overall was blake bordles to jackson oh my yeah that was a not good for anybody jesus uh the third quarterback drafted which was beginning of the second round was ted or end of the first round teddy bridgewater by minnesota derrick carr that year jimmy garoppolo aj mccarran it's a tough draft for quarterbacks aj mccarran's a good a good college quarterback not yes in the nfl obviously i think he's in the xfl now i think he's in the

xfl now i'm pretty sure oh it's so depressing yep um he was also by the way the 2014 major league draft johnny was drafted in the 28th round by the San Diego Padres as well. Is that right? He hasn't played baseball in four years. Yeah. Imagine you haven't picked up a glove since you were a junior in high school. And the Padres draft you. Want you.

So Johnny signs a four-year, $8.2 million contract with the Cleveland Browns. And there he is. So he is partying it up. It's time to get. Ready to wreck the league, James. Time to get funky and wreck this league. So June 7th through the 15th, there's a whole bunch of shit going on here. 7th and 15th of 2014.

There's a whole bunch of shit going on here. 7th and 15th of 2014. On the 7th, Johnny is photographed on a giant inflatable swan holding a huge bottle of champagne. Oh, Johnny, you can't do that. Remember that? This is a very decadent photo of a guy who hasn't done a goddamn thing. Nothing. Here.

A week later, on the 15th, a video emerges with, I remember this video, with him with him shouting i can't hear you there's too much money in my fucking hand oh my remember that whole thing he had money i can't hear you he was put the money up against his head he's like i can't hear you there's too much money in my hand oh jesus christ so uh he then goes to the rookie symposium at the end of June there. And they're telling him, you know, hey, you can't do all this stuff. You're really going to fuck yourself up. And, of course, as a rookie, these are people who know what they're talking about and have been in the league for a long time. They've done it. They've seen it.

They've seen a hundred just like you. So you take those words to heart, I think unless you're johnny manziel then you tell him that people at the rookie symposium and everyone else including the press that he quote is not going to change for anybody oh johnny it's a bad idea not gonna change for everybody he said nobody nobody reports on all my hard work they only report on all the off the field shit because that's what you're supposed to do that's why that's why nobody nobody reports it's never in the fucking newspaper on the news or uh you know front page on on fucking so your whatever site or social media you're on that you dropped your kids off at school. But if you murdered all of them,

that would be on the fucking front page. That's why. Because one of the things you're fucking supposed to do and the other one you're not. That's the reason for that. You know what I never heard about was all this stuff that Kobe did to prepare himself for games. You know when I heard about it?

When a helicopter crashed in the side of a fucking mountain.'s when you find out so wait johnny and we'll find out about that later until then we're going to talk about you hard work bricks of hundreds up to your fucking face he hasn't played a game yet no what you haven't done anything jesus christ maybe change for us, Johnny. Fuck. So on the 4th of July of 2014, he's photographed in a bathroom. Oh, boy. With a rolled up $20 bill. Yep.

I remember this one. That's not good. That's the biggie. How many $20 bills you got rolled up, Jimmy? Zero. None. Good reason for that. Don't do coke. That's a bill that you don't.

Only rich kids do that shit. You use a single. What the fuck? Yeah. What the fuck are you doing? You don't make a $20 straw. Holy shit. Look at you, you rich cunt.

And if you smoke weed and you like to roll things and fuck around, you roll it long ways a dollar. I've done that a lot, but nobody snorts coke the long way. That's the thing. You make that bitch short. Nobody. That bitch is short. So no drugs were found on him that night.

He didn't fail a drug test, but could be just a rolled up $20 bill, but who knows. Maybe he just didn't have coke. Maybe he's holding it up going, anybody? Anybody. Put some coke in front of me so I can snort it. I got a straw. I'm ready to snort. Put some coke in front of me so I can snort it.

I'm ready to snort. August 11, 2014, he's fined, finally, as a member of the Browns for the first time after showing up late to a team meeting in training camp. Very nice. August 18, they talk about what he's going to do on the field and all that kind of thing. And he goes out on the field and he does something dumb. He's fined $12,000 after giving the redskins bench the middle finger for for what johnny just for the hell of it just to go haha i did that did something so brian hoyer is named the starter two days later there's a thing about starting quarterbacks that you need to have a certain level of maturity. You're almost,

you almost have to be, they, the coaches look at you as the coach on the field. Like you're, you're supposed to be the adult out there. You can't be the biggest problem they have. That's, that's not how this goes.

You have to have, you have to have ice in your fucking veins and just like, you have to be like Jeffrey Dahmer with a victim shouting in his face. You have to sit, you have to be at a neighbormer with a victim shouting in his face you have to sit you have to be and a neighbor knocking on the door and saying what's that in there or Jeffrey Dahmer in court with a victim's family calling him a cunt that's what you got to be just stoic and yeah I get it you know you got to be calm that's all and if that's not you man you ain't gonna last and I'm not I'm not like I said, I cannot stand to watch Tom Brady because he's fucking boring.

He has no. He's got ice in his veins. He has, but he has, so did Dan Marino, but he's exciting. So did John Elway, but he's exciting. So did Joe Montana, but he was exciting. Fucking Tom Brady is paint drying very well, but boring to watch still that paint looks great i know but how long can i look at it it's boring the fuck out of me but so i like a quarterback every night i like a a swaggery quarterback i like a quarterback with a little bit of an attitude i like a brett farve

rolling left and fucking throwing right 45 yards across the field and hitting a guy in the chest and then fucking you know acting all happy and running down the field and jump. I like that. That's fun. That's fucking entertainment. I like it, but you have to be able to do those things first and he's not able to do them.

That's the problem. Before you can flip off the Washington bench. Yeah. Dan Marino did all sorts of funky shit, but he knew the playbook first. That's the thing. He knew, he knew what plays he was calling first.

You know? So man, it doesn't do well here. Cleveland this year, they go 7-9. And Johnny, he plays in five games. He starts two games. And he's pretty miserable, honestly. He's pretty miserable. No touchdowns, two picks. No touchdowns.

18 for 35. Oh, my God. It just doesn't really do that much at all just kind of they put him in a little bit he doesn't doesn't show the oh my god the flash of this amazing player or anything like that i mean he is on the browns also let's not let's also put that into perspective yeah your your your performance is certainly weighted upon your teammates performances if you can't if you've got a line that doesn't fucking block and you're running for your life you're not going to come you're not going to connect on many passes that's just the way it is it's not going to work out well so november division with pittsburgh when they're playing well the ravens are playing real oh my god that division is a tough division and since

physical isn't a slouch, yeah, they're physical. It's a physical division with a tiny quarterback. So Cleveland would, I'd say, get yourself a find a Big Ben type of guy. That's who lasts in the Central. Get a quarterback, for Christ's sake. Even Joe Flacco's statue ass was big enough to last for that long getting his shit pounded at him. It was his 6'6 and 260 pounds or some shit. Now, November 22nd of this year, during the he also of course has an issue um he is uh in the lobby of his apartment building what a fan is in his apartment building in the

lobby that he that he lives in a fan told police that he was assaulted by someone in manziel's entourage and um a few days later they asked asked Manziel about it, and he says, Johnny does, that a very intoxicated, very aggressive person approached him in the lobby. He said, luckily for us, I don't want to go into a lot of detail about everything that happened because it did all happen so fast.

Security was able to get things under wraps, and I'm very thankful for that as well. Yeah. Luckily, I got a lot of money and I paid Big Worm to beat the living shit out of this guy. Yeah, it's all good. So the Browns said that they're gathering information and they said, nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning for us

because this was like in the middle of the night. Right. That was what they were concerned. Yeah. They said, we continually stress to all of our players the importance of sound decision-making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations.

We have addressed appropriately with the player and have no further comment at this time. Christmas Eve 2014, Johnny's placed on IR. Hamstring injury. Yep. This is before the concussion started coming. Before the concussion started coming. So the day before that, he said that they asked him about his season. And he said, yeah, you know, maybe I'm not perfect.

He said, quote, it's been a year of growing up for me. I have to take this job a lot more seriously than maybe I did at first. Yeah. To think that, to go into the NFL where you have, dude, there's these coaches, they don't sleep. And they're all they're doing is watching you and on film and trying to plan ways to fuck you and beat you and hit you and kill you and intercept you. If you think that you can't do this, you shouldn't be doing the same back. The arrogant level, the level of arrogance you have is crazy. Yeah. Crazy.

