Manziel is leaving a nightclub? Check.

The nightclub is in Hollywood? Check.

Manziel is with celebrities? Check.

Manziel makes a bold proclamation about his NFL future? Check!

"Of course, my man. Have a great night. My TMZ family. I appreciate you,bro, I appreciate you,"

[dmz]

There are more than a few of us Baltimorons who believe the legal issues provided a convenient cover for releasing a guy whose production was on the down side of the career curve.

[islander-11]

As has been said many times before: Million dollar talent, ten cent brain...

[Cyman]

Good one just sent it to my nephew in Willoughby, Ohio.

[mulligan]

As a water boy?

[dfwgator]

“That’s some high-quality H2O.”

[boop]

"He’ll be wise to grow up right quick." Instead of being contrite, realizing how much he tossed away by HIS own behavior, he's out partying.

Any team would have to have brain damage to hire Manziel.

He's just bad news all around.

In before someone brings up Joe Namath's "boozing and broads".

At least Namath showed up to work, and got his day job done.

Does anyone think for a second that Manziel has 1% of Namath's work ethic?

[doldrumsforgop]

Trashy guy spoiled by rich family who did not do near enough to raise him to maturity.

In some respect, he is good as it demonstrates, as Tiger Woods did also, pretty clearly that athletic prowess alone does not a man make.

[dfwgator]

Yep, I used to defend Manziel, but at some point, you’d better produce on the field if you’re going to get away with all that partying.

[boop]

Exactly.

Another example would be Mickey Mantle.

He'd be hungover, or even drunk when he played, but he'd go out and sock three homers.

NOBODY really cared what he did off the field.

[dfwgator]

Imagine what Babe Ruth could have done if only he’d cut down on the smoking, the drinking and the sex....especially between the innings.

[boop]

LMAO!

>>>Johnny ‘Football’ Manziel walked out of a bar.<<<

. . . but he prefers it when his friends carry him.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

>>>Johnny Has-been.<<<

Probably still is an improvement over Matthew Stafford.

I agree, until that partying starts impacting performance If Manziel had thrown for 6000 yards of passing, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Namath, Merideth, Stabler, etc. were probably just as bad, but they delivered.

[SunkenCiv]

His friends will be carrying him for the rest of his life.

[catfish1957]

Johnny Has-been.

Never dislike A & M or Manziel, but using Football as your nickname is just asking for it.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

his friends = enablers

[al_c]

Sad truth.

[al_c]

Most definitely.

[dfwgator]

Yep, win a Super Bowl first, then you can do this.
