Johnny Manziel gives middle finger toward Redskins
By Chris Wesseling
Around the League Writer
Johnny Manziel's most effective throw of the night was the middle finger in the direction of the Washington Redskins sideline.
The Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback took an earful from Redskins players when he was forced out of bounds in the third quarter. As Manziel jogged away, he responded by casually flipping the bird with his right hand.

That’d be racist.
And... obey the Scout Law.
"He thinks they're No. 1 in the nation."
The guy has no class at all.
Yeah, he got up after getting hit and just flipped them off. There was no verbal abuse or sucker punches going on.
Welcome to the NFL.
Big deal out of a small event. The guy is playing fairly well for a rookie. He runs the offense well. He’s not able to read the defense yet and adjust, but that’s normal. He is fairly unflappable during play...this move, while not ideal, is his way of dealing with all the jawing from the sidelines and took place calmly in between plays. Why is this worse than guys losing their cool and getting in their faces?
Can’t print what am thinking about the redskin players with a show of support for the thug of Ferguson ... so am going away.
I like how Connor Shaw looked when he was in there.....If he doesn’t make the Browns, some other team should scoop him up. He was pretty good at South Carolina.
No wonder he did so well in college football. He appears to have seven fingers. Makes it easier to hold the ball,
I suppose one would have to be REEEEEAL old to get any comparison with Bobby Layne.
Which one is the most offensive?
“Yeah, he got up after getting hit and just flipped them off. There was no verbal abuse or sucker punches going on.”
Your audio reception must be a lot better than mine.
IF the NFL fines Manziel for this action (11 grand), the why didn’t the FEC (Federal Election Commission) or some such federal alphabet agency fine Obama when he shot the bird during his election campaigns? Oh, what leaders these two are.
Glad it’s Brown’s headache.
He didn’t like being pushed out or the verbal taunting? Manziel will be quite busy the whole time he plays then.
The target on Johnny’s back just got bigger - but I still like the guy.
Just trying to fit in with the other losers.