Mind boggling. Because Peyton Manning shows up at 7 a.m. back in the day during this time. And he's fucking there all day watching film and he takes film home with him. And that's why he knows what he's doing. You know, these guys have have ulcers from the stress of the game, whereas Johnny's got ulcers and and nose rot from the bourbon. Yeah, it's different. It's tequila rot he's got yeah so uh december 27th

here he of course goes out partying with josh gordon uh and then misses the team walk through the following day three days after he said how much more serious he has to take it if he would have known how how how much josh gordon is willing this shit away. Oh, he doesn't give a fuck. You don't want to latch on with that guy. I love it, too. But it's just, why? He's just weed. That's the stupid part.

Josh Gordon, right now, wouldn't get suspended at all. So they should fucking apologize to him and fucking reinstate him. This is ridiculous. Sinking his career. This is so stupid. So, dumb shit. So he denies all the reports of the party, obviously. Johnny does.

I wasn't partying. Then he tells reporters two days later, quote, It's about action. It's about being accountable and doing what I'm going, what I say I'm going to do instead of looking like a jackass. That's what he said. What does that mean, Johnny? No idea. He said he said he doesn't know. He said he didn't miss.

you he said he said he doesn't know he said he didn't miss uh he he said it's not that i had friends in town and went out and partied last night which was what was reported he goes you know i just missed the meeting it happens i was late sorry jesus christ uh of course cbs reported that he threw a party on friday night which led to the lateness also reports of josh gordon who was deactivated for violating team rules that day, was there as well. So later came out that the Browns sent their security detail out looking for Manziel when he didn't show up to his treatment session. Wow. The Browns CIA came looking for him? They came looking for him.

Hey, you got to get your hamstring worked on. That's part of your shit. If you're hurt, you have to show up for treatment. Yeah. You have to show that you're trying to get back out there. So, yeah, he said that it wasn't a party. He just overslept. He explained it this way when they said, was it a party?

He said, no, absolutely not. I had people in town who were staying with me this week. But I mean, if three people from Kerrville, Texas are enough to warrant a party, well, it might be. We're from Kerrville. So it's absolutely ridiculous. I was irate about that yesterday, and it's really shameful that they did report that and the way it was tied directly with Josh as well. Okay. Was Josh there too?

You just described you hung out drinking all night with your friends and partying. That's what you did. Yeah, that's a party. Yeah. You didn't throw a party, but you partied. Happens to be a small party, but yet a party nonetheless. You had friends over and then overslept which what were you guys doing just shooting the shit you're probably drinking

and fucking bullshitting and all this what time did you go to bed johnny fuck man he said so i'm sorry to these guys that are veterans in the locker room and know what it takes that i'm having to learn the hard way at the same time i'm either going to learn or I'm going to be finding something else to do. Very prescient, Johnny. Very prescient. The wait is over. So far, you're not losing. The only thing you're losing is my patience.

Quickly, I see that. Bing! The queen of the courtroom is back. I didn't do anything. You wouldn't know the truth if it came up and slapped you in the face. I see he's not intimidated by anything. I can fix that. New cases.

She wanted to fight me. Leave her alone. Okay, so, um... This is not a so. This is a period. Classic Judy. Did you sleep with her? Yes, Your Honor. You married his cousin. His brother. That you sleep with her? Yes, Your Honor. You married his cousin.

His brother. That's not him. Yes, ma'am. I would make a beeline for the door. The Emmy Award winning series returns. How did I know that? I have a crystal ball in my head. It's an all new season.

It's streaming. You can say anything. Judy Justice. Only on Freebie. I would say here. So he's kind of an idiot. He does make a shitload of money, though. So that's good for him, I guess.

I don't know. January 5th, 2015, he is found. This is like a week later. He is partying at a houston nightclub he gave the middle finger to a group of hecklers causing them to throw drinks at him and um covering johnny and drinks and sending him home to get some clean clothes because he was covered in fucking different color boozes imagine being on the IR and partying in Texas when you're supposed to be in Cleveland.

That's crazy. I think the season's over. January 5th, I think. Yeah. They're not in the playoffs. Well, it's been over since October, but technically. But I mean, actually, he doesn't have any responsibilities. Mathematically, it's been over for three months.

It's a long time. Pretty much a moot point since training camp. Honestly, though. But now, who knows? Yeah, Hoyer's your starter. Let's go home, guys. Oh, man. So he's doing fine.

This is ridiculous, all this talk of too much partying. So much so that he needs a break. And on February 2nd, he goes into rehab. Into rehab, February 2nd he goes into rehab oh into rehab february 2nd 2015 yeah for a kid that doesn't have any problems that's uh that's fascinating yeah they're calling it treatment they're saying he sought treatment for undisclosed personal issues well those should certainly be disclosed for the fun of it. He's having a jackass-ectomy is what he's having, apparently. It's going to come out clean and sober and strong. Oh, my God.

His publicist, I'm sure that's a very reliable source here. Yeah. He said, Johnny knows there's areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend, and teammate. And he thought the off-season was the right time to take this step step on behalf of johnny his family were asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in cleveland okay yeah the cleveland browns said we respect johnny's initiative and his decision and will fully support him throughout this process our players health and well-being will always be the utmost importance to the cleveland brown. Yeah, not winning, though.

We know that's not the utmost importance. At least we found out. At least after all these years, we know what the thing is that's of the utmost importance for the Cleveland Browns because we knew it wasn't football a long time ago. Really did. It's safety. They then said, we continually strive to create a supportive environment and provide the appropriate resources with our foremost focus being on the individual and not just the football player. Very silver statement here.

Johnny's privacy will be respected by us during this very important period, and we hope others will do the same. So, April 2015, he's at a rehab. Ready to go. Clean, sober, dancing around Johnny. I think 10 weeks he did there. So he said, I would like to thank my family, friends, the Browns organization, my teammates, and Browns fans everywhere for your patience, understanding, and support during my stay at Karen. The doctors and staff have been amazing. And what I've learned the last couple months has been tremendous.

I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed, but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down. Hold on. Let's do an in their own words here. This is ridiculous. This is too good to not do in their own words. So let's finish this up with, in their own words, quote, I take full responsibility for my actions, and it's my intention to work very hard to regain everyone's trust and respect. I understand that it will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say. I also understand there's a lot of curiosity about this, but anyone who has a friend or family member that's been through things like this knows it's an ongoing process.

Yeah. There you go. Jesus an ongoing process. There you go. Jesus Christ, man. There we go. Oh, Christ. He said it's his desire to be the best possible player, teammate, and man that I can be. Let's see how that goes. The next month, he is at the PGA Tours Byron Nelson Classic. He's attending that event.

I don't know. It's Irving, Texas. So he's attending there. He is at the pool at the Four Seasons Hotel in Irving, Texas. Oh, dear God. When an 18-year-old male golf fan decides that he's going to give Johnny some shit. I like him already. So here is Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot live tweeting this as it goes.

Details. Fantastic. As it comes out. Yeah. I have the screenshots. It's so funny. Details. Irving police spokesman told Cleveland.com a fan harassed Johnny Manziel at a pool. Refused to stop.

Next tweet. Manziel threw a water bottle at the man. An 18-year-old. Things escalated. Hotel security intervene. Then police also intervene. Dot, dot, dot. Police did not detect that Manziel had been drinking.

Fan decided not to press charges. No charges filed. It's there. So, yeah. The details of this, because that's the very, that's the short version. Condensed version. Yeah. That's the clip notes. I want to know what words were said, and luckily we have them.

Oh, fantastic. Apparently this guy, a friend of Manziel's, told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN that the fan tried to grab Johnny Manziel, not like assault him, but grabbed him so he could hear him and said, good luck never starting in the NFL, was what he said. It's kind of weak, but all right. Just such a dick fucking, yeah. Then he said, even Ryan Tannehill is way better than you, which that is an insult. That's fucked up.

That's mean. Well, two years later, Ryan got it. He's pretty decent. He's not bad. He's all right. But at the time, this was an insult. Yeah. It stung a little.

