Manziel Reportedly Showed Up To A Wednesday Practice Hammered Drunk
According to NFL Network’s Mike Silver, Johnny Manziel showed up drunk to a practice late in the season. It was a week in which he was projected as the starter.

Also according to Silver’s report, the Browns lied about the incident and instead informed the media that the reason Manziel was not practicing was that he was undergoing concussion protocols — in effect, enabling Manziel.
I have this theory that I’m sure is 100% dead on: An elevated BAC is actually a performance enhancer in very mechanically-centric sports. These sports include ones that take years to fine-tune and master, requiring laser focus. These sports are also ones that don’t require much physical exertion, because alcohol severely inhibits that. Take golf, for example. Mechanics and mental focus are vital in golf. The higher the BAC, the less your mind gets in the way, the less you think about your mechanics, the more free-flowing your swing is, and the better you play.
I’m actually pitching a video idea to our friends at Callaway about this theory. Maybe a spin on that Sports Science segment that’s so popular. They’d fly me out somewhere, hook me up to a computer, start funneling cheap beer down my throat, and hand me a 7-iron. Then boom, I’m a genius.
Anyway, football is definitely not one of these sports..

10 years ago at 1:04 pmI’ve supported this guy throughout but I think it’s time he takes a hard look at himself before he really fucks up. If the allegations of breaking his ex’s eardrum are true, yikes. Nothing pretty about Manziel anymore. I think he’s finally worn out his welcome even amongst his supporters. Guy needs some serious help.
10 years ago at 1:05 pmNot yet qualifying Johnny Manziel’s last 24 months as really fucking up. TFM.
10 years ago at 2:01 pm*Funneling jizz down your throat
10 years ago at 1:05 pmBest thing that can happen for everybody is that he cut ties with that blood sucking, coke snorting, alcohol through an IV taking, whore around on everything with a dick, cash vacuum he calls a girlfriend.
10 years ago at 1:10 pmI know she’s an ex, but cut her off bro. When the hand has gangrene, you chop it off to save the body. You don’t keep the pinky around because it meant well.
10 years ago at 1:14 pmKeeping the pinky around after the breakup. TFM
10 years ago at 1:33 pmSounds kinky. I like where this is heading
10 years ago at 1:34 pmAs a browns fan, I feel like the organization has done a terrible job handling this situation. Yes Manziel like to drink, you knew this before he was drafted. So why as an organization would you be so upset you bench him for a video showing him LEGALLY drinking, and doing nothing wrong. Then when he does something really wrong, you cover it up. Johnny has been fucking up hard these last couple months, but the team isn’t helping at all.
10 years ago at 1:11 pmPersonal responsibility is the single most important factor determining your outcome in life, If you don’t believe that, your probably a liberal. It’s not the Brown’s job to coddle him. None of us know how they handled this issue privately. They may very well have been urging him to go back to rehab. He’s a grown man, he needs to help himself before other people can help him. I hope he does get better.
10 years ago at 11:52 pmyeah but they pay him so in the end they can do what ever they want
10 years ago at 1:24 amYeah, you shouldn’t post anything about this guy until the police’s domestic violence investigation is over. We should all be rooting for Manziel to excel in football. But if the woman beating accusations are true, fuck’em. If it’s true or not, no NFL team will ever sign this guy.
10 years ago at 1:15 pm“We should all be rooting for Manziel to excel in football.”
10 years ago at 2:27 pmWhat? Why? He’s not on all of our fantasy teams…
Yeah, I don’t know. But him basically being a real life Alex Moran and his commitment to partying at all costs was hilarious before all the recent stuff.
10 years ago at 2:44 pmSup Dorn when are we playing golf?
10 years ago at 1:16 pmI don’t buy anything that girlfriend is saying. If he would have hit her, she would have bruises and his ass would have gotten arrested on the spot. Case closed. BUT a busted ear drum?!?! I bet her lawyer came up with that one. Fucking TCU girls.
10 years ago at 1:19 pmYeah…?
10 years ago at 2:13 pmOr, you know, he could’ve hit her once on the side of the head with an open palm. That certainly wouldn’t leave multiple bruises, and possibly not any marks at all. Look, women do occasionally lie/embellish, but don’t assume that she is just because you like Manziel.
10 years ago at 3:06 pmI understand your point, but when did enraged males start punching ears?
10 years ago at 5:29 pmHe didn’t have to be aiming for her ear to hit it. Like maybe she was getting all up in his face, bitching him out. If they were close together like that, unless he takes a step back he can’t hit her square in the face. So she’s screaming in his face, he gets pissed off, and swings at the side of her head in the heat of the moment. It’s a pretty plausible situation.
10 years ago at 11:02 pmHahahahaha so TFM. An alcoholic, woman beating, overrated football player. That’s so awesome.
Fuck this guy. I’d rather attend a nightly Hilary rally than hear another pathetic news story about this human piece of garbage.
10 years ago at 1:24 pmWhy’d you click then?
10 years ago at 2:36 pmTo tell you to eat shit.
10 years ago at 2:52 pmAttending a Hilary rally. NF.
10 years ago at 7:46 pmI love Johnny, but if he keeps this shit up he won’t be in the league for very long
10 years ago at 2:25 pmWhy I am I getting lapped for something that is 100% true
10 years ago at 4:46 pmI don’t know. Maybe the report from last week indicating the Browns will can his ass in March when they get the free cap room?
