Does anyone recall ESPN ever commenting on Johnny Manziel's


Dec 23, 2012, 2:09 PM

off the field problems in high school and at Texas A&M? Because I sure didn't hear them say anything about it at any point this season.

in high school because of off the field stuff. Just can't remember ESPN ever bringing any of this up?

That's not really my point. It's not about the integrity of

One clarification. Maybe the high school stuff was more of

a family member thing. It's unclear.

if they have/did, i didn't hear it, and i pretty much watch


Dec 23, 2012, 2:19 PM

sports whenever i am at home ( most of the time it's one of the e(sec)pn channels- i sure wish they had some serious competition). watching sports (used to play'em) takes most of my time outside the normal 8-10-12 hr. work-day.
what did he do in hs and at a&m that should warrant mention? you've got my curiosity working.

Desmond Howard talked about it.

By the way the point of my post is not about Manziel (he's


Dec 23, 2012, 2:25 PM

a kid after all and I did some stupid, stupid stuff as a kid). But he is a rather high-profile college football player wouldn't you say? And, I can't remember one mention of any of it, NOT ONE, by that bastion of sports objectivity over at ESPN.

The sports world man crush is just too big

Every time Manziel moves on the field the announcers and commentators come up with some new, sometimes stupid expression for his actions. They must have slobber towels, all of them.

But let's be fair, has Manziel done anything to make him worse than Ben Roethlisberger? The low bar has been set for a while, at least as far as creepy sex activities go. A guy in college who drinks and throws punches seems, well, pretty normal, no? Not typical of everyone but not rare either.