It stung a little. And he continued to keep heckling and heckling. Then Penzel turned and threw a water bottle at him which did not hit the fan and then the fan said good throw johnny which is fucking amazing which is the exact right thing to say at that point as johnny tries to throw something at you poorly it's like thanks for proving my point i love it so the fan consistently just kept trying to heckle him and then um yeah there you go so according to you roast him for 10 minutes about the throw that's fucking amazing man just keep that great throw johnny you're doing real

good the browns head coach did not blame Johnny. He said, under the right set of circumstances, anyone standing here could get to that. He said, I have no thoughts. It's a non-story. There you go. An unnamed Browns player told Bleacher Report, I like Johnny, but he has to ask why this type of trouble always seems to find him. Because he's always out looking in it that's why he wants to be so the fucking party no shit um so may 9th 2015 before training camp

even fucking starts the uh head coach announces that josh mccown will be the starting quarterback entering training camp. Entering training camp. Would you rather be heckled at a pool party or be told that McCown is taking your job? Before you even have a chance. You're just done. So the coach, he said, quote, We want Manziel essentially with horse blinders on focus on his job getting up every day perfecting his craft whatever it is homework that the quarterbacks

have or come out and working on his footwork his releases that he's so much more concerned about himself than really anything else we just want him to just just live eat breathe sleep quarterbacking just quarterbacking you're adopting the last name of football at least fucking give a shit about it yeah that's what i mean you're supposed you're supposed to be a big shot fucking guy here so his girlfriend at the time i don't talk a lot about her ms crowley here um she said that as a result of this johnny became depressed and closed off i'm sure he did because yeah people are now they're not going hey johnny you know oh you're such a dick with your money now they're just calling you a loser yeah now they're just saying you suck and you're

you're nothing so he he's never experienced this in his life yeah since he's been two years old hitting the golf ball over the neighbor's thing. Everybody always talks about how incredible he is. And now all of a sudden people are like, nice throat, Johnny, you fucking loser. Yeah, beautiful. This is a real fish out of water story now. Yeah, it really is. So she said he became closed off and depressed. She said, quote, he didn't hang out with his friends. LeBron James would invite him over and he just wanted to be at home. Yeah.

He just wasn't even going to hang out with LeBron anymore. He's even so sad. I get like that sometimes, too. I'm like, listen, Bron Bron, you know, like, I know we were supposed to hang today and go, like, fucking Bentley shopping or whatever billionaire people do. I don't know. You know, but I'm just kind of bummed, dude dude i don't know what it is no no you you go to turks and

cacos on your own and you tell them that i said hi i'm gonna stay here in houston and play madden alone i'm sad that's all i'm gonna play as me and jack up my shit. Johnny's not a 72. Johnny's a 98. I'm going to make myself taller on Matt. There I am. Look at me. I'm so much taller.

Oh, man. And his girlfriend Crowley said also, I was unhappy. I didn't have someone that made me feel like i had a purpose i was just a babysitter oh just making sure he wasn't doing dumb shit june 2nd to 2015 shaquille o'neal gives his take on the situation what did shaq say in a monotone voice he said he said this this isn't texas a&m where you live in one place and everybody loves you and this is the big time now they want to exploit you that's what he said yeah but just go out there and do the best you can do when you're a celebrity you have to be careful people can uh can say and do certain things but when we react we're the villains so yeah um june 7 2015 manziel uh competes in the joe hayden celebrity softball event joe hayden is a defensive back on the team and he wins the johnny wins the home run

derby oh yeah well i mean yeah i suppose terrific yeah june 17th he's telling everyone he's growing up now this is it he says that he's going to retire the money sign now. He's not going to do the little finger money sign. He's not going to do that. That's what a child would do that. Are you kidding me? Not a 5'7 adult. You see Johnny Unitas out there?

You see Johnny Unitas out there doing that? No. Yeah, not once. That's what he said. So you see Terry Bradshaw and Ken Stabler in the 70s doing that. So June 17th, he tells him, he says, quote, my focus is on football. This is what I'm here to do and what I love to do. My private life has been documented well enough.

Today, I'm eager to talk about the 2015 Cleveland Browns. Oh. enough today i'm eager to talk about the 2015 cleveland browns oh which is the only time that was ever said ever in the history of the world in 2015 no one's ever been eager to talk about the 2015 cleveland browns he said that's really my focus everything else i'm trying to close a chapter in my life and move forward i yeah i'm good now so good i'm good now everybody um june 24th 2015 todd marinovich is gonna weigh in remember him our old pal todd really our old pal todd's gonna weigh in behind a fucking in the alley of a taco shack somewhere i was gonna say they were interviewing interviewing him as he was running down the sidewalk barefoot while cops chased behind going, Todd, come back.

Come on, Todd. Jesus Christ. We know it's you, Todd. That's amazing. There's needles everywhere. No one else runs around here barefoot. Come on, Todd. You know, it's not good when draft and NFL busts are having a take on your career now.

That's really awful. When your career is going so badly they need to go to todd marinovich to get perspective on it that's a bad sign let's see who else has done this terrible thing homeless bus drug addict is commenting on your career fuck man todd said that uh if johnny has problems with substances, kicking them is going to be the hardest thing he's ever done in his life. He said that getting to rehab is great. But then once you get there, you're really you really open. You're really open to it. Are you open to adopt a new lifestyle? That's the problem. Going to that doesn't mean anything. It's are you willing to do the work?

And clearly he wasn't. He wasn't willing to do the work to get in the fucking NFL. Why would he be willing to do the work to be a clean, not drug addict? He's not doing the work to throw his first touchdown pass yet. He still hasn't done that. What the fuck are we talking about here? Yeah. 2015, the Browns are 3-13. Oh, Jesus.

Just god awful. Johnny starts six games, plays in nine, and doesn't do too well. He has seven touchdowns and five picks, which is better than it was before, but still not great.

Under 2,000 yards, he's just not crushing it. If you watch this, too, it looked like every yard looked like it really was like pulling teeth to get it was hard for him um he's he's a small guy and it just doesn't it's hard so his girlfriend that we heard from before colleen crowley here yeah um colleen crowley we'll talk about her she said that the partying was what she called pretty average for people her age, for their age at the time. We were young people.

We were partying. You know what I mean? That's what everybody was doing. 24? That was up. My average party when I was 24 was – it would ruin NFL careers. I was not living a healthy life. But by the end of the week, you weren't going to have jj watt trying

to murder you that was the difference whereas this guy's yeah he is it's a different thing she said that uh it wasn't over the top crazy in the early months and she said her relationship with johnny was supposed to be a fun summer fling type of thing which she's she was i think they met at texas a&m or at an event or something because she's a texas a&m girl too um she's like a her dad's like some international something like she's very wealthy too she's she would definitely swim in his circles you know what i'm saying yeah um she said that uh um things turned serious because he ended up leaving school early though and he asked her to be his girlfriend

and he said quote i want you to come up to cleveland every weekend or i'll come down there then he moved into his apartment in downtown cleveland and she said that she sensed a real change oh well i've spent if you've spent any time in downtown cleveland that'll make you grumpy let's be honest here that'll change your your life. It's, that'll change I was there for a day and a half and it fucking changed me plenty. Why?

Why? How is it windy always? How? She said he was on edge more aggressive and really sad um she said she heard rumors of his out of you know his drug use is out of control and he's fucking all sorts of people but she said oh come on that's not my johnny yeah she said though there was no denying his issues when he quote came to me to me crying, saying I need to go to rehab.

So, yeah, he's got issues here. October 2015 here. These issues get pretty stark. This is October 20th, 2015 at 225 p.m. So middle of the day here. There's no middle of the night and it hasn't gotten out of control. Apparently, the police are going to be looking into a highway incident that occurred between Johnny and his girlfriend. NFL spokesman said this is just standard procedure to look into any incident.

That's all they do. So apparently this happened on October 12th and dash cam video was released and recorded here. It happened in Avon, Ohio. And police will ultimately not charge Johnny, but that's something. His car came to the attention of a witness after they say he was driving at a high speed along the shoulder of Interstate 90. Oh. Which is not how you do it. Yeah. Maybe he was studying his

playbook that's all it was he glanced he wasn't looking up enough and he was also cutting across several lanes of traffic to exit as well and um the in the video that they end up having later his girlfriend crawley here can be heard saying that manziel quote, hit me a couple of times telling officers this. Oh boy. And officers noted that, um, uh, officers did note that she was intoxicated at the time and they declined to

press and she didn't want to press charges as well. Um, Manziel though, who's obviously been in rehab. He said that, um, he'd been drinking as well all day but he denied hitting her so he said i was driving and drinking yeah after i just got out of rehab my girlfriend's in the car she

says i hit her he said i was drinking and driving but not hitting her uh the charge officer is dui not dv yeah come on jesus christ man he said that he grabbed her once to stop her from jumping out of the moving vehicle. And that's the only time he ever touched her, even. That was for her own safety. I mean, goodness gracious. Golly gee, officer. I just wanted to make sure she was safe. When you got to put your hands on her to keep her from leaving you, that's fucking, this fight's already out of control.

