Johnny Football

Will be a one and done.

I don't think we'll see him this season.  He still has a month to go, and he simply cannot stay out of trouble.

Latest is he went to a frat party and was thrown out by Texas fans who threw beer at him.  Then a picture emerged of him smoking pot. 

My prediction now is that something will happen that gets him suspended.

This is very old and fake.

Proves nothing.

Proves nothing.

It proves that a certain other fanbase and state media hates the guy and is scared to death of him. Hence the need to dig up old pics, fake pics and make a big to-do about him sleeping through his alarm at the manning passing camp from being exhausted and on the go. Peyton even said it wasn't a big deal. But leave it to our state media and the Espn homos to turn it into something to make him look very bad while making AJ McTattoo look good. Ya know ole AJ is a leader. Tried to wake him up and everything. What a guy!

Pretty obvious to me a few minor things are being blown up for the very purpose of what it is causing amongst fans and the media. I think the kid will have a more down year compared to last year simply because other teams see him coming now and he lost 2 linemen to the nfl. But it's seems there is an effort to squash him totally before the season even starts. Remember Cam guys. Same shit here.

Remember Cam guys. Same shit here.

I was with you until this.

Cam was an upstanding citizen being shredded in the media and by other fanbases for no reason.  Johnny Manziel was pictured with a bong.  He was thrown out of a frat party.  He was sent home by Archie Manning. He has been pictured over and over again engaging in the party scene. 

It's nothing like Cam.

It's nothing like Cam.

yeah, Manziel does not ride a scooter across aTm's campus like a god in a chariot

I have trouble envisioning a gladiator on a scooter but I can see Cam in a chariot.

[Kaos]

Everybody just chill. 

JM is gonna light it up this fall.  You'll see.  He will get out there on that grass and be blazing.

It's the same in the fact that it's a slander job being done to someone who is a threat. Cam had a few questionable things in his past. Was no big deal to me. Forgive and forget right? Then at the most opportune time, bring the shit to light. Same thing is happening here. Sure Manziel has done a few questionable things. I don't think he's a bad guy. I think a lot of this is being blown up purposely. Wasn't really comparing them side by side as people. I think they are both victims of the same process.

While agree that Bama is a little more adamant to tear Manziel down for obvious reasons, I do think his behavior is way out of line. It would be a complete embarrassment if he were an Auburn player.

Can you imagine if this were Cam? Or any black QB for that matter? How much would he be branded as a thug?

This is very old and fake.

Proves nothing.

You have a knack for saying untrue things with a pomposity that makes people not question them.

Very old, yes (three months). How are you so positive that it is fake? That is clearly not a photoshop. It is very easy to spot a photoshop when scrutinized, and that is not one.

And it does prove something. It proves he was taking bong hits. That is embarrassing for Texas A&M.

I'm not saying these kids have got to be saints, but they do represent their school in a way that normal students do not. Having some decent self control is part of the price of being a college football player, let alone a superstar like Manziel. It's kind similar to the Anthony Weiner situation. It's not that he got caught. It's that he got caught and STILL pathologically cannot STOP, despite the fact that it is clearly jeopardizing his career.

Sure. It's embarrassing. But to the level you're seeing in the media? No. The passing camp sleep in was the biggest bunch of nothing ever. From everything I've read deciphering through the ESPN rhetoric it was mutual thing more along the lines of "hey Johnny, you know you've had a pretty busy last couple of weeks. You look exhausted. Why dont you head out early and get some rest. It's pretty apparent you're tired". To which he agreed. That was pretty much the Mannings' side. But to hear ESPN tell it? Fucker went out to tit bars, got plastered and missed the next days camp hungover. What a creep! And AJ, well - he tried to be the big brother. He tried to wake him. Because that's just how grown and mature he is. What a bunch of crap.

[The Six]

Leave AJ McTattoo out of this.

Manziel is acting just like Lindsey Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Britney Spears from a few years ago. He's one a one way ticket to a speedy crash landing.

Should he be a saint? Who was in their 20s? Is what he's doing different from a lot of American male college students? No, but he's not a regular American male college students. He gets benefits, opportunities, and stardom based on his abilities. Like it or not, that makes him a role model, a face of the program, etc. And now he's seemingly doing shoot just to reprove his point about wanting to just do what he wants and not giving a rip what anybody thinks.

When A&M gets dump trucked this year by a few teams, the guns are all gonna be on him. If he weren't in the news all the time for these kind of antics, the blame would be where it should be - the fact that they lost the lineman and the WRs. But it won't because he's made himself the target and he doesn't have the legs of credibility.

If he proves everyone wrong, goes out there balls to the wall and A&M wins big, then the egg will be on me and everyone else who thinks this guy needs to get his priorities in line.

Common sense says that won't happen.

When the "Johnny football" money stops coming in for aTm, they will address it. Until then Party on Wayne. Party on Garth!

Let's put the shoes on our feet.

What would be your reaction if JF was an Auburn player?

[Kaos]

I have a knack for speaking truths.  That's not pomposity.  It's just black and white.  Racist!

Very old, yes (three months). How are you so positive that it is fake? That is clearly not a photoshop. It is very easy to spot a photoshop when scrutinized, and that is not one.

Yeah. It is photoshopped. That's already been established. Pick any one of eleventy katillion sources. As someone who uses Photoshop on a semi-regular basis, I recognize it as an obvious hack job. And not even a good one.

And it does prove something. It proves he was taking bong hits. That is embarrassing for Texas A&M.

Does it?  I see no actual weed.  I don't even see it in his hand.  Can't really tell for sure it's him, actually.  For all you know the guy in the photo is waving it off or going to throw it out the window.

Ok, he's being stupid maybe.  But he clowned on us, he clowned on them, he clowned on Okie.  I wouldn't want to see pictures of Brandon Cox doing this, but you can bet your butt photos of this nature exist for half the players on all CFB teams in the country.  But nobody cares to see Jake Holland's pics.  Or AJ McTattoo's. 

And you said weiner.

[JR4AU]

It is much like Cam.  The media is hell-bent on taking him down.  Is he giving any and everybody ammunition?  Probably a little, but it doesn't take much really.  And, when he doesn't give it to them, the haters simply make it up.  At this point it would be impossible to sort out what is known, what he's done/not done, what's been blown way out of proportion twisted or embellished, and what's a damn lie.  They all get lumped together, and it all becomes "he's acting like Lindsay Lohan....blah blah blah".  When he actually gets arrested, or suspended from the team, then I'll pay attention.  Until then, it's a lot of noise made by a media and haters that love to see superstars knocked off their perch, and prefer it to be off the field rather than on the field by real competition.
