Johnny Manziel Likely To Be Suspended For Signing Autographs For Money, Picture is Proof

Another new week and yet another new Johnny Manziel controversy. And this one is more than likely to get him suspended.

Allegedly Manziel received 5 figures to sign multiple photos, jerseys, and mini helmets down in Miami back in January before the BCS National Title game from an autograph broker. There were multiple witnesses in the hotel room when Manziel signed the items. If AJ Green can get suspended for 4 games for selling his Liberty Bowl jersey for $1000 you have to imagine the NCAA or Texas A&M will suspend him for as many games if not longer. It's a clear NCAA infraction and every football player knows the rule. While I can agree the rule isn't really fair for the athlete because I think they should be given a chance to make money off their own name it is still a rule and a violation on Manziel's part. He has to be suspended.

Which royally sucks because I wanted to see him play vs Bama. Everybody wants to see Johnny Football play. The only problem is he keeps making stupid decisions off the football field and now this will cost him and his team big time. Some people just can't handle the Heisman hype. And it's not like Manziel needed the money. The kid has rich parents who send him everywhere and he doesn't even have to go to class. His Dad gave him a new Mercedes just because he didn't want Johnny to accept improper benefits. It's pretty clear that Johnny can't handle the spotlight. And you know NFL personnel are taking notes on this.

My prediction is Texas A&M will withhold Manziel from the first two games in hope of appeasing the NCAA and then have him play vs Bama Sept 14th. Just a wild guess on my part.

I can only imagine this is what I look like back in my college days after a tough Saturday in the fall.

Chicago Cubs Fan Doesn't Know Proper Trough Toilet Etiquette



While it is a bit shocking to see a Cubs fan peeing while standing up at one of Wrigley's piss troughs at least he isn't dropping a deuce in there. Too many Old Styles for this poor guy. You never go full ass in the men's pisser. Never. Ever.

J.B. Shuck's Amazing Over The Fence Into the Stands Catch



This has got to be the catch of the year right? Angels outfielder J.B. Shuck sacrificed every one of his limbs in going over the fence and into the stands to rob the Blue Jays Jose Bautista of a home run. Not only does he make the catch but he has the wherewithal to fire the ball back into play to prevent the runner on base from advancing. Sick catch brah!

Oregon's New Football Performance Center is Amazing



Very impressive Oregon. You just one upped Bama in terms of ridiculous football facilities. And people want to bitch and complain about the football players not getting enough compensation for their services. Shit. I wish I had a state of the art facility I could use every day in college to prepare me for the next level. On top of that a free education, food, room and board, clothes, women, fans, etc. Yup college football players at Oregon have it rough. Poor slaves.

Further Proof Soccer Players are the Biggest PussBalls in the World: Cristiano Ronaldo Throws Out First Pitch To Yasiel Puig



World's greatest athlete my ass. My 2-year old daughter has a better arm than this "athlete" named Cristiano Ronaldo. Apparently he's some famous soccer playing fairy. And yes I get it soccer players don't use their hands or arms but throwing a baseball is one of the things you have to do in order to survive. It's like the assholes you always hear about drowning at Lake Lanier every summer. If you don't know how to swim why the fuck would you go swimming or near a body of water? Ronaldo only uses his arms when he's doing reach arounds his teammates so why the hell would he be allowed to throw a first pitch at a real sporting event? It just makes no sense. People who can't swim and Ronaldo should be grateful they survived this long because God obviously hates them.

American Hustle Trailer



Holy film licking testicle balls. It's like the film gods read my mind and decided to put all of my favorite current actors in one movie. Bradley Cooper? Check. Christian Bale? Check. Amy Adams? Check. The goddess Jennifer Lawrence? Check! Jeremy Renner? Check. Fuck the story I just want to go see Cooper's perm for all it's glistening glory. Add some guns, 70's clothing, and a Scorsese feel to it and I'm sold.

Riley Cooper Used The N-Word at a Kenny Chesney Concert



I'm not sure what is more embarrassing for Philadelphia Eagles WR Riley Cooper. Using the N word is obviously very stupid and wrong but we are talking about a guy who plays for the Eagles who also sports a pony tail while taking in Kenny Chesney concerts. Plus he was a teammate with Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow at the University of Florida. Poor racist pony tail white receiver who plays in Philly.

Cooper apologized for getting caught using the racist word and now Michael Vick's outstanding citizen brother Marcus has put a bounty on his head. Life should be grand for new coach Chip Kelly. No controversies at all.

Braves Rookie Todd Cunningham Collected His First MLB Hit Last Night, Has A Rap Video Called "Rock Yo Jock"



With another injury to an Atlanta Braves outfielder rookie Todd Cunningham got called up last night and collected his first career hit in his first career at-bat. When Cunningham isn't rocking line drives to left field he is rocking the mic with his debut song "Rock Yo Jock." It's some sort of rap song about Christians and the birds and the bees and blah blah blah. The rookie needs to stick with baseball. Leave the christian rapping to the head fryers at Chick-Fil-A.

