A Browns fan who says he wanted to give Johnny Manziel ''a hug'' was struck by the rookie quarterback's entourage at a downtown hotel and was left with a swollen eye and lip, police said.

Johnny don’t hug boys.

Is the entourage in his contract ?

A man who told Cleveland police a member of Johnny Manziel’s entourage assaulted him early Saturday has a criminal record involving alcohol and fighting, according to court records.

The Sandusky Municipal Court’s website shows Christopher Gonos, 33, has been convicted of the following misdemeanors over the past 13 years:
An assault on Dec. 3, 2001
A citation for an open flask of alcohol on July 4, 2002
Public intoxication on Nov. 23, 2002
Disorderly conduct on Aug. 18, 2005
Disorderly conduct and obstructing official business on July 1, 2006

Gonos also was convicted last year on a federal charge of structuring financial transactions to avoid filing currency transaction reports, according to the Sandusky Register.

He was sentenced to two years of probation, fined $1,000, and ordered to submit to regular substance abuse treatment and testing, according to federal court records.

Stay classy Johnny.

>The lead is the “victim’s” story. Manziel’s version I— not surprisingly — quite different.

1. It wasn't in a hotel...it was in the lobby of Johnny's apartment building.

2. There was no entourage.

3.Johnny wasn't named in the police report...hit nobody.

4. The guys got aggressive with Johnny...because of who he is...same as why this was posted here.

5. Much ado about nothing.

Some drunk wanting to impress his girlfriend. Manziel was not interested in hugging this jerkwater stranger at 2:30 in the morning. Can't say I blame him actually.

Maybe Manziel needed a Snickers.

He doesn’t have time, he spends all his off-hours drinking liquor under-age.

[GeronL]

Maniel was probably drunk too

Are you drinking? You seem to be having a problem with spelling and punctuation.

[GeronL]

I have a keyboard malfunction and certainly things do not work properly. Like the last letter of the alphabet and the question mark

[lonestar]

So...your keyboard is drinkng?! :)

What is so special about this guy? I think he’s thrown maybe one NFL pass in his career so far and he’s getting more press than Tom Brady.

Manziel is over 21.
