FYI as it turns out Manziel put himself in concussion protocol LOL. Why would anyone want a guy like this? He isn't even any good on the field!!!
This is from an article on PFT.
On Wednesday, when Manziel showed up for work, he reported that he has concussion-like symptoms from three days earlier — before Pettine could meet with Manziel about the video.
It doesn’t take a non-concussed brain to realize that the easiest way for a 23-year-old with a history of off-field issues and no self-awareness to avoid getting in trouble at work (again) would be to claim that he has headaches and/or other symptoms of a concussion. Everyone associated with the NFL is currently petrified of letting a player take the field with a head injury. Given the lack of a thermometer-in-the-orifice style test for diagnosing a concussion, the Browns physicians weren’t about to dispute Manziel’s claims.

Man. This kid's a trainwreck. I reeeeeeeeeeally hope he can pull his shit together, although if he wants to party the rest of his life away, he's got the $$ to do so, from a couple years' worth of NFL paychecks and Mommy and Daddy's money.This just keeps getting better and better! What a dope.

Was I a part of this thread?
Hahahah. Love the gif 12. I think Manziel is a good lesson for all of us. There is a huge difference between immaturity and lack of character. The boy has ZERO character and is choosing to double-down on Johnny.

It should be a given that when your job is on the line, the last thing you want to do is show up to work still drunk from the night before. Apparently nobody ever sat Johnny Manziel down and spelled that out for him — and the Cleveland Browns took the hit for it.
In the wake of Cleveland unloading personnel at the regular season's end, reports of Manziel showing up to practice "inebriated" have surfaced.
This also comes on the heels of Manziel being inactive for Sunday's game with a concussion after photos of the trouble-magnet quarterback partying in Las Vegas the night before became public.
What's worse is that it sounds as though Cleveland tried to keep these infractions in-house, and it didn't work. According to the New York Daily News:
The troubled quarterback showed up “disheveled and inebriated” at the Browns’ facility at some point last week, Tony Grossi reported during the Browns’ postgame show on ESPN Radio’s Cleveland affiliate Sunday. Grossi, who covered the Browns for years for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, said on the show that he asked Mike Pettine if he could confirm what he had been hearing; that Manziel was “inebriated” at practice on Tuesday. "He denied that that happened on Tuesday,” Grossi said. “But other people I’ve talked to said that it happened the next day, on Wednesday.” Pettine, along with GM Ray Farmer, was fired by Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam after Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Steelers.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King reported that Manziel broke team rules by not reporting to the medical staff on Sunday morning prior to the game against Pittsburgh and that "the team couldn't find him for hours."
It's bad enough that the guy can't seem to stay away from the booze when he's away from the gridiron. It's a whole other bushel of trouble when that behavior comes to work with him.
King suggests that Manziel might be trying to "party his way out of Cleveland." With how big of a mess he is, it would be a wonder if any team would want to pick him up.