Miami Reliever Chad Qualls is as Graceful as a Swan



Tiger Woods has nothing on Marlins reliever Chad Qualls in fist pumps. Just pure grace and determination by Qualls. The newest attraction in that monstrosity of a stadium they got in Miami should be Niagara Qualls.

Social Experiment: Asking Guys For Sex



I don't see what the big deal is. This kind of shit happens to me everyday. I have to constantly remind my wife how lucky she is to have won this once in a lifetime prize. For the other 99.9% of dudes out there this must have been unusual. Sort of like someone handing you the winning lottery ticket for no good reason.

Johnny Football Smoked Some Weed, Drank Some Beers, and Got Kicked Out of a Texas Frat This Weekend



All in all I would say it was a just a normal summer weekend for any college student. Except the guy in the pink shirt getting thrown out of an University of Texas frat party doesn't go to school there. In fact he plays for a hated rival. He also owns a Heisman Trophy and comes from an extremely rich family. So while everybody is putting the microscope on Johnny Manziel he is still out living his life. One beer pong, one bong toke at a time.

Winning. Except I'm not sure the Johnny Football nickname is appropriate anymore. Manziel has been all about NOT football since their bowl game when they absolutely trucked the shit out of Oklahoma. He's Johnny Hangover. Johnny Drama. Johnny I might be losing millions in NFL signing bonus money because I can't keep my fucking nose clean.

Whatever. Roll on playa. We are just here to watch the shitshow for all it's glory. It's like watching a real life sequel to The Program and Manziel is doing his best Joe Kane impression.

Alex Rodriguez is a "Dog" according to Taiwanese Animation Report



I seriously want all my news delivered in Taiwanese animation. The comedic level takes it up an extra notch.

With Ryan Braun getting suspended for the rest of the season after lying about his PED use I think it's time for commissioner Bud Selig and the players union to make a huge statement with the latest Alex Rodriguez Biogenesis scandal: lifetime ban. A-Roid is a cheater. He's a disgrace to the game way more than Pete Rose. He has effected games good or bad for numerous seasons and still cheats it everyday. He should no longer have the ability to earn a living off of it. Throw him out. Kick him to the curb. And clean up the sport.

Jason Heyward Makes Game-Saving Diving Catch in 9th, Chipper Chews Out Mets Fan on Twitter



It's the bottom of the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves are clinging to a one-run lead with runners on first and second. The Mets Justin Turner takes a 1-0 gift of a pitch from closer Craig Kimbrel and rocked it to left center. A sure double off the bat and a winner for the stinkin' Mets. But center fielder Jason Heyward had different plans. In only his fifth game playing center field Heyward saved the game with an unbelievable catch.

Chipper Jones got an interesting response from a bitter Mets fan on Twitter. Chipper's response was classic...

Alabama's New Football Facilities Are Incredible



Well if you ever expected a Bama football player to actually attend class then this new football only facilities will no doubt squash those expectations. This is the definition of football factory. Bama just shit all over Oregon in terms of decadence and bravado with their new facility. Am I jealous? Fuck yeah I am. Good luck to the rest of the SEC when trying to get a recruit over Bama. One look inside this place and all the first round draft picks and you can pretty much count Bama as the destination for elite recruits.

Chris Davis AL Record 37 Homers Before The All-Star Break



Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis joins only Jimmie Foxx and Babe Ruth to hit at least 30 homers, drive in 90 runs, and hit .315 before the All-Star break. It's been a breakout season for Crush and the scary thing is despite the great numbers he still is not the leading MVP candidate. That would be reigning Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera. Miggy's stats are even better than last season. The only way Davis wins the MVP is if he keeps up his torrid pace and breaks Roger Maris record. It can be done but I think he will end up in the mid 50s in homer total. A great season no doubt. The more important thing is getting the Orioles back to the playoffs. Davis is doing his part but they need guys like Matt Wieters and Brian Roberts to step up their offensive games while the starting rotation needs to go at least 6 innings deep to give their bullpen some much needed rest.

Johnny Manziel Addresses Hangover Questions at SEC Media Day



I thought Johnny Football handled the questions pretty good. Look we all know he got shitfaced Friday night with the Mannings and AJ McCarron. The problem is he is still underage and he can't answer the questions honestly or he will not only get himself in trouble but Peyton and Eli too. He overslept the next day of the camp and was kicked out by Archie Manning. Shit happens especially when you are 20 years old. But I will say the media and more importantly NFL teams have a right to grill Manziel on his partying. If you are going to invest millions in a wildcard you have to do your due diligence. Johnny Football needs to get back on the football field because this whole offseason he has turned himself into Johnny Drama aka Johnny Hangover with all the late night shenanigans. I would probably do the same thing if I was a rock star college QB with a Heisman Trophy in my back pocket. Actually I would do the same thing. But I don't have millions in the bank waiting for me on my first job interview. So maybe just clean it up a little bit Manziel. We all want to see you beat Alabama again. But we also want the drama too. Fuck it just keep being yourself Johnny.

What do you think about Johnny Football and his off the field partying?
