Anybody think his situation is troubling at all? He hasn't had a major issue pop up, but it's been death by a thousand paper cuts. His tweet about College Station, being guilty of a misdemeanor, almost being suspended the year before, and now this Peyton Manning camp issue (supposedly he left early because he was out partying and had a massive hangover).
I've been wondering where his focus has been. Seeing as how the season is a month and a half away, how do you think Manziel will do?

Re: Johnny Football
He doesn't seem to be handling having the media constantly crawling up his butt. In his defense, though, I wouldn't handle it that well either.

Re: Johnny Football
He's still just a 20 year old kid. And the world has a spotlight on him and expectations. I certainly had my share of hangovers when I was 20.
I imagine that he'll come around as he matures. Some kids mature early, others are on a different curve.

I agree. If the media were following me when a was 20..............well lets just be glad they didn't.

Re: Johnny Football
Yeah, then Mrs. Spence would have video footage to defer to when she needs a little extra sway in her argument.

She has enough current footage....don't they all.

Re: Johnny Football
And...they can instantly index all footage and roll back to a specific frame. A biological gift, I reckon.

She does, but we didn't get together until I was 36. My 20's we not a sight to behold......I guess maybe I could have had a show on MTV back then. People do like to watch train wrecks.

Oh my . . . this would change things drastically.
If he becomes ineligible, we'll get to see just how good the A&M team is.

If he did take money for signing he is done. That is a major violation.

At a 5 figure sum, yes, he'd be done.
