Manziel is a punk, spoiled, reckless/careless, and has too much money for a young Man, if he's even that mature..... There was a reason they called him Johnny Fkng Football at TAMU, because no one could get away with calling Him Johnny Flaming Fkhead...... Kenny Hill, Manziel's replacement; the following year after the NFL Draft was even better than JFF.

There are more important things than sports.
