The week began with Johnny Manziel being indicted for assault in Dallas. It’s ending with Manziel sounding off on Twitter about the criticism he has been absorbing.
“You guys act like what I’m doing is something new,” Manziel said. “I’ve been the same person, doing the same things since it all started.”
He’s right, and that’s the primary problem. He needs to change, but he hasn’t changed. In a separate tweet, he seems to acknowledge that.
“Made plenty of mistakes along the way, and have a lot I’d do differently,” Manziel said. “To all my family and real friends who have stuck by me…THANK YOU.”
Manziel also went on the offensive against Will Burge of FOX Sports Ohio, who tweeted on Thursday night a photo of Manziel in Ohio, adding that “2 yrs ago he was a 1st rd pick…now hes unemployed watching it at a bar in Columbus b4 the Bieber concert.”
The former Browns quarterback said that Burge “should have just said it to my face instead of sitting across from us tweeting away. Pussy.”
Yep, Manziel is the same person. Which means his employment status will be the same as it is, indefinitely.
