Manziel flipped off the Redskins sideline. As if he and the Browns need more media attention.

 

The NFL is so ridiculous. Between all the bad stuff off the field, the way players are used and abused by teams, suddenly a talented kid shows a little bit of attitude and he is treated like the devil.

I'm pulling for Manziel because the criticism of him compared to other football players is ridiculous and idiotic

The modern day Jim McMahon.

Yup.

Manziel is getting into the "I'm sick of hearing about Tim Tebow Manziel" realm for me. Either go out and actually earn all this attention or please stop telling me about him.

I'm sick of Manziel because I think he is vastly overrated

Some notes on PFF's preseason QB scores:

 

1. Matt Cassel

2. Jay Cutler

3. Joe Webb

4. Blake Bortles

5. Matt Ryan

 

...

 

T76. RG3

78. Johnny Manziel

 

...

 

82. Eli Manning

83. Kirk Cousins

 

89 qualified QBs

He needs to beat a woman so the NFL will accept him with open arms.

I don't disagree that Manziel maybe overrated, but preseason scores? Really?

While I agree with you...you can't be flipping people off on the field. That's a little bit different than other things he's done.

This is true. Given that you know the cameras are on you 24-7, he needs to find a more subtler way to return trash talk.

Should be noted Manziel has often played on Cleveland 2nd team offense, considering how bad their starting WRs are, can't imagine it gets better.

He needs to show that it doesnt get to him before he starts trash talking. Flipping them the bird shortly after Orakpo did the money grab showed he has thin skin, and you can bet that other teams are gonna do the same thing to him until he shows that it doesnt matter to him.

I never understand how people can be mad at the player for attention given to them by the media

I didn't mean for that to have anything to do with my previous comment, though it certainly doesn't bode well

The NFL is asking music acts to pay the NFL to play at the Superbowl.

Rihanna, Katy Perry, or Coldplay might be doing the Super Bowl halftime show this year—that is, if they’re willing to pay up. According to The Wall Street Journal, the NFL has narrowed down its list of potential performers for the 2015 gig to those three candidates, though it’s also asking “at least some of the acts” if they’d be willing to pay the league for the privilege of playing the halftime show—something that’s absolutely insane, but not 100 percent unreasonable, considering how many people actually watch the performance. Alternately (and this is where it gets wacky), they should “be willing to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league.”

LOL, my wife met Ditka at some store opening yesterday, had I known she could have asked him about the Skins!

Wow.

the best part is floating the idea of the billionaire NFL owners getting a cut of future tour sales from the acts.

Anyone know if Bears / Seahawks game is going to be live on NFL Network?

Looks like there's an hour delay (Starts at 10 on NFLN, 9 on Fox).

Ah...i'm good with that. I watch less and less sports live with the little one at home. 7 PST is perfect cause I can record and sit down on the couch around 7:45 after we put the little one down and relax with the wife and the Bears!!!
