Manziel...whose NFL future is in peril.

Gee, ya think?

Ryan Leaf redux.

I'm not a "told ya so" type of person, but I won't hesitate to point out when I and about 98.9 % of football fans and watchers predicted this guy would crash and burn.

He has few skills (that are transferable to NFL-syle play), his attitude sucks and in my opinion, he has an alcohol problem and an advanced case of "affluenza".

Everybody, him included, would be better off if he just went back home and went into the family oil business.

Forget Johnny (can't play) Football.

Move on...there are much more talented and less problematic players out there.

Ryan Leaf redux.

Heard Ryan the other day reach out to Manziel. Said.... If you want, call me anytime... or words to that effect. Said it's up to Manziel to make that move.

I remember watching the movie "Daft Day" with Kevin Costner - plot was almost identical to real life. Cleveland Browns sucked, had first pick, and was trying to decide between glamorous party-boy QB and hard working linebacker. In the movie, Costner (playing the Browns GM) surprises everyone and picks the linebacker and avoids the QB we know will be a bust. In real life, of course, the Browns pick the party-boy QB...too funny. Hollywood actually did better due diligence than the real Browns.