It's a bit of a problem i would say here um uh here this is from abc5 in cleveland a witness called police after seeing manziel's white nissan use the shoulder of the road to pass her at high speed jesus yeah you can't go that's not elaine over there he's driving one of those 350z's isn't he i'll bet he is probably the witness told police that the couple was arguing and crowley attempted to exit the vehicle while they were on the road a second witness reported later on that quote uh their second witness said that uh when the police arrived crowley told police manziel pushed her head into a window she wanted her cell phone because she was concerned about her safety and she just wanted to return to Texas.

So yeah. Now here's the weirdest thing that shows up on the video. Manziel's teammate, Paul Kruger arrives. Okay. Just accidentally. He was driving by and saw Johnny Manziel on the side of the road with some cops and a woman. And he was like, let me, you know, offensive lineman block.

That's what they do. So he takes this a bit far. Yeah. And he says that he goes on, by the way, he would say Kruger said that she's not the right one he should be with. That's what he was telling police, that Crowley isn't the right one for Johnny. Yeah. Look, she's Johnny. She's blah, blah, blah.

Now Crowley, the girlfriend, she said that it wasn't fair that Kruger was there because it was like two Cleveland Browns talking to this cop and then me over here, whatever. So, um, this is fucking amazing that that happened by the way, the offensive lineman showed up and he's like, yeah, she's not good for him. So Manziel tweets after that. Colleen and I got into a dumb public argument on the way home Monday afternoon. It probably looked more interesting than it was. And I know I would stop and check if I saw a couple arguing on the side of the road. It was embarrassing, but not serious.

And when we talked to police, they realized everything was all right. And I was sober. And we went home together. And everything is fine. What? Yep. They realized. He just said in the same sentence, everything was all right and everything is fine.

Which makes me think that neither of those things are true. A double positive is like a double negative. It negates it. It's not a yeah he tweeted that's that's fucking ridiculous so uh crowley on instagram posted jay and i are good that was i tweeted my tweet now you do yours oh man i guess according to the dash cam video, I guess according to Manziel in the dash cam video when he was there, this is what he was saying, that he was telling the cop that it started when Johnny said he wanted to pick up another friend and she objected and tossed his wallet out the window. That's what he said. Oh, what? So, yeah, that was his excuse. So the Browns said they have decided to keep Manziel as listed as active for now until they figure out what's going on.

Yeah, the coach said, we've dealt with it. It's not like we ignored it, but we're ignoring it. We haven't ignored it, but we will now. But we will. Yeah, that's how it's going to work. Now we'll take it. We're going to take all this information in hand, ignore it thoroughly, and get on with our season.

Thank you very much. What the fuck? Thank you for being at this press conference. Yeah, Jesus Christ. So she initially told police on the video that he hit her a couple times and shoved her head into a window. But a few minutes later, she ended up saying that later on she'd say her protective instincts kicked in she said quote your instinct is to be like what do we need to do what do i need to say to get him out of this i constantly felt like i had to protect him so that's what she said so she was like no no no it's fine it's fine it's fine now uh she told the officer she doesn't wish

to press press charges which i didn't think if there was a violence involved it was really up to anybody to press charges i thought that right right you say i i fucking did that and then you i don't know i guess she would have to have marks i'm not sure of i'm not sure how to be able to prove something right i don't know what texas highway justice is like on a domestic dispute level i really don't so yeah yeah she said that she even had no idea what the what they were fighting about at the time later on. And she would later say he would say he felt like he was trying really hard and going in the right direction. But he wasn't starting with someone with his issues. When you're performing well, you're not getting what you think you're supposed to be getting.

It's probably like, well, why even try? So he yeah, he would then he continues drinking and all that kind of shit later on crowley would say during this time he he was using xanax and cocaine both so oh both yeah yeah so that's a that's a quite an up or down or combo you got going there johnny yeah it's a roller coaster fascinating choice combo you got going there johnny yeah that's a roller coaster choice i'm gonna make my own little speed ball that's fun um november 2015 this is november 17th johnny is named starter for the rest of the season that year that's how he got his his six starts or whatever there um which is hilarious josh mccown was two and two and eight coming into it so you got no choice.

Yeah, 1-6 as a starter, and also he was hurt. So they were like, okay, we've got to do this. The coach ended up saying, I think the performance against Pittsburgh validated the process that he's made, the improvement that he's shown, and he deserves this opportunity. We understand where our season is. This is a kid we've invested a lot in, and this will give us an opportunity to see how far he's come and what he's capable of. November

19, 2015, Skip Bayless, the dip. This was the dumbest thing he said. Out of all the things he said, mostly that Johnny was going to be so great. This is the dumbest thing of all. He says that Manziel is so good. He's good now, obviously. He's so great. This is the dumbest thing of all. He says that Manziel is so good.

He's good now, obviously. He's so good. He questions the Cowboys' decisions at quarterback, saying that Dallas would be running away with the division right now if Jerry Jones would have just picked Johnny Manziel in the 2014 draft instead of doing what he's doing. What the fuck? I guess you can just say wild shit that you would.

It's impossible to know. I mean, that's what I mean. We know that it wouldn't be happening, but it's impossible to be able to argue against that. You just have to say, Skip, that's stupid. It's the only argument you've got. Very stupid. Well, here's what he says in a quote. This is his dumbness.

When you see it written in black and white, it's even dumber than hearing it in his stupid voice. His stupid, frosty, douchey voice. He says, quote, Jerry Jones badly wanted to draft Johnny Manziel. Johnny, as a Dallas Cowboy, was meant to be. He was born a Dallas Cowboy. That's how he's saying it, too. Johnny is flat-out Hollywood. He was born a Dallas cowboy. That's how he's saying it too. Johnny is flat out Hollywood. He's not a Cleveland Brown.

He's been stuck with the worst group of skill players in the NFL starting for the Cleveland Browns. You put him with Des Bryant and all the other weapons that Dallas has behind that offensive line and say go Johnny go. Running away with the division.

He thinks Dallas is Hollywood. What a what a dork yeah that's the other thing so that's november 19th because he just got named starter november 24th not a starter anymore five days running away with it yeah benched for off-field antics here yep uh dropped not only from a starter to a non-starter to a third stringer. They dropped him to the bottom of the depth chart. Unbelievable. Yeah. This is not in games.

He was playing fine. He partied his way out of the lineup, as they called it. They're going to have Josh McCown start again. Good Lord. A video surfaces of him holding a bottle of champagne and rapping what they call profane lyrics in austin texas that weekend at a nightclub oh my god drinking and partying what did he say whose lyrics did he use what an asshole you know what i mean oh fuck man so uh coach patine said everyone in this organization wants what's best for Johnny, just like we do for every player in our locker room.

I'm especially disappointed in his actions and behavior because he has been working very hard. The improvements from last year to this year have been tremendous, but he still has to consistently demonstrate that he's gained a good understanding of what it takes to be successful at the quarterback position on this level. It goes well beyond the field. You are the guy on a billboard on the highway in your town. You're the guy on all the commercials. You're the face of the team, stupid. You're a guy on the side of the stadium that people are buying tickets because you're here.

You fucking asshole. Get it together. So they said that Johnny, though, he tried to say that that was from a different time that wasn't even this weekend and they were like no no it's this weekend come on come on yeah um that's fucking ridiculous you have a vision of what you want the team to look like and how you want them to handle themselves when you're out of the building this is the coach still it's not just pure football here it's truly player development on and off the field we've always we always say to whom much is given much is expected and that's true for all of our players my hope is for him whatever those choices that he's making are that they're healthy choices

and that they're good for him as a person that's yeah so now december 2nd m McCown keeps getting hurt again, but instead of starting Johnny Manziel, they start Austin Davis. Who? Exactly. What? Exactly. Yes. That day, or the next week on December 6th here, the Browns are blown out 37-3 by the Bengals, and they still don't put Manziel in. Wow.

Then the reports come out with austin davis yeah it's then the words come out well that he manziel's gonna start the final four games of the season then on december 10th they said that uh the offensive coordinator says that he and manziel have a good relationship but you know johnny's got to keep his word and do his thing then december 28 2015 another video surfaces of him on the internet here um uh this he's rapping again now another person's drinking alcohol but he's still rapping um it's so uncomfortable the coach said that you know it's nothing illegal is going on in the video he but he said anytime there's something with our players that cast them potentially in a bad light, whether it's Johnny or any of our guys, it's certainly a concern.

