I was pissed that he let his ego go before the team and got a dumb penalty. I was glad he sat.


Were you as equally outraged when he did the superman/Cam thing against Mississippi State drawing the same penalty? Every time it shows up on a highlight reel you are thinking, "gosh darnit, Johnny! You're hurting your team!!!!!"?

Yes I was. I hate that shite. Always have. Doesn't matter if its him or anyone else.

I was cussing Swopes last year at Bama when he did that yell after he made a big catch. Thought he was going to be flagged.

Agreed. I don't mind the emotion, but don't get a damned penalty over it.

That's when I lose it.

The liberal media loves to bash TAMU and they love to praise texas university. Go figure.

I know its not a popular stance and I will take the ribbing.

I enjoy the way the NE Patriots play on the field. Bellicheck shouting to his players "Do your job!" That's music to my ears.

I blame all of this on Billy Whiteshoes Johnson.

Personally I don't care if this is true. The media isn't causing A&M to get 15-yard penalties.

Take for instance the "money sign". that's not a money sign, that's our signal for sending in the next play.


Send in the next play after a touchdown, you mean?

so much football yesterday and THIS....THIS is the headline ESPN has at the top. Why is it even a headline?


It's a headline because the Heisman trophy winner and who should be the leader of a possible championship contender acted a fool and was penalized for it. It isn't about A&M or whatever crazy bias some seem to think ESPN has for A&M.

You Aggies are such hyporcites. If said player for LSU, Bama, Texas, Arki or anyone you play did the things he has done; you would want him suspended put in jail or executed.

My favorite NBA team is the San Antonio Spurs. Dwayne Wade said after the NBA Finals that he STILL doesn't know what some of the Spurs' players voices even sound like. I can definitely appreciate the "do your job" approach.

But I can also appreciate raw emotion of the game. Swope's screams were iconic, and only a stupid person or ref would read what he did as taunting.

Just my $.02

I think execution would be going overboard.

This is one of the most ignorant things ever posted on the rant, on multiple levels.

And that is a HIGH bar you've reached there.

Well of course, but you get the point. Is the media going overboard? Of course they are, but he keeps putting himself above the team, and giving them ammo.

The press makes it sound like he is a murderer or something. I took my brother from baton rouge to the game and he had a ball except for the heat. He was impressed with Manziel. Them we can home and turned on ESPN and saw what the press is doing to this kid. He just laughed.

How many flags were thrown yesterday for players cursing? ONE! What does that tell you? I do not ever recall a penalty for cursing.

What I am tired of is Joeckel getting no press for 28 points in a half in his first game. Not a word on A&M scoring 52 points when they only had the ball 21 minutes. A rookie punter with a 77 yard punt into the wind. Every time this kid farts that makes the headlines and nothing else.
