[TMZ] Manziel poppin' bottles at a club

[gg no re]

Yes, he's not 21 yet. He is Johnny Footballin' though.

Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel -- aka Johnny Football -- celebrated his team's recent big victory with a bottle of Dom Perignon -- the only problem is ... he's 20.

Manziel and his Texas A&M Aggies destroyed Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on Friday, 41-13. On Saturday night, Manziel hit up Avenue Lounge in Dallas and as you can see in the pics ... he rather enjoyed himself.

We're told when the pics were taken, Johnny was hanging out with a small group of people in an area behind the DJ booth.

Manziel doesn't turn 21 until December and the club is a 21 and over place.

SHOCKER ... college kid drinking!

Legendary huh?

I wonder how many of the hypocrites had a drink before turning 21 ....

If I get stoned and party all night long it's a position tradition .

Manziel didn't hide from the media. Sumlin has a policy where he doesn't let freshmen talk to reporters.

He made an exception once he was considered a legit heismann candidate.

No, he waited until after the last regular season game. Manziel was allowed to talk to the media after the Missouri game.

20 year old kid. Tons of fame. How well would you handle it?

Yeah, I just remember hearing that he didn't talk to the media when the season was on, and I sort of liked that. Didn't know all the reasons or that is was a tam rule. Good for Sumlin. I like that policy.

I'm not defending selling secret pictures to TMZ, but at some point, 'famous' athletes need to grow up and realize that their actions garner attention. From the criminal charges to the scooby doo pictures, etc. Some NCAA players act like pros from an early stage and try to stay out of the public eye. Johnny Football seems to like the fame, and unfortunately, in our society, you get the good with the bad when you put yourself into that position.

You can definitely tell that Johnny likes his fun time.

I don't think anything is wrong with that as long as you can focus when its time to.

Only time will tell if he can find a good balance that will allow him continued success outside of his party life and public persona.

I'd say he's off to a damn good start after being in the spotlight the past few weeks, winning the Heisman, doing TV shows and partying with hotties. Even after all those distractions he was ready to kick the **** out of OU. I think he'll be just fine.

I agree with Dutch, I think he answered that question Friday night.

I'd have handled it just fine.

I'm talking about the long haul. Vy appeared to have been able to handle all that stuff too.

College is not hard for talented guys like that. He could probably party all night and perform just fine in a game the next day.

Yeesh. You realize Manziel tried to break up the fight between his friend and the other guy, and the other guy wouldn't stop throwing punches so they got into it, right? And he had a fake ID, but hell. He's not smoking pot or snorting crack or shooting up heroin or something. In the Scooby Doo pics he's with girls at a halloween party. Not strippers. Probably students. Big deal. What's he supposed to be doing, wearing monk robes and practicing celibacy? It's not like it affected his prep for games.

He's not a thug, he's not a criminal. He's a guy who's really damn good at his sport, really famous, and maybe just a little immature, but are you going to attack every twenty year old for being immature? He's in college. If he's this way in the pros, that may be concerning, but so long as it's harmless stuff I see no reason to rag on him.

Well hopefully he continues to mature. around Kerrville there were rumors about a Fredericksburg wal-mart when he was in high school

If it hasn't been said before, this is not Texans Worthy.