He said, I'm sure I'll see it. I'll have a discussion with him about it. So that was not fucking karaoke night. And nobody raps at karaoke night. Stop rapping. It's the most cringe fucking thing you can do when you're johnny manziel yeah yeah um then on december 31st he's ruled out for the season finale with a concussion now so now he's johnny concussion like from american dead so there we go january 1st he is spotted at a las vegas

casino on the eve of the season finale game that's not not okay. He's going to sit out that game due to a concussion. But he was seen Saturday night dining and gambling at Planet Hollywood Casino, according to employees and patrons who interacted with him. By the way, he was going by the name. I'm not Johnny. He was disguising himself, calling himself Billy. I'm Billy Manziel, he was saying. Not shitting you. That's my brother, Johnny. calling himself billy i'm billy manziel he was saying not shitting you that is i'm billy yeah what an asshole he sat down at the blackjack table and a casino employee

examined his id and said we've got johnny manziel with us tonight and he said he was billy so there you go so um january 2nd 2016 the day of the final game of the season he is cited by police for driving with expired plates on his car what yes they've been expired since september uh 20th by the way and they're the same plates that were on his car on october 12th when he got pulled over with the whole incident with his girlfriend. But he was still in the grace period of a month. So not bad. January 6th, 2016. But I'm sure they reminded him that day.

So please get these fixed before you have an issue. I think after don't drink before you drive and don't hit your girlfriend, I think it's a distant third probably. Let's get those taken care of too, by the way. By the way, do some paperwork. Fuck drive and don't hit your girlfriend. I think it's a distant third probably. Let's get those taken care of, too, by the way. By the way, do some paperwork. Fuck, I don't know. So January 6th, his marketing agency, LRMR, announced that it would no longer be working with Johnny Manziel. And Johnny Manziel's agent, Eric Burkhart, also announced that he would no longer be representing Johnny Manziel. They've had it with him that's now the people well they've now deemed you not a financially viable anymore so not only putting up with your shit doesn't pay my mortgage so i'm tired of this

i'm done with your bullshit all you're doing is giving me work and not giving me money yeah yeah i'm spending this much time dealing with your shit and this much of the money I'm making, so fuck you. So there's that. January 12th, 2016, Nike says they're going to drop their sponsorship with Johnny Manziel as well.

He had a Nike sponsorship. Also, Bernie Kosar, the old Browns legend there, he says that despite multiple attempts to reach out to Johnny Manziel, he's failed to make contact. And the next day, the Browns had fired their coach and hired Hugh Jackson. And Hugh Jackson said, yeah, Johnny's not going to be a thing here in Cleveland. I don't have any interest in that guy. He's not part of my plan, yeah.

You can't come in as a new coach and have this giant problem. You got to start with a fresh slate. part of my plan yeah you can't come in as a new coach and have this giant problem you you gotta yeah start with a fresh slate so and i'm not coming in as a as a new coach and my my star quarterback that's got all this hype around him bernie kozar can't even get a hold of him yeah he won't even take bernie's call here i'm done so but they said they won't rush to judgment on keeping or cutting him here you You know, won't do that. Also, Chandler Parsons of the Dallas Mavericks came out and said, Johnny's a good kid. He's just made some tough decisions.

No, wrong decisions was the word you missed. Not tough decisions. What is he even saying? Tough decisions. The fuck are you talking about? Yeah, those are. Wow. It's not a tough decision to decide not to hit your girlfriend.

It's not a tough decision to decide maybe I don't do coke. To decide to blow your NFL career? Yeah, right. It's not a tough decision at all. He's had bad decisions and tough situations. He's just dealt with them wrong. Yeah, that he made for himself. Yeah.

His situations, he had to go out of his way to make them tough. Because really, the whole world bent over backwards for this asshole and then he had to figure out a way to make it so it was harder for himself i feel like he likes it harder on himself yeah he made it tough on me how about that yeah there you go january 20th this has been a long month and a half that's been like every week something new. January 29th this month here. It was 22nd was the last thing. January 29th, a little bit of a problem with his girlfriend Colleen Crowley again. Yes, there's a disagreement.

Starts out. It's going to be a multi-location fight that they have here. Oh, wow. Apartment, car, road, outside outside her house, all sorts of shit. So this starts out in a hotel room, uh, there, and he is supposed to be driving her to his car for her, to her car from a hotel room. Okay. She was out with friends in Dallas and he asked her to meet him at the Hotel Zaza for an after party in his room. Okay. She said she was going to go there.

She had had maybe two drinks, tops, she said. She said that she showed up at the hotel room with her two friends about 2 o'clock in the morning. He didn't seem significantly intoxicated either. Everybody's maybe got a nice buzz going. That's about it. So she said, my friends wanted to go, but he wouldn't let me. They were like, come on, let's go. We're going to continue partying. He was like, no, you stay here. So she said, as soon as they left, I basically said, I'm not

sleeping in this bed with you. And that's when all hell broke loose. So according to her written statement later, Manziel restrained her and led her downstairs where he forced her into her car. OK, or into his car, into his car. They then drove to a bar where her car was parked and switched. She got in her vehicle there. They got in her vehicle instead of his vehicle at that point. She said this was against her will. She drug her there and she

said we're getting out we're going into your car now um crowley at some point here during this during the car exchange uh escaped the car and tries to hide in the bushes but very mature johnny this is johnny's like a german short hair yeah he's like a german short-haired pointer and he tracked her down and brought her back he sniffed her out made the little thing and um at which point she says that he struck her with an open hand rupturing her eardrum what hit her in the eardrum um she said that um that was because she said as he was backing as she was he was backing out she said she jumped from the car. He grabbed me by my hair and threw me back into the car and then hit me with an open hand on my left ear. She said that the blow made her completely deaf in one ear for about three and a half months.

Whoa. Now, they're driving. That'll do that. They're driving to her apartment. While they're driving he she said he threatened to kill uh kill them both at that point she said he was laughing and crying simultaneously which is not good when someone's driving fast and they're laughing and crying simultaneously that is a bad scene man that's dangerous she said i think there was some mental breakdown because of

the way he was acting. It wasn't like drugs or alcohol would affect a person. This was more deep-rooted. Like, he just fucking snapped. She said, here's her quote on the whole thing. And she said, oh, she said she hit him back several times trying to get out of the car, but Manziel threw me off him, causing her head to strike the car window, knocking her onto the floor as well. She said that Manziel pulled her onto the seat, telling her to stop and that he wouldn't he wasn't going to let her have her phone.

So he drove on I-30 toward her apartment in Fort Worth. And she said, I was crying, telling him, I hate you. Just leave me alone. I hate you. And he said he was going to drop her off, take her car and go kill himself. That's what she said. She worried he was on drugs or having a psychotic break. So she tried to calm him down by saying, I love you. We can figure this out. We can talk. And she said that he, quote, started laughing at this. And I became really scared.

She said that he told her, quote, shut up or i'll kill us both which i think every man has said once or twice but i think he meant it that's the difference i'm regretting heckling this man right to his face now i didn't know he was this psychotic jesus christ he's like this is fucking crazy wow um so um they got back to her apartment go inside and they continue arguing and arguing until 5 a.m oh when manziel i guess she said she was doing something but he found out she was trying to call her parents uh-huh because she's that type of rich person that doesn't call the cops they call their parents first yeah that's a different person yeah her parents have gotten her out of a lot of jams is what that sounds like, which is great. Good. That's what I do for my daughter, too. Good for you, yeah.

Fuck it, yeah. That's what you do. So she said, out of fear for my life, I pulled a knife out of my knife block and advanced toward him, and he ran out of the apartment. Maybe I'm not. Maybe I don't regret heckling him. Right? And then a neighbor who heard her screaming called 911. When police arrived, according to reports, she became uncooperative and refused to answer many questions. And then a week later, she filed the written complaint with the Dallas police, and a judge orders him to stay away from her for two years.

Two years. So she said, I was lucky I survived. I fought for my life that night. So, yeah. I think she's right. Yeah. She said a police report said that she felt like she was going to die or get beaten really badly. And, yeah.

And she told the neighbor, when a neighbor called 911, she said, Johnny Manziel just beat the shit out of me. The neighbor called the police. They were like, well, that I believe. Yeah. 911. 911. Yeah. A little guy there? Oh, well, that I believe. Yeah. 9-1-1. Yeah. A little guy there. Oh, I thought that was somebody's kid running around.

