when being told he's a dumb ass and about to get a hefty fine.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:06 AM ^
saying , 'aw fu....' stay classy, cleveland.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:11 AM ^
What a historic video. It isn't very often that a 22 year old is told he did something wrong for the very first time in his life and it's caught on film.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:28 AM ^
First time?
August 19th, 2014 at 8:58 AM ^
What. Johnny Manziel strikes you as a guy who has had strict discipline in his life? From anyone?
August 19th, 2014 at 9:06 AM ^
No, but you said "told he did something wrong." It's a good day for me when I can get from dawn to dusk without being told, myself, that Johnny Manziel did something wrong.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:42 AM ^
first time? Where have you been.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:47 AM ^
You think anyone at A&M had the balls to tell Johny Football he was in the wrong?
That's not the SEC/Texas Football Hero way.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
Your avatar... it pleases the gods.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:39 AM ^
His "mentor" in the tie looks like he's done this a hundred times before. That's probably his only job . . . tell dumb ass players they fucked up then tabulate the bill.
August 19th, 2014 at 11:35 AM ^
Sounds like a fun job. Where do I send my resume?
August 19th, 2014 at 9:58 AM ^
Johny is demonstrating that he still has his bow plucking finger with which he will volley arrows at the Redskins?
August 19th, 2014 at 7:18 AM ^
The price is right fail horn
August 19th, 2014 at 7:25 AM ^
I'm curious to see what the reaction to this will be. Vicks finger was the beginning of the end for him in Atlanta. Well his end had more to do with the dogs than anything else, but the finger then water bottle were incidents that preceded the dogs.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:27 AM ^
I honestly don't foresee Manziel has a long or meaningful career in the League.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:45 AM ^
I agree ... I've long viewed Manziel as a crap shoot in the NFL.
Some (Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio) were high on him by association -- "Russell Wilson has similar build / style and he won a Super Bowl; ergo, Manziel can do it as well." I think Jon Gruden was also positive on Manziel.
The difference is Wilson is a smart, level-headed young man. Manziel not as much yet. Perhaps he'll settle down, though early evidence of that is inconclusive.
His hot-dogging at Texas A&M was entertaining for college football, but I never saw it playing well in the NFL. The defenses are too good ... his room for improvisation much less.
I think in the NFL the QB role is more about smart execution first, then athleticism. In college a QB can get by on athleticism. Not in the NFL ... the QB there better have the proper mind for the game to succeed.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:32 AM ^
I can't believe Cleveland used a 1st round pick on him.
Actually yes, I can.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:33 AM ^
Phew, for a minute there I was afraid I was going to see a gif of Johnny Football pooping in a cooler.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:51 AM ^
Well played
August 19th, 2014 at 8:10 AM ^
Sadly, this is exactly what I was hoping for.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:39 AM ^
Man, we've got a lot of crotchety people on this board. You can't both complain that Hoke never says anything interesting and also rag on someone like Manziel. At least interesting things happen when Manziel plays and talks.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:46 AM ^
are you reaching. You came on this Board saying " I am going to find something to disagree with RIGHT NOW" and clicked until you found something. Mission accomplished.
Johnny Manziel flips of the Washington Redskin bench and it somehow, some way relates to Brady Hoke's media relations?
August 19th, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
Welll...I could really hear birds being flipped out there. Johnny did a tremendous job with his finger placement.

Man, read my previous posts. I don't troll. This is something I legitimately think. People, including many Michigan fans from what I've seen here and elsewhere, like to have it both ways when it comes to the way sport types interact with the game and the media. Personally, I don't particularly like Johnny Football overall, but I like that despite numerous attempts to crush his spirit, he still plays football and carries about his business on his own terms.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
I was skeptical initially, but I'd give so much to see Hoke run onto the field every Saturday, home and away, flipping the double-bird. That'd be the best.
August 19th, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
you're one of my favorite posters.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:43 AM ^
I react the same way to hecklers.
August 19th, 2014 at 7:57 AM ^
...and this is a surprise to whom????
August 19th, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
spent 25% of its show this morning talking about Manziel and RGIII in a pre-season game.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:04 AM ^
The Yankees were off last night.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:09 AM ^
It's better than hearing more about the clippers' offseason
August 19th, 2014 at 8:12 AM ^
How did they tie Tebow and Lebron into it to make a full show?

almost every sporting event from the day before, just the sports part. They used to spend like 3-4 minutes on every baseball game, you could see how the game progresses, no talking heads and built in 6pack question ads. Now you see just one homerun from a game sometimes, just 3 dunks and a block from a basketball game, and then like 30 minutes if two guys arguing. Its garbage, ever since the Vick and Farve SC fiascos I have watched NBC sports in the morning.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:06 AM ^
so out of character for him
August 19th, 2014 at 8:08 AM ^
To the crowd or to the Washington bench?
August 19th, 2014 at 8:09 AM ^
booing him at the time.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:39 AM ^
Ryan Clark of the Redskins said that a statement from the Redskins sideline was made something like, "This ain't college anymore and people here are faster than you". Clark, as I am too, is paraphrasing because of course there were probably a few choice words and statements sprinkled in there too.
August 19th, 2014 at 10:18 AM ^
The Washington bench must have ignored the fact that the 'Skins would lose to 'Bama, Auburn, and LSU and finish 5-3 in the SEC West.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:13 AM ^
As a Browns fan, I love it.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:22 AM ^
Well, per USA Today, Mike Pettine was not altogether pleased (LINK):
"It does not sit well," Pettine said of the rookie's loss of composure after the Browns' 24-23 loss at FedEx Field. "I was informed right after the game. And it's disappointing to me because we talk about being poised, being focused. You have to be able to maintain your poise. ... That's a big part of all football players, especially your quarterback.
He didn't indicate that this would factor into the ultimate decision as to who will start, but there was definitely some unhappiness from the Browns' staff.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:26 AM ^
Who cares if he flipped the Redskins off? I like it. I flip people off, a lot of people need to get flipped off. Seriously, OMG he flipped someone off. SOOO CRAZZZZYYY.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:31 AM ^
I absolutely hate the media, and I get no media attention. I can't imagine how much BS Manziel has to deal with because he likes playing a game. Who the hell cares what he does in his personal life, not my problem, not your problem. He's not hurt anyone as far as I know. P.S. This is me venting about the current state of the medial/social media.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:07 AM ^
No big surprise. But he is just kinda douchey...in a spoiled child, dickish, kind of way. People will either love him or think he's a jerk. It takes the media for that on this level. He won't love the media, but I would bet he appreciates what he gets as a result of the media.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:36 AM ^
Free cars and a reach around from the sales manager.
August 19th, 2014 at 8:51 AM ^
Is going to be absolutely spectacular to watch.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:03 AM ^
What grace does he have to fall from? I honestly don't get ESPNs obsession with him. He was a good qb in college, but not spectacular in my opinion and not the type that would excel in the NFL.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:03 AM ^
Dude just tell the sideline "F you" like how dumb can you be Johnny?
August 19th, 2014 at 9:18 AM ^
Hard core browns fan and have no problem with the bird although it was juvenile.
What I have a problem with was how shitty both he and Hoyer looked.
August 19th, 2014 at 9:22 AM ^
There is zero surprise...JM did something juvenile.
