Manziel is an Alfred E. Neuman looking, short little punk rich kid that no one ever said no to.
Marinovich I can empathize with a little bit. Manziel I just wanna punch in the face on sight.
So in other words, she spends all night and day wishing/thinking it was the mid-90's. Hope it doesn't hurt the relationship.
I would love to sh*t on this kid and I admit to loving all this negative press after SO much hype. But, if I think about myself at his age he seems like a Rhodes Scholar.
Thats part of the problem.Manziel's family has money. He doesn't need to play nice to get that next big contract. His family comes from oil money. He'll never work a day in his life.
The best NFL career Manziel can hope for going forward is Michael Vick post-dogfighting, a last choice backup who, when he finally gets in a game, does some exciting scrambling but nothing else because he still won't put in the work to actually learn the position. I doubt he rises even to those heights. Uncoachable, unknowledgeable, and unreliable is no way to go through NFL life, son.Though I agree he is generally a douchebag ....
Some of what he has been doing lately is to punch his ticket out of town and who can blame him?
Downside is that his first free agent contract will be deeply discounted.
I doubt he ever becomes more than a hired gun/JAG in the NFL ... time will tell.
