laughedatbytime Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I can't take any more of the coverage of Johnny Manziel. It makes me only watch the games, not SportsCenter or any of the pregame shows. Enough about this guy. Something must show that this guy drives ratings, but I'd be shocked if he turns out to be a great NFL player...the coverage saturation is just way too much...

Narps Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have been ignoring sports completely (except golf) for a while now thank god. To much real news to pay attention too. When the NFL tees it up for real I will be front and center again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think they're desperate for a new quarterback star for when Brady, Manning, Brees and Rodgers are not around. They've tried to talk up the new wave of QBs but no one is all that convinced by them. They're "stars" of a fashion by default but never superstars. Let me break down why the new wave have failed to satisfy the media and the fans. Cam Newton - Cam is a more of runner than a thrower, the superman celebration is foolish, and when he's losing he covers his head in a towel. Colin Kaepernick - Kap is more of a runner than a thrower, the tats have more personality than him and the bicep kissing celebration is fuckking stupid! RG3 - Griffin is more of a runner than a thrower (can you sense a theme here? Mind you JM is more of a runner than a thrower too but anyway...), his busted knees have more personality than he has and when he loses he plots to get rid of his head coach and GM. Russell Wilson - Wilson is more of a runner than a thrower, he's too much of a good guy and his success seems to depend on the defense and Marshawn Lynch. Wilson does seem to have more personality than a pack of gum though. Andrew Luck - Isn't more of a runner than a thrower but still runs too much and takes hits, is the ugliest motherf**ker on earth and his Amish-style beard has more personality than he does. Ryan Tannehill - Ryan is more of a runner than a thrower because his o-line forces him to run for his life, his girlfriend is more interesting than his whole team and when they lose or win his GM and head coach plot to destroy the team. So that's why Johnny Manziel is catching the attention of the media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 He's the QB du jour. This too shall pas unless he does something to keep himself in the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm sick of hearing about anyone that actually hasn't done anything including manziel and Michael Sam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I know he's not done jack but I'll watch every game he plays. If his coaches don't mess him up and let him do his thing, he might get injured, but he might give us some magic. He's fascinating to watch. everything he does is under microscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Don't watch ESPN much these days. If there is some thing on the NFL network that interests me I will. A lot of hype on sports channels these days. Not much substance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like watching Madden do a game with Favre. Fortunately I'll be able to watch a tape of the Dolphins playing some team with Arena League unis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I fired ESPN a long time ago, and I don't have the NFL Network, so what little I see of Manziel is online. I can delete him with just one click of the mouse. Network sports channels are pure crap these days. Nothing but bandwagon drivel about Manziel, Woods, or whoever they deem their latest media cash cow..... :boo hiss: :boo hiss: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I was sick of hearing about him last season, never mind this one. His money celebration makes me want to donkey punch the fugly fat bish. BTW his dopey grin makes his face look like a badly-carved Jack o' Lantern.

His money celebration makes me want to donkey punch the fugly fat bish.I hate to say this but he sounds like another Kap/Cam/RG3. 1. He's more of a runner than a thrower2. He has an idiotic TD celebration3. He will be pissed on a losing team and plot against his HC and GM, who could be ousted at any time.4. Even though his "bad boy" partying image makes him seem like he has personality, he's probably got as much personality in reality as the snot in Cam Newton's towel.5. He has the insane jug ears and stupid grin to compete with Andrew Luck's Amish beard and farm boy retard look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Packer offense looking pretty good against a very good St Louis D on their first two drives. Game remarkably penalty free so far (though a TD was called back on a hold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Am I overdoing the "he's more of a runner than a thrower" theme yet? No. Not enough really.

Turbine Freight Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Am I overdoing the "he's more of a runner than a thrower" theme yet? What? Never! It's a fair point though. The new breed of QBs are too eager to run now than stay put & pass neatly out of the pocket imo. From what I've seen of Manziel's college tapes, his first instinct is to run. That's going to make it harder for him to be effective at this level . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a dance celebration? Whatever he comes up with it's got to be better than Lance Moore's two left feet performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still playing fantasy football at the time and he was on my team. I hate the need to celebrate a TD in some creative way...but if the guy is any kind of teammate he wouldn't do it. I can't see him doing it in a real game. I'm actually surprised that Goodell allows this call given that it reduces the chance of a touchback on the kickoff...

He and Eric Martin were the best receivers in SAINTS history, maybe still are but Colston has all their records now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
