    Yep, if that is true, he just Damned himself in the eyes of a lot of people. And now it makes complete sense why Pettine just straight benched him and made him the #3 QB for a simple picture or video.

      I figured he'd been benched because he was in one of the abuse programs and this may have led to a suspension once reviewed. This somehow feels worse.

      Kid has some growing up to do.

        He's gonna have a long road ahead of him. If he's willing to lie, and tries to get his friends to lie as well to cover his ***, over a video, how can the coaching staff, the team, the fans, etc, ever trust him again?

        If he was willing to lie about this and even go the extra step further to bring his friends to lie for him, how can anything he says or claims from this point forward possibly be taken at face value?

          Just more typical behavior from Manziel at this point. He's lost the benefit of the doubt.

          He'll be irrelevant like guys like Blackmon in a couple years. Hasn't even produced as much as him either.

          Kid is flat out dumb and arrogant.

            Changes the story completely for me. If I can't trust you to tell me the truth, how do I trust you with my football team.

                The sad thing is, the guy DOES have some talent whether or not it's NFL talent is still a question but his immaturity and substance abuse problems pretty much killed any chance for him to show what he can do. All the signs of self destructive behavior was laid out there during his college career but a lot of people pushed it under the rug from Texas A&M officials on down rather than trying to give him the help he needed/needs.

                I wouldn't be surprised if we hear some big sad sob story about his life 20 years from now.

                      At this point, Johnny should aspire to having the career of ... Matt Leinart.

                        What I was saying was that there was likely a conversation coming into the season specifically about his drinking. The checking into rehab being an act of good faith and presented as more reason to trust he was done with that life.

                        That is, of course, just an assumption. But everything points to that making more sense than "randomly benched for hanging out with friends". I don't see him voluntarily checking himself into rehab for legal drug abuse if there wasn't a strong push of it costing him a huge opportunity if he didn't do so (especially since his current behavior the last few months shows he doesn't really want to stop drinking).
                        So now that more information has been leaked, the benching makes sense.

                        Johnny is like a teenager lying to his parents for no good reason.

                            I also read a story saying Ray Farmer talked to Connor Cook's high school coach so it looks like the Browns are ready to move on from Mccown and Manziel.

                              The weird thing to me is we've come to know Manziel as always saying the right thing to get out of stuff, smooth talking his way to freedom, why did that suddenly stop?

                                I read an article saying how the TNF rights are up and that Apple should bid for it. Could you imagine TNF not on tv and streaming only? That would suck pretty bad.
