Or so says Colin Cowherd?
Colin Cowherd’s theory about Johnny Manziel might be crazy enough to be right
Colin Cowherd, as is his wont, has a unique theory about erstwhile NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Johnny Football, the Fox Sports talking head theorizes, resorted to partying up a storm last season because he wanted out of Cleveland.
“What do you do when you want to break up with somebody as a guy?” the host of “The Herd” asked on his radio show Monday. “You create conflict; you start fights. … You want her to dump you, so you do stupid stuff. You create fights. …”
He got his wish last week when the Browns released him, all part of the plan for Manziel, who grew up in Texas and played at A&M, to play in a warm-weather city, Cowherd believes.
“Johnny Manziel hates Cleveland. Johnny Manziel said [to the Browns during before being taken in the 2014 NFL Draft], ‘We’re going to wreck this league’ [to convince Cleveland to take him with the 22nd overall pick] because he was going to drop to the second round, and Johnny Manziel wanted to get first-round money.
“Johnny Manziel made up his mind in the middle of this season, ‘get me the hell out of here.’ So Johnny Manziel is going on this TMZ tour because he wanted to get cut by Cleveland. He wanted out of the AFC North. He’s not dumb. He’s a warm-weather kid who flies private jets. He’s in Vegas, Dallas, Miami. Does he take any of these jets to Milwaukee? Have you ever noticed where he takes these jets to?
“It’s sunny, warm, with cute girls. He wants to play for the Dolphins, he wants to play for the Jags, he wants to play for the Bucs, he wants to play for the Cowboys, he wants to play for the Texans, he wants to play for Arizona, he’d love to play for the Rams. He wants to party. He doesn’t want to be in Cleveland. Now, I’m not saying Johnny may not have a problem here and there. … [but] he’s going out of his way to go to popular clubs so he can be seen by TMZ, so he’s not even trying. He wanted Cleveland to cut him.”
Well, at least that last part about not even trying seems reasonable. The larger problem with Manziel is that it seems as if years of partying inappropriately (by NFL standards) indicates a more serious problem. Manziel, who is all of 23, is in danger of washing out of the league entirely. Even the Dallas Cowboys, who coveted him in 2014, have backed off.
Manziel also faces possible disciplinary action by the NFL and a grand jury in Texas is considering whether he should be charged in connection with an alleged domestic-violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend in January. Manziel doesn’t seem concerned about his future. Asked by a reporter for TMZ (where he’s a cottage industry) of he’d be playing football in the fall, he replied: “Of course, my man.”
