Virtual Reality: Manziel taking reps without even hitting the field
by Chris O'Leary

As he baby steps his way through the offensive nuances of the CFL, Johnny Manziel’s most important work might be taking place in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ meeting room.

Through the first three days of training camp, Manziel has been using a virtual reality headset that lets him see what Ticats’ starter Jeremiah Masoli has seen in practice to date.

“We used them (Monday) afternoon and I thought it was very helpful,” Manziel said.

“It’s very high quality and I get to take some of the other guys’ reps and see every play. So if you walk through a whole script (on-field) and you only get two to four plays out of that, I’m getting a chance to look at all 22, 24 plays. I think it’s advantageous in that regard.”

I don’t recall his sins. Was he a gunslinger or wife beater?

Yeah OK, Johnny Football is maybe back. Good for him. Virtual Reality may be slowly into the marketplace. Back in the 1960s there were viewfinders to let the kid see pictures of cool stuff. Now a days the virtual reality head sets may be the new movie theater sensation.

You must be referring to the “New and Improved GAF Viewmaster”, as advertised on TV by Henry Fonda.

Thankfully, he’s Canada’s problem.

He was like Axl Rose or Charlie Sheen with a football jersey.

Just a whoremongering substance abuser with maturity issues.

The way Henry said “GAF” was gold for impressionists!

If he had only done “virtual drinking”, he might still have an NFL career...

Just a general douchebag. Johnny Jockstrap is a true legend in his own mind. IF I were an Aggie, I would be apologizing, profusely, that my school ever put that self-important snowflake on the field.

I`m afraid Baker Mayfield is going to be just about as bad. My apologies to Browns fans.
