Johnny Manziel-Mental illness-SOber

Johnny Manziel says he's sober, hopes to play football

i say give em a chance in camp

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Let him earn a place in someone's camp...

Let him go play in Winnipeg. Show the NFL he has something... after not taking a NFL snap for over two years.

 

[Upinthe North]

I think he should make a deal with Toronto in CFL, and prove himself for a year. If he screws up again, he'll be out permanently and have to give his football dream. CFLers still earn a decent wage compared to most Canadians, if they're a good enough player.

he turned down his cfl off, i agree he should go thoguh

I don't think he's actually turned down Winnipeg. He just never responded to their offer.

He's angling for more money with this little self-improvement media circus he's putting on. His problem is he has no leverage. He can say he'll sell T-Shirts and sell tickets and the CFL will get a little bump in the US (especially in Texas) but he isn't going to get paid on speculation.

If he wants an NFL job, he's going to have to earn it. On a football field. In Canada.

Winnipeg has his rights.

agree, but his story with the bipolar makes sense, alot

 

[Upinthe North]

If he's too good for the CFL as a steppingstone to the NFL, then he should just find a new career. Any NFL team would be stupid to take him until he's proven himself good enough to be there.

Thanks for correction. I don't follow CFL OR J.M. enough it would seem.

No doubt. Bi-Polar is in my wife's family so I'm way too familiar with it. But - worst thing you can do with a bi-polar is just hand them things they want instead if making them focus on obtaining them through merit. Once again - first hand experience.

 

[RobBase]

Well, he has assaulted women. So him and Big Ben have something to talk about.

Can you say somebody is attempting a comeback?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I’m about to celebrate Money Manziel’s soberiety by getting all fucked up.

sure, in someone else's camp, not pittsburgh's

 

[Cedrique]

I've thought this guy was full of shit since college and would never amount to anything. So far that has played out, but if he thinks he can change by being sober then I could see someone taking a chance on him. He obviously has a lot of talent.