Do you think this is, do you think he suffers from CT? You think he's got a decision-making switch that doesn't operate anymore? I know he's got multiple, he's got multiple concussions. He drinks like a fish. He does all sorts of fucking, he was doing different drugs that do different things to him. His life is spiraling out of control. People are fucking heckling him at golf tournaments. I think when you add all that, he can't take it.

He can't take it. He said later on that it didn't happen. That's what he said. I never hit her. He said, I'm completely stable. I'm That's what he said. I never hit her. He said, I'm completely stable. I'm safe and secure. Yeah. I'm good now is what he's saying there.

I don't believe it. I don't believe it for a second. So, yep, they had a gallery of photos from this incident, and there were visible marks and bruises on her back, leg, neck, collarbone, among other areas as well. All sorts of marks and bruises on her back, leg, neck, collarbone, among other areas as well. All sorts of marks and bruises on her. She was told more about it. She was saying at the hotel room he had thrown her on her bed and told her, you know, said we're going to leave.

And he was basically dragging her all around the place is what it was. So February 2nd, the Browns say, quote, we've been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny's continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization. First of all, everything you said was true up to that point. You're the Browns. You don't have a reputation. Your reputation is, ha ha, you fucking losers You don't have a reputation. Your reputation is, ha-ha, you fucking losers.

That's not a reputation. Your reputation is we draft poorly, never fucking win, and our city smells like exhaust jizz. What are we doing? Shut up, Cleveland. The ghost of Otto Graham and the old career of Jim Brown. Fuck my life. They have gotten so much mileage out of that shit. Oh, my God.

Kevin Mack would be rolling over in his grave if he wasn't 50 and not dead. I'm sure he is dead now that I said that. So they said his status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We have no further comment at this time. In other words, we're not allowed to release him yet. They're not. It's the league rules up have no further comment at this time in other words we're not allowed to release him yet they're not it's the league rules up to certain dates so police invest announced that they're going to launch a criminal investigation into all of this and um paul manziel that is johnny's dad he's talking to the dallas morning news and he says that the family has tried to get his son to accept professional help twice in the past week. He told the newspaper when he tried to have Johnny admit to admitted to a psychiatric and chemical dependency hospital, Manziel was allowed to leave.

So he brought Johnny to a hospital and they let Johnny go. So he says, wow, this is Paul quote. I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday. Yes. He is 23 years old. That's amazing. So they're going to release Johnny. Oh, by the way, one of Johnny's teammates described his work ethic as a, quote, 100% joke.

Well, they said he didn't watch film he didn't show up he just thought he could get out there look at the defense real quick figure it out yeah throw you know do some johnny football stuff juking and jiving and tossing no what he's always done not how that shit works it's his whole career that's what he's done his whole life. It's his whole career. That's what he's done his whole life, and it's always worked, so he thinks it's just going to work now. It's not going to happen. So March 11th, Cleveland waves him, which means someone else can pick him up. And March 12th, they release him because nobody picked him up because he's an idiot, obviously. Who the hell is going to pick this guy up? So Manziel's spokesperson, he still has a spokesperson person somehow he doesn't have this or that but he's got this

he says quote so or she says so many people have one image of jonathan now he's jonathan he's not even john come on man come on man that's amazing amazing. This is the first time since birth we've heard Jonathan. Jonathan. You asshole. Jesus Christ. She's good at her job. I'll give her that, man. That's not bad.

If you're not us and see this every day, it might slip by you. But believe it or not, he takes all of this very seriously. Yeah. No. He's hoping that he can clear up his personal issues, start interviewing agents, and see what he needs to do if he wants to play this year. Oh, wow. That is fucking wild. Yeah, I would say.

I don't even know what to do there. So they were also, Drew Rosenhaus is going to end up signing him here and then getting rid of him again. Rosenhaus informed him of his decision to terminate the relationship, but he would reverse the decision if Johnny went into a treatment facility within five days. So he gave him an ultimatum. Yeah. He says, Rosenhaus says, in of helping him uh get the treatment i believe he needs and rosenhaus is the agent you get when things are going bad he's the yeah he's the best he's the guy he'll have you well let's not say that he had terrell owens doing fucking sit-ups

in his driveway well how good did that do him nothing he just embarrassed him he is he does some embarrassing shit to rosenhaus he really does but He's kind of an embarrassment, I think, personally. To the level of your scandal, though, of embarrassment. He doesn't draw it out and make it more embarrassing. He just gets attention on you. Yeah, I guess. But no one wants to sign Terrell Owens, so I'll have him do sit-ups in his driveway. Kind of exacerbates the problem.

It does. Yeah. He's not the smartest. It just doesn't strike me as a real bright guy that's all he strikes me as a guy who really knows how to act like he's smart and do a lot of dumb shit even he loves to manipulate the media and and try it oh that's exactly what it is yeah yeah he should just get into politics yeah he's just getting to politics or one of these hyper partisan news networks fucking pick one doesn't matter it's a million of them yeah yeah yeah whichever side Yeah, he's just getting into politics or one of these hyper-partisan news networks. Fucking pick one, doesn't matter.

There's a million of them. Yeah, whichever side, doesn't matter. Like he has any fucking scruples or like he has a center. He doesn't care. Whatever pays money, that's what it'll do. Rosenhaus said, I have informed him that if he takes the immediate steps I have outlined for him, that I will rescind the termination and continue that I will rescind the termination and continue to represent him otherwise the termination will become permanent there's a five-day window for

me to rescind the termination I am hoping he takes the necessary steps to get his life back he also says that in 27 years as an agent he's never fired a player before that's how much of a dipshit johnny manziel is um yep he said accountability is the foundation of any relationship and without it the function of my work is counterproductive very true uh very true uh also nike dropped him as we said he's having a lot of problems here the n NFL is investigating whether he violated its personal conduct policy with the domestic violence incident. Dallas prosecutors are going to present the case to a grand jury. Not good for him all over the place.

April 9th, 2016, 10.45 p.m., Los Angeles, California. This isn't, I guess, Johnny's fault, but Johnny's a passenger in a car crash. Sunset Plaza Drive and Sunset Plaza Circle in that area. After the crash, the driver and passengers ran from the scene. I wonder why. They later returned, and witnesses identified the driver as Ryan Silverstein. When interviewed by LAPD, he admitted to driving the car too fast and losing control of the vehicle, which hit a light pole, and there was no injuries. Johnny wasn't even interviewed by the LAPD.

So he's there. April 13th, officially dropped here by Drew Rosenhaus. Manziel said, I'm hoping to take care of the issues in front of me right now so I can focus on what I have to do to play in 2016. I also continue to be thankful to those who really know me and support me. Unlike that fucking Judas Drew Rosenhaus. That's what it sounds like to me. There's no shit.

Oh, man. April 26, 2016. Grand jury. A Texas grand jury indicts Johnny Manziel on an assault charge. The indictment accuses him of intentionally and knowingly and recklessly causing bodily injury to Crowley. His attorney says Johnny will certainly plead not guilty. And we believe the evidence will support that.

And we believe he will be acquitted at the conclusion of this case. He turns himself in a week and a half later. He was just like kind of on the lam for a while, sort of. Turns himself in. He's booked on assault charges post $1,500 bond, and he's released. He is told, ordered to stay away from the ex for two years and have no firearms as well. Oh. Which sounds good.

If you're laughing and crying at the same time, let's keep anything that discharges anything away from you. which sounds good if you're laughing and crying at the same time let's keep anything that discharges anything away from you if you're laughing and crying at the same time while having a fight with your girlfriend and then ordered to stay away from her for two years never be in possession of a weapon you are a completely never unstable madman we don't need this no shit may 23rd 2016 thought it couldn't get weirder about to get weirder he causes 90 000 dollars in damages to a mercedes rental car and fails to reimburse the car company's owner that's the whole car what that's the whole guy might have been like a maybach or something though we don't know that yeah one of those fuckers so the this is um wow this leads to four days later, outside the Trump Soho in New York City in May 27, 2016, Manziel's SUV is blocked in by what's called a fleet of cars from Precision Concierge, the company that he fucked over.

And he's confronted about the owner. They block him in and then the owner goes, get out of the car, Johnny. I want to talk to you. I want my 90 grand. Oh, man. This Schneider guy tells TMZ, quote, he's been dodging me for a month and a half. I try to keep giving him opportunities not to go to court and be like men and handle our business. But he's not doing it.

