Johnny Football’s bandwagon has become too dizzy
I don’t know where I jumped off the Johnny Football bandwagon, but I think it was somewhere between his parents trademarking his nickname and that national column that compared him to Oprah.
The ride was fun while it lasted, though. Before Johnny Manziel arrived in Aggieland, with ominous moving-to-the-SEC drums rumbling, the official Texas A&M team car may as well have been a hearse. Now, it seems, it’s a black Mercedes-Benz, paid for by his daddy, with new rims.
Ah, the rims. If you believe the latest story, Manziel needed money for the rims. So he allegedly broke one of the easiest NCAA rules to remember:
Thou shalt not sell your stuff.

This guy is sure giving a black eye to a country and a game that claims free speech as a virtue. The fun of sport is that trash talk after the scoreboard gets put up. The reason he seems so interesting to me is all these commentators tell people to hate him because he doesn't follow societies unwritten rules and when he points out that he has done well and proved them wrong again they hate him even more.
Go JOHNNY
