[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!

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 .

It would be nice to find a photo of the guy who took this photo and tried to ruin Manziel and post a photo of him cheating on his wife or something like that. Why would anyone go out of their way to mess with a kid who is just a few months away from being 21 and just won his first big Bowl game. Dude isn't hurting anyone. Leave him the hell alone and let him celebrate his victory and his great season.

He turned 20 in Dec, so not quite a few months away. But, TMZ did put up a follow up story acknowledging that he was there with his parents, which makes it legal in TX.

haters gonna hate.

It's just that mentality to try and ruin someone that I don't like. This kid isn't a jerk off like Cam Newton and his parents were or like Reggie Bush. He was a kid that a lot of schools wouldn't even recruit as a QB. Let this guy bask in his glory. He deserves it. Instead someone is trying to push a scandal on him and attempt to be the guy who got him suspended from the NCAA. Just sad.

All I know is I wouldn't have been mature enough to handle winning the Heisman at 20 years old. Can't imagine cameras snapping pictures of some of the things I was doing during that time.

Wasn't Johnny football arrest and charged with 3 crimes already? (Fighting some 50 year old man after his racist friend insulted him, and then giving the cops a fake id...)

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.

Could care less about Johny Football having a fake ID. Wo!! A college kid with a fake ID? Who would have thought about that one. When I was 18 years old, I had probably the best fake ID I had ever seen. Took it with me to Vegas and gambled the entire vacation with my parents right there with me. My parents and I had a hell of a time together gambling. You seem to forget that certain states like Louisianna are thinking about lowering the drinking age it's so freaking stupid.

Either way, I have not seen or heard about anything thuggish from Manziel. I haven't seen him trying to go out of his way to get in the limelight either. If I'm not mistaken didn't he hide from the media for many weeks and just focused on football?? He may be everywhere right now, but shoot he just won the Heisman. He has no choice. Let him enjoy the moment while he still can. The only thing I fear for him is that it might be way to much to fast all of a sudden and he might lose focus. I'm not even an A&M fan, but I do root for most Texas teams after my Longhorns. Manziel is very exciting and I don't see the problematic stuff in him that you're reffering to.

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.

[Texn4life]

I had one of my fake ID's taken from me at a club in College Station when I was younger. Go figure!