We're going to be like men, Johnny. Get the fuck out of the car. Get out of the car, out of the car little buddy oh man june 5th 19 or 2016 uh he's getting sued for 40 000 not for damaging a rental car but instead damaging a los angeles mansion he rented in april he's such a fucking cunt why does he do this he's just such an asshole he's a fucking idiot okay june 24th of this this is amazing johnny's lawyer sends accidental text messages indicating a plea deal what this is fucking amazing okay um yeah he sent accidental text messages out to uh the associated press rather than, you know, his colleagues or Johnny. So he expressed doubts during these text messages.

He expresses doubts about Johnny's ability to stay clean and was said that he was given a receipt that shows Johnny spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store 15 hours after he was involved in the hit and run crash. Oh, my God. Oh, man. So, yeah, he said that Johnny also he said that Manziel's father. This is the time that Manziel's father. We're going to have the quotes here. Paul tells ESPN that his son is a druggie who needs help. Holy shit. paul tells espn that his son is a druggie who needs help yeah holy shit um the uh attorney

in his text messages said quote heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle he's gonna be doing drugs that's amazing his lawyer his lawyer's praying to christ his lawyer was yeah his lawyer's telling one Christ. His lawyer was... Yeah. His lawyer's telling one of his colleagues, haven't helped us if one of these conditions for his plea, because he's going to plea.

Hopefully he doesn't have to pee in a bottle because that's not going to work. Dear Christ, we're in a lot of trouble. Holy shit. Paul told, interview told the newspaper, he's a druggie.

It's not a secret that he's a druggie. I don't know what you have to say other than my son is a druggie and he needs help. He said he hasn't sought it yet. Hopefully he doesn't die before he comes to his senses. That's about all you can say. I don't know what else I can say. And they asked him if you tried interventions and all this.

And he says, you have no idea. The system failed. I had him in rehab and he escaped and the doctors let him go. And that's a whole other story. So, I mean, I had him in rehab and the system failed. It didn't work. No, it's that he has to want to go there. Right. And if he's if you have to physically restrain him, it's not going to work. He then said, quote, he has more money than me so he can outrun me. Like I said, this is his is his dad like i said there are two things that are going to happen he's either going to die or he's going to figure out that he needs help it's one

of the two but we've done everything that we can to that we can do life goes on you just can't chase somebody that's not willing to listen the story is not going to change it's the same uh and they said um he's exhausted all ways of avenues. He knows how to help him. And he says, we're so far past that. That was years ago. We're so far past what everybody thinks we are past. People are ignorant.

It's just a horrible story. That's all there is to it. I mean, I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail. I hope. I mean, that would be the best place for him. That's where Paul is at already. He hopes he goes to jail. He says, well, that where Paul is at already? He hopes he goes to jail. That's where Paul's at.

I hope he goes to jail. So this, talk about tip of the iceberg. We've seen the tip. His family's seen the iceberg, and they're like, you think you're annoyed? We've been dealing with this shit for 10 years. You fucking idiots. He said that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore paul says i'm done i'm done talking about it i'm doing my job and i'm gonna move on if i have to bury him

i'll bury him oh my god wow that's the fact so if not if he calls me and needs help i'll go get him until then he's on his own i've done everything i do. There's nothing else I can do as a father. Nothing. It is what it is. He's a druggie, and everybody needs to accept that. Oh, dear fuck. If he wants to get better, I'll help him. If not, I'm not doing it anymore. Then they said, well, how about your wife, Michelle, his mom?

And she said, we're done. He said, we're done. We don't have the energy to spend anymore. We're done. I'm not going to keep talking about it. I'm moving on. Wow. This is a lot here. The text message is about the text message about the drug paraphernalia shit was, quote, heads up receipt, which purports reports purports to reflect that Johnny made purchases of one thousand eighteen dollars and seventy seven77 at a gas pipe store at 12.03 p.m. Yeah. So they said that the scientist store says ID is required for purchases of more than 200. They don't know about that.

We're trying to hunt down. Is there a receipt? Is there this or that? Who fucking cares at this point? I think dad's saying he's a druggie. We all know it. I think that's about yeah enough anyway of that so september 6th he should be good now right he's gotta lay low well instead he's in austin and uh a bar employee files a lawsuit against him saying that johnny punched him in the back so there you go. And also broke his nose.

Yeah. Yep. He said the state of the employee was working as a bar back at a bar called New York, New York, when Manziel demanded drinks from him. The man told him he could not take his order because he wasn't a bartender. Later, a member of Manziel's group heard the employee talking about Manziel to a different customer. Manziel then allegedly approached the employee after learning about the conversation

and the lawsuit states that Manziel ran behind the bar, cursed at the employee and punched him in the face. The lawsuit says it broke his nose. Then the employee said that he grabbed Manziel causing him to fall to the floor and Manziel took off after that.

He went out the back exit like a turd. Yeah. Just slipped right out. Shit himself out on the streets of Austin. So he's being sued for $200,000 for that. October 4, 2016, suspension is lifted by the commissioner of football. So there's that. He can come back.

Problem is nobody has any interest in him. Nobody else gives a shit. Nope. So 2018 now, a year and a half goes by. He is talking about signing with the Hamilton Tiger Cats or the Montreal Alouettes maybe. Wow. He's in negotiation with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League. And yeah, they're talking to him.

And they said that he was put through a series of physical and medical tests and you know he might be there let's see he could be the guy we could he could make for i mean people come out just to watch the train wreck at that point so um mansell's agent by eric burkhardt is back now so he's got him again he responded to the tiger cats offer stating that hamilton uh had till the responded to the Tiger Cats offer stating that Hamilton had till the end of the month to offer his client a fair deal. Failure to do so would result

in Manziel turning his attention to several other professional options. Huh? What are they? What was that now? What professional options? Then the Tiger Cats said that they broke off negotiations with uh with manziel and uh then the same day he agreed to play in the spring league a non-paying

developmental league for the 2018 season he was quarterback at the texas a&m 2018 pro day throwing passes to draft prospects from texas a&m so yeah um there's that uh so he also wanted to show that he could throw the ball because there's all sorts of every team is there right so um yep uh may 3rd uh the domestic violence case against him has closed uh and after he completed the terms of the plea deal and And there's that. So it's all good. He's good now. May 19, 2008, he and the Tiger Cats announced that they have agreed to a two-year contract. So he sits on their bench for six weeks, doesn't play.

And then they trade him to the Montreal Alouettes. Oh. So there's that. They trade him to... I didn't even know they could trade you in Canada. Like, I came all the way here, you're going to trade me now? I guess they can do anything they want, right? Yeah, they said that he was traded to give him a better chance

at receiving playing time. That was the problem. So July 31st, 2018, they announced that Johnny will start the next game against the Tiger Cats there. Oh, he's going to play against his former team? This is a rivalry. He's going to dominate, right?

I mean, this is going to be in his element. Well, by the first half of his first CFL start, he threw four interceptions. Four. The team lost 50-11. That's so good yeah it's it's not great man uh in the third quarter he received a hard hit to the head and fumbled the ball at the goal line oh no recovered for a touchdown uh he was placed on the injured list as well and uh he's got a concussion up there now yeah so not wonderful uh mansell's not doing great uh at all he does have a 64.2 percentage completion percentage which is great but only five touchdowns and seven picks for montreal so that's not great at all

it's tough when you start out with four on the first day. His base, day one, his base salary is 120 grand. So things are going terribly, Jimmy. They're going so bad. So what do you do when things are going super bad and it's not great? Miss Crowley, will you marry me? Not her. She's done with him. She's quitting, huh? She's done with him. She's quitting, huh?

She's done with him. She's moved on. But he does marry a different woman. Oh? Yep. She's like, me and the Browns, Andrew Rosenhouse, and Nike, and your publicist, and Eric Burkhart, and, you know, Hugh Jackson, Roger Goodell, Peyton Manning, LeBron James. I lebron james i could go on we're all pretty much done archie manning eli i'm sure by association he's fisty got drug into this who's the kid now

that's like a freshman or something that one arch man arched him he hates him too he gets married to he gets married is what he does obviously gets married to um a an instagram model named brie tiesi t-i-e-s-i okay random pretty girl on instagram who knows yeah so uh february 2019 february 27th he gets kicked out of the CFL. You got married good. We're going to divorce you. Yep. They said that he's been instructed to, the league has been instructed to terminate his contract because he

contravened the agreement, which made him eligible to play in the league. Alouette's general manager said, we're very disappointed in this. Johnny was provided a great deal of support by our organization in collaboration with the CFL, but he has been unable to abide by the terms of his agreement. So, yeah, we don't know what the fuck that is. Drinking, drugging, staying out late. I mean, who the hell knows?

