Manziel

I think it's very telling that this story has not been picked up by deadspin or yahoo. It's basically a strictly ESPN story, so far, which makes me believe that the NCAA hasn't formally begun anything against A&M or JF yet.

Channel 2 is about to have some news regarding Manziel.

The leading line was "Why manziel might be in more trouble now".

Let's see what they have to say.

$10 says its the Same stuff from rovell which is basically nothing new.
Rovell is trying to milk the story but nothing new has been presented.

Rovell definitely is hitching his ESPN career on this story. This is not what he normally does, and I know that the company values him. He better be right on this one though because he's going hard after Johnny boy. He's finding a lot of alleged smoke. Since he started this mess I believe he'll need to find some fire too.

I hope Manziel signs his name in the air as his TD celebration this season.

Now THAT would be awesome!!

Apparently there's a rumor that A&M has a signed affidavit from one of ESPN's sources that they were paid by someone to falsely accuse Manziel. Again a rumor but could be legit. This would sure open up Manziel suing them though wow.

If this somehow gets connect back to UT or a big TexEx that would be hilarious interesting.
 
I d heard that rumor too. But more importantly I heard from someone I k is to have very good sources that the investigation is closed and a&m and the NCAA are working on time g and statements to release to the media.
 
In no way is this official but there is a rumor running around campus that Johnny Manziel is suspended for the first half of the season opener against Rice.

Take it with a grain of salt, obviously... but if that's the case, the NCAA sure taught him a lesson. That'll learn him not to sign autographs.
 
So, Dez Bryant had a meal with Deon and lost a whole year.

Manziel get's a half game for violating the "spirit" of a bylaw.

The power of well-connected rich families is amazing sometimes.

More like the power of proof. There simply was no proof of anyone willing to go on the record.
They can't even prove the stuff on eBay is real. All they know is that he sat and signed some autographs.

It's pretty much a crapshoot which investigations the NCAA will inevitably screw up (almost all of them) and which ones they will actually do the job and make the allegations stick.

Hell Miami had a whole fiasco with that Shapiro guy and they got away with all of it.

Dez Bryant having dinner with Deion being an issue was stupid but folks keep saying this when it isn't the whole reasoning he was suspended for a year. He was accused of the silly dinner thing and then he LIED about it to the NCAA. Once it was verified that means they had proof and he also lied and that is why he got suspended for the whole year. Most likely would not have been just for the dinner if he fessed up. Then again you never know with the NCAA

With Manziel they have nothing. They admitted they have no proof of anything. So it is what it is. Can't punish someone harshly if you have nothing to back it up with.
 
My sources inform me that Rice in a show of camaraderie, has decided to bench their starting QB for the first half. Link to follow as soon as I can make up one.
 
If Manziel pretended to sign a football and then mime putting cash in his pocket would that get flagged as excessive?
 
I'm looking forward to seeing Kenny Hill play in the 1st half. I've heard good things about him, supposedly he was a beast dual-threat in high school.
When Kyle Allen shows up on campus, we are going to have a young team of some really talented guys.
 
Yep, he gets taunted repeatedly, taunts back and now he's classless and a POS? You folks bought into the ESPN machine.

We've seen this before with a certain qb That played in Austin...Dude is really feeling himself..Robert Smith and Todd McShay were killing Manziel for his antics in the game today...Can't wait for the NFL to humble this kid.....

Show some Respect to your coach and teammates after the BS u put them thru all summer and just shut up....if u just HAVE to taunt... Point at the scoreboard and keep it moving....& classy. Its just a joke at this point how "Teflon Jon" is acting like a douche. At least PRETEND you've done SOME maturing since autograph-gate. The fact you're willing to excuse that nonsense....

What about all the other times he's talking to players, shaking his head, rubbing his fingers together expressing something about "money." The kid is an *******, it's clear as day.

Post game comments by his coach indicate that he can't really control him all that much.

Link

"That wasn't very smart and that's why he didn't go back in the game," A&M coach Kevin Sumlin told ESPN after the game. "I hoped that at this point he'd have learned someting."

When Sumlin was asked if he was planning on taking Manziel out of the game after that touchdown drive, even before the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, Sumlin said "No."

Pretty simple in my book; you can't talk crap when your team is losing. Oh boy wanted to talk and was punked. It's not talking **** if you can back it up. Manziel did just that today. You don't have to like it or him but the dude can play.

There is no doubt that he can play. The issue is that he's a selfish ********. One that can play.

"It's not talking **** if you can back or up." That's a dumb statement. So, when a boxer knocks someone out and then starts yapping away on top of him, it's not talking ****?

People tune in for what he does on the field. Not his personality. When he gets a TV show I'll *complain**.

With all the money the NCAA makes off of these kids I'm fine with him mocking them.

I mean, it doesn't so much bother me. I'm just calling him an *******, because that is what he is. I wouldn't want him on my NFL team, but he doesn't bother me with his antics as a neutral viewer of a college football game that he plays.
 
The guy's an immature, self entitled, silver spoon up his ass, arrogant jackass that will bust out of the NFL if he doesn't grow up a helluva lot between now and then. Guys that blow off their head coach like that are the types of guys that don't put in the necessary work, don't learn the things the coaches need them to learn, and eventually build a rep for themselves to the point that other coaches won't take a chance on them.

Hell, look at VY. You think he's not more talented than whoever the Bills are trotting out at QB? Or the 3rd stringer for half the teams in the NFL? Players build a reputation for themselves and it follows them, for better or worse. Anyone in life, actually.
