Do the Brownies still have signing rights to Milt Plum?

Wow. I remember when I came home and my wife happily told me, “We got Johnny Football”. Looks like we got Joe Charboneau’s curse all over again.

He couldn’t wait till today or next Friday, after the season was over? Not a good first season for Johnny Football. Maybe he learned something.

The league should hire Ryan Leaf as a demotivational speaker to wake this guy up.

Maybe when he gets out of prison...

Amazing how in fifteen years they haven’t been able to find even a mediocre but steady starter. I guess good NFL QBs really are that rare.

Now he’s exporting bad behavior to his teammates and getting them in trouble as well.

Oh good grief! What an asinine remark.

Some of the players are 10 years older then JM and responsible for their own behavior!

Yes! He's 79, but probably could probably fill in until the next franchise QB is drafted.

Amen. As a long time San Diego resident & Chargers fan, I believe Ryan Leaf is the worst draft decision the team ever has made. One of the worst all time in the NFL.

Joe Charboneau ended up as the hitting coach for an Independent League team just down the road here.

I was shopping in Ohio over the summer and saw t-shirts....not replica nor authentic jerseys.....cotton T-SHIRTS....with a Browns logo on the front and Manziel’s name and number on the back.

Twenty eight bucks.

I’m sure those folks are really happy with their purchase! /s

Just remember Cleveland had Dennis Kuchinich and Mayor... they know how to pick winners.

Johnny Football? Manziel has as much charisma as a turnip. He has the wimpiest body I’ve ever seen in a football player, he is not good looking, not particularly articulate, and exhibits a basically stupid and vapid lifestyle.

That's a good comparison.

One thing I like about conservatives bashing Manziel is that nobody can claim it’s race-based.

You're wrong there.

If he bombs in the NFL, he can practice and join the PGA. He's that good at golf...shot a 79 at Pebble Beach

A 79 at Pebble Beach wouldn't make the cut. Maybe he practices and gets it down to an average of 75. That still doesn't cut it.

I think it's pretty good for a guy who was lucky to play once a month!

Johnny Football > Johnny Clipboard > Johnny Starter > Johnny Injured > Johnny Bench > Johnny Suspended > Johnny Released > Ryan Leaf > Johnny Jailbird

And here's how it ends:
