people thinking that espn or these media writers don't have it out for Manziel. It's pretty obvious at this point. Just admit it.
i'll take you up on that tbh. any suspension will qualify. be it one quarter or one season. and it doesn't have to be from autographs. it can't be anything linked to poor behavior or his ovo tat.

He's talking about suspensions handed down from the NCAA. Not Johnny overslept one morning and Sumlin decided to suspend him a quarter.
Both are equally likely to happen at this point. ESPN has totally outed themselves as frauds. What a joke of a network.
fwiw he said that he gets suspended and that's all. just making the bet fair is all. i doubt sumlin would suspend him if he missed practice or something. he got him a million dollar raise.
There's a lot of athletes putting themselves in re ed situations. Manziel gets 24/7 coverage when there's even SPECULATION over something he has done. This story was ALLEGED and there was no real factual proof for them to use in a story, yet they aired it as if the facts were all clear cut and set in stone when they were not. I lol'd at how they would say the word "alleged" really quietly and under their breath then talk about the "breaking news".
So the Cam Newton story didnt get the same coverage?

How would you even measure that? I guess it got similar coverage. The difference is Cam only got coverage for the one story, whereas if JF goes to an NBA game or party he's still right there on ESPN front page. They are obsessed. And the thing is they had way more on Cam and STILL nothing came of it.
The biggest irony is ESPN making money due to sensationalized stories about players.....making money.
The coverage of Manziel exploded once he won the Heisman as a Freshmen. Nobody's done that before, so I guess you can say that's what made him a "celebrity". However, he's not running from the coverage. He likes the attention, which is why he can't stay off twitter. So to say ESPN is at fault, when Manziel has created alot of this himself is false. When you're a high profile athlete, college or pro, you've got to know the media is going to try to create a story. ESPN had even more coverage on Tebow, but he never made himself seen.
Oh bull . You and i both know ESPN is a network lacking journalistic integrity and profiting off of any little controversy or story that they can. To only call them out on it for being Lakers and Cowboys s but not for their little smear campaigns is incredibly dishonest in and of itself.
I am referencing the NCAA. Not Sumlin/A&M. Made the bet offer to him because he's the one that has been poorly trolling this thread saying the NCAA will succeed.
This is hilarious. Manziel singlehandedly puts A&M on the map, wins the Heisman as a freshmen, and people expect his life not to change? If ESPN was so obessed with him, isn't it A&M's job to protect him more like other schools have done with their stars? Did any other Heisman winner get this kind of coverage? No, and we know why. It really does speak to the amateurism of the A&M athletic department to let the celebrity of one player outweigh the entire program, because once he goes pro, I'm sure no one will care about them again. At least not in the media. Why wasn't ESPN as "obsessed" with RGIII as they allegedly are with Manziel? Sure alot of players who put themselves in re ed situations, but you have to be an idiot if you think high profile players shouldn't be under the spotlight more. And Manziel has been amazingly dumb with his situations.

Also, if he doesn't want the coverage, he could have helped himself by staying off twitter. But it's too late for that now.
How have other programs protected their players? Johnny is vocal on twitter and posts what he's doing and it gets highlighted by ESPN. Sumlin has silenced him on twitter before but he's not going to ban him from using it. The only big program in the country (AFAIK) that has a twitter ban is Clemson. We aren't going to shelter Johnny from using social media. Sumlin doesn't give a if Johnny is drinking or at some NBA game. He understands that it doesn't mean anything in the long run.This is hilarious. Manziel singlehandedly puts A&M on the map, wins the Heisman as a freshmen, and people expect his life not to change?

Looks like Fox is trying to out dumb ESPN:

Manziel as Rosa Parks? gmafb
Protect him as in having certain "associates" stay away from him that could get him caught.
They are supposed to tell Johnny who he can and cannot be friends with? They've been friends since High School.
I'm pretty sure ESPN WAS obsessed with RG3. In fact, they continue to bust a nut any time they talk about him to this day.This is hilarious.
