Manziel being investigated by NCAA

[Blake]

Nice. You gunna get yourself one?

I wonder if it's cheaper to cut the middleman and just buy one straight from Johnny

[ChumpDumper]

chump you know if you were on the other side of this argument you'd be asking for proof and sources all day.I wouldn't be on the other side of this argument. My self worth isn't dependent on making sure some douchebag who doesn't know me makes it through til he drops out in January.


Pretty sure I had broken the Aggie Honor Code way before Johnny Football was around. So there goes that theory.I am perfectly willing to accept the Aggie Honor Code never meant anything to Aggie.

Manziel suspended for first half........of Rice game

[Spur|n|Austin]

That's a strange punishment.

[Sisk]

Olbermann is a dirty liberal POS

[Sisk]

If Johnny is suspended for the first half I expect Kenny Hill to start. Should be interesting.

[ChumpDumper]

:lmao NCAA

[The Reckoning]

wait doesn't that mean one of the ags here has to stop posting for the season? rofl

[Blake]

So why exactly is he getting suspended?

[jeebus]

I can't wait for previous player suspended for the same thing to bring up the racism talk

[Sisk]

So why exactly is he getting suspended?


It's part of a by-law regarding "knowledge of resale". You don't sign 4,500 autographs without knowing they're going to be sold. But it (currently) can't be proven that he accepted any money for it.

12.5.2.2 bylaw

[DesignatedT]

According to that bylaw why isn't Clowney, Bridgewater, etc suspended for half a game also? They have a huge amount of signed memorabilia out there as well. :lol

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

:lmao NCAA protecting their golden boy with a slap on the wrist joke of a punishment

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao NCAA

:lol $EC getting a free pass per par

Paul Pabstþ@PaulPabst2m
Sources: A&M will appeal NCAA ruling to try to get the suspension knocked down to just the National Anthem.

So Dez Bryant has a dinner with someone he wasn't supposed to, admits it, apologizes, gets a whole season ban.

Johnny Manziel gets accused of signing autographs for money, doesn't admit or deny it, instead hires lawyers, gets half a game ban.

I hope everyone following this story has learned a valuable REAL WORLD lesson from this whole thing. Honestly, anyone who called into question Manziel's intellect during this whole ordeal is eating shit now. You can't get mad at the kid, he showed he was smart where it mattered and played the system as it allowed.

It's just like when you get pulled over for suspected drunk driving. Don't fuckin talk, don't blow into breathalyzer, don't do field sobriety test, go to jail and get a lawyer with your phone call...more than likely, unless you were driving like a crazy asshole, you'll get a plea bargain and no DUI since the cops won't have any evidence against you.

I'm glad this whole fuckin thing is over with now. Jesus...

Pretty accurate analogy actually.

Might be the worst penalty I've ever seen

Are all autographs going to be outlawed now?

Expect a lot of David Ash autographs to flood the market.

/shit no one will ever buy

NCAA should be investigating ESPN for abuse of hyperbolic journalism

[rjv]

from a football perspective, it is going to be interesting to see how hill plays if he gets the start. certainly makes for a strange game to place a point spread on.

I don't think the line moves much if any, even if Johnny missed the whole game

Half the game versus Rice! :lol

I like it actually. It will make college football more exciting.

Weren't you saying he would definitely be suspended for the entire season? And you were happy that was the case?

[Trill Clinton]

dez bryant gets suspended for the entire season for lying about having brunch with deion.

scamziel with a sketchy college career already and getting paid to sign helmets, has to sit out the 1st half of a game.

seems fair.

It's not. But the NCAA is on the defensive right now after being criticized so much.

[Bill_Brasky]

the difference is dez bryant publicly admitted to what he did, whereas manziel made no comment.

Yeah. I was at the grocery store and some kid stole this old woman's small purse. Well I got accused and taken by security to the back of the store and questioned. I immediately stated no comment. That's what everyone does when falsely accused.

Let the kid play, I want entertainment.

that's a really dumb comparison.

they would know it wasn't you simply by checking the cameras. but if you really are ever in legal trouble, yeah, you're supposed to say absolutely nothing and lawyer up. fifth amendment and all that stuff.

The point is Brautsky, that innocent people don't do the no comment gig when falsely accused when casually asked.It got down to the nuts and bolts, JFF had to make a statement to the NCAA and said he did not take money. In my estimation he lied and the NCAA had nothing on him. Except the ridiculous.

Do you really think differently? Really?

[Blake]

Yeah. I was at the grocery store and some kid stole this old woman's small purse. Well I got accused and taken by security to the back of the store and questioned. I immediately stated no comment.

So were you convicted of theft?

No comment.

Never happened.

Shit, I commented. Should have lawyered up...

[Vito Corleone]

I like it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a ridiculous joke. :tu

You can say this about sports in general, this is why I will never spend a penny on a sporting event outside of Golf. As much as I love the NBA or college football no way I will support either. I watch or listen to the games for free.

Give me a good high school game or a little league baseball game any day, that is worth the money.

[FkLA]

Yall niggas shouldnt take Rice lightly tbh. I know they normally suck but they won a bowl game last year and finished the season on a 5 game winning streak once their QB was completely healthy. They return 19 starters and yall will like that nigga Taylor McHargue...hes pretty good. Theyre my pick to win C-USA tbh.

A&M wont cover if the line stays the same imo.

yea but a entire season for brunch?!! i'm not talking signing helmets in a hotel room, but biscuits and gravy??!!! fuck the ncaa

[Bill_Brasky]

oh I agree, that punishment was absurd. especially considering what happened with cam newton.

[Vito Corleone]

Golf?

What makes that better than the NBA?

A golfer will never be over-paid, if he sucks he won't win jack. Golfers have on vested interest in stadiums or holding a fanbase hostage with threats we are going to move to Orlando if you don't build me a new house.

When a golfer wins a major, he won't get a parade or ask for a raise, he will get ready for the next tournament. Golf is a sport where you don't really compete against the other golfers but rather against the course. It's a gentlemen's game, there is no hip hop and no hype, but there are plenty of rich and famous people teeing it up.

When I was a kid I got paid to caddy for George Strait. I once shot a round with Gene Stalling, and I can honestly say, he is a very nice guy.

Golf has given me a hell of a lot over the years, that is why it is better than basketball.

[pgardn]

You're not enrolled in the UT law school, are you?

Point of order your honor.
When did the accused state he was arrested or convicted?

dude, it does not matter what you or I THINK. if we went around punishing people for what we THOUGHT they did the world would be crazy. by not making any statements he gave the situation less attention and didn't incriminate himself.

This ain't a fggn court of law. Either is the NCAA... dude...
Imo he is a lying idiot. This does not mean God will strike him dead.
Im saying anyone foolish enough to believe that this kid sat down and signed this many articles for a sports memorabilia scum he did not even know for FREE did indeed, just fall off the turnip truck. dude...
