Johnny Manziel reportedly wore a blond wig, fake mustache and sunglasses to party at a Las Vegas club incognito on Saturday night. Manziel, 23, was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as per the NFL's post-concussion protocol, but was absent from the required doctor's visit that morning. Employees and a customer at Planet Hollywood reported seeing Manziel eating and playing blackjack at the casino on Saturday night. Then, ESPN Las Vegas added to the story, saying the quarterback wore a disguise and said his name was Billy while out in Sin City. There is also reportedly video of Manziel in his disguise.

He capitalized on his college career, just like the corrupt universities capitalize on the young players to the tune of millions of dollars.
Why bother showing up for work at all? Just gets in the way of his partying.
1. Cleveland kills rookie QB’s. Often ruins them for life by using the sink or swim method.
2. Cleveland kills coaches off faster than any team out there and they have been saying “next year, next year” since I was a child. I have not been a child for over 30 years now.
3. The kid is 23 years old and he needs a mentor before he ends up killing himself.
4. As for his career, if Jones can help him so be it.
5. The Clowns just out and out stink and QB is not the only problem they have.
Of course, one who FReeloads might think the way you do...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Yep J Football with Trayvon Boykin as backup.
Show me one high school football player who wouldn’t love a chance to pay college ball.
There are other sad things. His teammates deserve to be on the field with a quarterback who is in the best physical and mental conditioning possible. It increases the risk of injury if that's not the case. Then there's the issue of the message it sends to young boys who have those aspirations, at a time when the NFL has so many issues going on. Then there's Manziel's trivializing the very serious issue of concussions.
What I don't get is how bad the management and ownership of the Browns is. Either they're clueless to the extent of the problems Manziel has, or they didn't give a damn.
He did get a free ride at college, which if he'd stayed would have cost any normal student around $100,000. So that's not a bad trade off. Too bad A&M didn't give it to a more deserving student who would appreciate it.
Go Aggies!!!
It was noted in the article.
I'm all for the freedom to party if one wants, but when it affects one's ability and/or leadership role for a really good paying job, it becomes a liability.
There are some things owners can put in their contracts such as no riding motorcycles and other pursuits that could damage legs or arms, that sort of thing. The union most likely keeps them from including the kinds of things you mention. Even if cleveland fires him they still have to pay his contract unless another team wants him, where cleveland is probably still on the hooknto pay part of that salary. The browns have to weigh the cost of rehabbing manziel and getting their investment out of him vs what it costs to keep him and possibly lose $$$$$$$ from loss of ad revenue ot ticket sales. This is why the browns stink ALL the time. They throw their $$$$$$$ on headcases.
Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and Joe Namath are getting a kick out of this.
I told Johnny that kind of disguise... 
never works for long!
They deny it on TMZ Sports right now that wasn’t it was him oh Johnny it was you honey
everyone!
Given the size, strength, speed and conditioning of today's players and their level of skill, the Ruth of his day wouldn't last a season. The same thing goes for many of the old time football greats..........
Johnny Manziel is destined for the history book of "could have beens"..........
Well I didn’t know you were partying with Johnny Football HELLO!
fake mustache and sunglasses...
Groucho glasses?