But he's trying to get some kind of negotiations, I guess, on this to get a payout or a buyout or something. For what? 50 grand? I mean, I don't know. So he doesn't know what he's going to do here. He said, this is what Johnny said, that's the scary thing about my mental health. That's a bad, by the way, opening. Not good.

That's the scary thing about my mental health. Continue, Johnny, as you step back two steps. Yeah. If I don't continuously take care of it and make it the biggest priority in my life, I'm going to struggle. That's hard to say. You're making mental health a priority over your job. Well, there is no job without my mental health. There is no life.

There is no family for me without my head. Yeah, that's actually. That's what it is if you thought of that a while back you'd have been in a better spot here so on march 16th 2019 finally johnny is back in football oh he's must be he's feeling good well sort of he signs with the alliance of american football the aaf so not really not really the san antonio commanders had the first opportunity to sign him but they elected to waive his rights as a result he was signed to the memphis express through the waiver system because their quarterback zach mettenberger remember that guy um he uh he got hurt and

then christian hackenberg they also have another fucking draft bus, Penn State guy. So Manziel makes his debut against the Birmingham Iron here and plays three drives and concusses himself. No, I'm kidding. He doesn't concuss himself. Next week, in a game against the Orlando Apollos, he's removed from the game due to a concussion suffered while attempting to make a tackle after throwing an interception. You fucking moron. He got a concussion after making a mistake. Three days later, the AAF shut down, so he got a concussion for nothing.

Absolute nothing. Poor bastard. Nobody even won. Nobody even cared or won or did anything of the matter. I didn't realize he was a part of that whole thing. Yep. For a minute. 2019, Johnny and his wife are separated. Why is that?

That didn't last long. It lasted less than a year. She said, quote, you've been married. This is what she posted on social media. You've been married. You've been betrayed. I don't do betrayal this is what she posted on social media. You've been married. You've been betrayed. I don't do betrayal for a person I was devoted to. Period.

Vows were broken. Fuck money and fuck you and every other loser on here. She wrote to somebody on there. Holy shit. She is fucking taking a flamethrower to that. That is the most fuck it all i've ever heard from from somebody i've never heard that's fuck you every other loser on here you fucking eat my shit we'll catch up to her by the way really she is she's good at catching things we'll say watch this wait till you hear

this later on she's a peach i like her she well for a quarterback she's a hell of a good receiver so uh you'll know what i mean in a minute june 28th 2020 manziel tells the lubbock avalanche journal that football is now in his past we know not voluntarily but it's in your past you wish We've all checked out on you, Johnny. You wish it wasn't, but unfortunately it is. Yeah, it is. So September 2020, he's asked about potentially playing in the XFL, and he said, quote, I think football is a little bit behind me. Football for me is not in the forefront of my mind. He did say he didn't completely rule out coming out of retirement, though,

because he said Dwayne Johnson. He said, listen, anything the rock touches is going to be gold as always. So who knows? December 30th, 2020. Johnny's back in football. He signs with the fan controlled football league. What the fuck is that? December 30th, 2020.

The what? This is some like COVID shit where you're in your house if you can't december 30th 2020 it's the it's said to be quote the only professional sports league that empowers fans to call the plays in real time i would be sending so many blitzes at him there's a reason for that that you don't the only league that lets them do that i would be sending so many blitzes at him. There's a reason for that, that you don't, the only league that lets them do that. I would be sending all out blitz every time he snaps the ball. This isn't Madden. You don't get to control human beings and how they move around like that. That's crazy.

Holy shit. This is wild. So 2014, they said, we're excited for Johnnyny to join the fcf and finally have a chance to be himself both on and off the field we don't give a fuck what he does that's what he said don't care yeah this is we're paying him in coke we don't give a fuck so rob farudi said that i think this is a saudi endeavor if i'm not mistaken okay um they said he's embracing the opportunity to engage with fans in a way no other league has provided him in the past a mic'd up unfiltered johnny football with a live stream helmet cam and fans calling the

plays is gonna be epic that's what he says i love the idea but you're gonna get somebody killed it's the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my life it really is it's the stupidest thing it's hilarious but it's oh absolutely i want to get some concussions going he said football has always been a huge part of my life and the opportunity to join the fcf was just too good to pass up it's doing something new and original in sports a league that's truly all about the fans and letting them call all the shots i can't wait to get started this is gonna be fun you idiot wow so uh there's different teams the beasts they feature marshall lynch and wrestler miro um myiro, Miro, I don't know, fucking new guys.

The Glacier Boys featuring hip-hop mogul Quavo. Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman is on this team. And YouTube sensation D-Stroying. The what? YouTube sensation? This is what I mean. YouTube sensation. Some guy who owns a record company. This is what I mean. YouTube sensation. Some guy who owns a record company.

This isn't football. The Wild Aces, which feature Greg Miller of Kinda Funny. I don't know what that is. And Austin Ekeler, who used to be on the Chargers. And then the Zappers, who feature New York Mets pitcher Trevor May and sportscaster Bob Mennery. What? What the fuck is going on? What position does Bob Mennery play?

I'm the fucking announcer. What is this? I don't know. He missed the Week 3 game due to a dental emergency, Johnny does, and he is pulled from the semifinal playoff matchup, which featured him reuniting with Josh Gordon for poor performance. He got yanked from a fan-controlled football league game. He got yanked from that.

What the fuck is going on? And he's got dental issues? Is he doing meth now? What the fuck is going on? And he's got dental issues? Is he doing meth now? What the fuck is wrong with this kid? I don't know. He made around $1,600 to $3,000 a month from that league, by the way. So that wasn't for the money, obviously. He wasn't doing it.

For him, that's nothing. So he comes back for the next year as well. In a total of five games played in two years. in a total of five games played in in two years um and he is 24 of 50 which is not even 50 percent with three touchdowns and no interceptions i got news for whoever promoted this horse shit you did a terrible job because i've never heard of this it's um never even heard of it great idea if you if you do it right but this is just piss poor this nobody even sent it to us no yeah people said all about the af nothing about this nothing november 2021 johnny and uh and her his wife here have finalized their divorce and are now exchanging barbs on social media which is very nice um so uh february 1st 2022 oh my god this is three

fucking months later yeah nick cannon announces he's expecting the birth of his 114th child or some shit yeah with instagram model brie ta, whatever the fuck. Johnny's ex-wife is now one of Nick Cannon's many, many, many, many human baby carriers. Congrats, Johnny. They hosted a gender, I remember this, just the last Nick Cannon gender reveal party that people were laughing at. Oh, he's had three since this. Yeah, she was on it. So there you go.

That's Johnny Manziel knowing he's got that going on. That is amazing. What a fucking disaster. I can't believe it. I mean, everybody knows that he's a giant fucking loser and that he threw everything away for nothing. Fuck yeah. For literally nothing. James, he had- All the crazy happened in the last 11 years he packed all that into.

Yeah. That's wild. And I saw him at that Suns game when the Suns lost their biggest loss ever. And we were on the patio, me and my kids, getting lunch. And he walked by and there was a bunch of people talking to him. My son goes, who's that? And I pointed at him. I said, son, that's the biggest loser on earth.

And he looked at me right when i said it and it felt so good and he just threw a water bottle at you and hit your son instead by accident hit your daughter in the forehead as she came out of the bathroom and eight feet away from my daughter's face into the into the windshield of a dodge charger but look i got to call him fucking unbelievable so that is Johnny Manziel, everybody. We've been asked for it since the beginning, but we knew he would take a while to kind of marinate and percolate. And he was ripe for the picking at this point. Oh, my God.

And he seems to have calmed down a little bit. Hey, you know what? I hope the guy gets his shit together. He's a fucking disaster. I don't care about him. I'm talking for everybody else. He's a menace otherwise if he doesn't get it together. Yeah.

Stop getting hit in the head. Stop drinking. Stop doing drugs. Just keep golfing, sir. Stay on the golf course. Yeah. And don't drive. Maybe a little.

That kind of guy, a little humbleness might go a long way with him. A little nobody cares about you might actually be the thing that makes him go huh i'm just a normal person like everyone else and can't act like a cunt holy shit i'm just an average five foot seven guy yeah that's all just a little average little guy trying to get by in the world missing people with water bottles so if you like that story or any of the others like we said get on apple podcast whatever other app you listen on and give five stars.
